and 4 small Senatoy-for big and little there
are. even Of kines-wifh two appointment.
Thus. though his selection comes, under the
circumstances, very early, SIR. Palmer
wishes ii were later in the season.
The appointment Of Capt. MerldeCt, the
other Chicago candidate for Public Printer,
70 bc head of the Bureau Of Printing and
Engraving, Is expected this week. Of
course If viii raise a howl among candi-
dates from other States. but Illinois will
be content, al least fof . few weeks.
Mr.. Thompson, The new Democratic
member OF the Civil Service Commission,
has been sworn In, but Mr.. Roosevelt, the
Republican, lias not gone through the GER
emony. Mr.. Roosevelt IL very wealthy
and Il docs not make much difference IN
him whether or not the first weeks salary
lapSes. This Is n pleasant variation Of
the Office seekers usual course, for it il
generally difficult to keep a MAJ from be-
ing sworn In before bis appointment is
finally signed. The appointment Of
Meagrs. Thompson and Roosevelt appear
10 DO satisfactory to all parties. Both
claim to be civil service refofmers, and
Mir. itooseyeit's New York second would
support his allegation, although the spoils-
men Of his party are no lcas jubilant over
bis appointment than are the nformers.
| suppose there are mental reservations in
all this. Exactly what either Of the new
Commissioners will do Is more Or less Of a
question and both wings are willing to
cogciiiate aud await their movements.
