WAsHINGTON, September 3O.-lt looks
as though Loge Harris crowd is to re-
ceive some reward ntterall His brOt her
in-law. Colonel Tim Lee, as the Post
calls him, was last Saturday appointed
immigrant inspector at Wilmington, N
\. G., at Il salary of five dollars a dav
Tim kept a bar room in Raleigh some
years ago, and afterwards carried on the
same business in the Post building inthis
city. So seductive were the cocktails
that he cOncocted here, that he won the
favor of many prominent democrats
such as Pat Collins and Tim Campbell
and by their influence secured position
in the government printing Office under
the last administration. AS soon as Mr.
Harrison took his seat, Tim bIossumed
out as IuI-iledged Republican and has
done some some tall talking for the
grand old party AT the l:bhtt house.
Recently met one of the Young Kings
county politicians who helped to defeat
Mr.. Cleveland. l'uring the last admins
ton he was appointed tr position in
the interior Department under rcivil-servce
rules, but when the work upon which
they were engaged was finished, Villas
turned him and several other Democrats
out. This youn" man thought that if
any one had to 90. It should have been
some uI the Republicans with whom the
Department was filled. With his Con
grcSSnnn he went t. see Cleveland and
liam l,t,t tbn, did Ntb bip,. t,,
help him. lie at once turned Republican,
and when the campaign opened, he went
to Bruoklyn and devoted his time and
money to the election of iIarr.iSu n and
Morton. Last spring he came back to
the city, told Secretary Proctor what he
had doUe. and was rewarded with a |
place i'll the war department. He told
nnc that he would have nothing to do |
hereafter with party that rewarded its
enemies instead Of its friends.
