BEAVER VISITS HARRISON.
The Governor Talks About Forestry and
Puts In a Word for His Friends.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE D1sPATcH.I
WAsHINGT ON, April Ex-Governor
Beaver dropped down upon the Capital late
last night, and to-day spent some time with
President Harrison. The announced reason
for his visit is that as President of the
American Forestry Association he came to
confer with others similarly interested with
a view to making arrangements for the COM
ing Congress, and that he visited the Presi-
dent to urge that official to say something
nice for forestry in his first message to Con-
gress.
1t is true this was partially his purpose,
but he took occasion also to say something
in favor of candidate or two for Pennsyl-
vania Offices, and specially last word for
Donath for Public Printer. He could give
no reason why important appointments for
Pennsylvania are not made, and he would
venture no opinion on the charges made by
Senator Rutan against the Legislature e1-
cept to say that Rutan was sick, and sick
people are apt to find fault

rsrrc1A1 TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH,


WASHINGTON, April 24.-''If the cleo
ton were to recur tomorrow Cleveland
would have 2O0, 900 majority in New York. :"
This was the startling utterance of an ex-
official and prominent Republican of Cen
tral New York, who arrived in the city this
evening. The remark was made to New
York Republican Congressman, who re-
peated it to the correspondent of The
DISPATCH. The Congressman explained
that in all his experience he had never
known so great dissatisfaction with an ad-
ministration in its first days on account of
the manner of distributing patronage.
Garfield displeased the stalwarts, but he
pleased his own crowd. Harrison pleases
nobody. He won't move. There is no ac-
ton in him. he is in trance. He wants
to please both sides where there are factions,
and he only succeeds in disgusting all
sides. Why don't he clean out the consuls?
Especially the confounded highbred con-
suls who were put in by Republicans and
held over by licking the boots of the free
trade administration. And then there are
the postofices, the revenue offices, pension
agents and so on. But what's the use talk
ing. He won't do it. He's like block of
wood. You can't make an impression on
him if you talk yourself blind. Some of
the others are better. Clarkson is daisy,
but so far there is only one Clarkson."
This friend of mine spoke exactly as he
felt. He is power in politics in New
York, man of great wealth, high tariff
iron manufacturer, and when he says that if
the election were held again Cleveland
would have tremendous majority he tells
an eloquent story of the universal dissatis-
faction with the methods of President Har-
