A STRONG MAN.
CORRUPT OFFICIALS TO BE SUED.
LANGSTON WILL SPEAK IN CHICAGO


publican party can no longer be concealed,
and the exceeding great carefulness of the
President in making appointments has be-
come SO tantalizing to the professional poll
tlcians that a quality which, under or
dlnary circumstances is a virtue, ceases to
be one.
Senator W. NJ. Stewart, of Nevada, was
on the limited last night going home, and
more disguised individual could hardly be
found in the entire country. He had been
pouring out the vials of his wrath to Con-
gresham Ford, a Michigan Democrat, and
John NJ. Langston, the colored orator of
Virginia, on the way to Pittsburg, and it
didn't take the reporters long to get him
started. He said:
'I am disgusted with the administration.
Harrison is moving entirely too slowly in
turning the rascals out. wish we could
have Secretary OF the Interior who knew
the names of at least ten States and could
locate as many rivers. 1 am tired of trying
to have good men appointed, and 1 am now
going back to Nevada to indict some of the
Democrats in Office.
TRUE BILLS THE ONLY MEANS.
''That is the only way we can get them
out. I am convinced the administration
will not move in the matter. We had bet
ter have all our Foreign Ministers appointed
under civil service rules.
81 have been kicking against the Land
Commissioner for the past four years with
out avail. The Government land is west
of the Mississippi; but invariably some
Eastern fogy is appointed, who doesn't
know anything about the business
of the office. These officials proceed
to appoint lot of subordinates who are
sticks like themselves. There isn't man
of them that understands the situation.
Mining patents have been accumulating
since Cleveland's advent in Office, and the
result is that business in the West is suffer-
ing. 1 can't get these fellows to act on
them, and the Western people don't know
where they stand or what they own.
An honest man is denied his
rights, while those who grease the hands of
these hirelings' go off rejoicing with the
land that doesn't belong to them. have
pointed out these evils to the President; but
he sits back and does nothing. 1 propose
from this out to resort to the law for redress.
It is pretty state of affairs when Repub-
lcan President is afraid to turn out Demo-
cratic officials"
CAMERON is SULKNG, TOO.
Congressman Ford, of The Ford Commit
tee that investigated the evils of immigra-
tion, was also on the train. He reports that
affairs are at a white heat in the Republi-
can ranks. He says he got it straight the
other day that Senator Cameron positively
refuses to visit the White House hereafter.
He is disguised with the Presidents eau
tious and snail-like movements Senator
Stewart expressed his opinion of the
administration TO Mr.. Ford in very forcible
language, and the Congressm an stated
that he had heard other prominent Repub-
1icans make loud complaints. He doesn't
think the Democrats will win again in four
wears, but the internecine war in the Re
publican ranks is badly demoralizing the
party.
He said also that the Inauguration Com.
mittee agreed in the main, and he thought
the bill drafted and introduced by himself
would be passed in the next Congress

THE VIRGINIA CoUNT-oUT.
Mr.. Langston claims that Virginia went
Republican by a majority of 1000 votes
but the Democrats counted them out. h
feels bitter against Malone for fighting hin
on the ground of his color. Said he: f'Ma

other day, and I am told he came away
with few crumbs of comfort. 1 had an

in the way of appointments, but he assured
me that he had the warmest feeling for then
and would do something in the near future
"But must say the President is moving
entirely too slowly. He feels the weight O.
the responsibility, and doesn't want t.
make mistakes. He says the Government
is large and he is anxious to know more o.
the details"
Mr.. Langston had read in THE DIsPATcH
the speeches of Mckinley and Goff, deliv
cred at the Americas Club banquet. H,
asked quickly if Mckinley had said wha
he did about the colored people, and wheI
assured that he had been reported correctly
