WASHINGTON LETTER

he iust Win tuc u. a. IL. OY Tile
disnlissa that's The proper word
Of Pension Commissioner Tanrci
by rendering the arpointn cnt to
cX-Representatlyc Warner, of
Missouri, who is ex-commandor-
iu-ehlef of the q. A. II. Warner
is here, but he hns not accepted
the appointm, Mt, aud there seems
TO be considerable doubt as to
whether he will. Tanner friends
arc bringing AL ihe pressure they
can control, to bean on him to
persuade him to decline.
If this Tanner business does
not form Il boomerang for Presl-
dent Harrison shall, be very
much mistaken Little ii pub
lcly sad by republican here, fol
all those not ~ office hope to
be, but privately The opinions
expressed Of President Harrison
ate anything else than complimot-
laiy 10 him and they do nol aueur
well for his getting the nomlnaS
tion again, and that he is ambi-
tlously boxing forward to that hrs
ALREADY become PLAIN to the rolti-
cal student. Tanner has, so far re-
fused to be placatcd. lIe re-
fused 10 accept Il u. s. Marshall

sitlon of Recorder Of Deeds m
this city, Notwithstanding lIle
Presidents promise 60 the eiti-
zens hNIe that 40 outsider should
be appointed to local Office.
Tanners friends don't want HIM
70 accept anything more from the
administration. How strong this
feeling Is may be judged from the
fact that prominent merchant Of
this city, republican of course,
told your correspondent that if
Tanner would refuse to accept
Office he wouldcontubute towards
a fund for his support.
1t has been openly limited foi
some time around Washington
that there was a growing feeling
of jealousy between Sentaor Sher-
man and Representative McKln-
ley, Of Ohio, and the fact that
Mr.. McKialey took no part IN the
reception tenderd the Senator
upon his return from Europe
makes it look very much like
there was solid fouadation fol
the hints. II was gwen out tha
Mr.. Mckinley went to Nsw YorL
TO meet tho Senator and missed
him. That story may do 70
( some peoplr, but 1t will not q,
down with III politicians. If Mr.
Mckinley missed Senator Sher
man it was because he wanted TO
