Whose Friends Expect Their Retention in
Fat Positions.
WARMCASTLE is AT WORK.
TWO HOLD-OVER REPUBLICANS
INCUMBENTS GET TWO WEEKS NOTICE

Collector Of Internal Revenue Warm
castle is experiencing trouble in getting his
list of appointments fixed up. He took the
list home with him last night, and made q
heroic effort to get it finally in shape, but
was not by any means certain that it would
be completed within As hours. There are
ITO appointments to make. and the claims
of nine Congressmen and "a counties have
to be taken into consideration, for the Col
lector says frankly that he believes in home
rule.
1t is understood that Mr.. Warmcastle
will give the present incumbents at least
two weeks notice, and the fact that he has
been in office two months and has not made
a single change speaks volumes for his
desire to do nothing that will impair the
efficiency of the service. 1t is even stated
that longer tenure of Office than two weeks
will be enjoyed by certain of the present
incumbents, whose sudden retirement might
throw matters into confusion. Mr.. Warm
castle has succeeded in securing the good
will of every Democrat now on the force.

HoLDovER REPUBLICANS.
OF the entire list, as given, there happen
to be two Republicans who held Office under
and during Collector Bigler's whole term,
and the positions happen to be two of the
best within the new Collectors gift. H. S.
Mitchell is Chief Deputy at present hold
ing the Office next below the Collectorship.
Mr.. Mitchell was retained by ex-Collector
Bigler, mainly because of his great famil-
larlIY WIN Ine aualrs OF Lne once. InlS
fact, coupled with Mr.. Mitchell's ebony Re
publicanism, impels many to believe that
he will continue as Chief Deputy under the
new regime. The same reasons cause the
friends OF Major James L. Graham to he
Heve that he, too, will continue to grace the
position of Office Deputy, although Col
lector Warmcastle has not made the slightest
intimation concerning his intentions in re-
gard to
THE ONLY TWO REPUBLICANS
who escaped Collector Bigler's sweep of the |
Jacksonian Office ak. Mr.. Mitchell was in the
Office as far back as in Collector Jackson's |
time, while no one seems to remember the |
time when Major Graham was not serving
Uncle Sam.
The extent of the patronage awaiting Mr.. |
Warmcastle's distribution shades the neat |
sum of S100, 900 per annum. In addition to |
the Office force and deputies above enumer-
ated, there are ten clerks whose salaries |
range from 5000 to 81, 800 a year; % store |
keepers who receive S4 per diem; 10 gaugers |
whose fees are not exceeding So per diem, 80 |
gentlemen who combine the functions of |
storekeepers and gaugers, and who, by in |
verse ratio. receive from 81 to 81 per diem. |
