THE PRESIDENTS DEPARTURES.
He Leaves HIS Party Friends Wen Sstis.
ned WITH the Political Situation.

The President went to Deer Park TO-DAY,
leaving the politicians in better mood than
when he went before. He has not given them
very much in the way Of appointments, but he
has opened one Of the slides far enough to let
on side light fash, which reveals that he
knows something Of politics. They are en-
couraged to believe that he knows pretty well
what he Is about and that the administration
win not be . stranger to good politics during
its time. There has been q significance in the
sheets Of appointments that have gone from
the White House during the past two days. A
few, only a few, Of the old candidates, who
have been growing respondent of late, found
their names on the list; and two or three hard
tights have been settled. This encourages
others who feel that there is no defect in
their claims. Il is announced, further,
that at Deer Park the President
intends1to continue his work. As an evidence
OF this intention many bundles of papers were
done up and taken with him to-day. If some
OF the candidates were suddenly to be seized
with desire to withdraw their papers from the
hles at the White House they might find that
they had been taken to Deer Park.
AN ALABAMA CONTEST SETTLED.
In the appointment Yesterday of a United
States marshal in the northern district of Ala
bama the President settled contest between
twenty-five boiling-hot candidates by the ap-
pointment OF the twenty-third man.
THE VIRGINIA AGREEMENT
In the settlement Of the Virginia affairs was
shown the shrewd hand of politics, and all the
credit will not 60 to Quay and Clarkson. The
President was consulted in the matter on every
point, and when the word "harmony" was pro-
nounced he said both elements Of the party
should receive Substantial recognition" He
showed his good faith and the force Of his
meaning few hours later by appointing Col
Brady, the leading anti-Mahone man, to be
collector OF internal revenue for the second
(the Richmon0 district, at a salary of O., 500
per year, and P. II. Mccall, a Malone man. to
be collector in the sixth district, at tine same
rate Of salary.
NO MERE TRUCE, BUT COMPLETE HARMoNY.
The healing touch Of the hand of the Presi-
dent and the national executive committee has
produced complete harmony in the party in
Virginia. Substantial recognition" is to be
given by the administration, substantial advice
Is to be given by Mr.. Quay, the party
Is to hang together, and allare to work to carry
the state this fall. Looking Just q little way
further ahead a Virginia delegation may be
expected to vote solidly for some mans nomi-
convention,
work to be done this fall Is hoped to tend
toward carrying the state for the republicans
In little over three years hence.
Inns piece OF harmonizing is q creditable
bit OF work. That there is real harmony may
be known from the fact that Col. Brady said
be the candidate for governor il he wanted it
To-DAY's APPOINTMENTS.
The appointment of M. NJ Hurley of Indiana
to succeed Gen Williams as third auditor Of
the Treasury and of J. H. Franklin of Kansas
to succeed Mr.. Mcmahon as deputy second con-
troller clears up all the appointments of ac-
counting officers in the Treasury.
The other appointments made to-day settle
contests OF long standing for the most part.
THE PRESIDENTS VACATION PROGRAM
The President and Mrs. Harrison left Wash
ington for Deer Park to-day, where they will
remain for two weeks. At the end Of that time
the President will return to Washing
ton, and, after spending few DAYS

Harbor, remaining with him another fort
night Mrs. Harrison has not yet decided
whether she will accompany the President on
visit to MIR. Blaine the President will again
come TO Washington and prepare for a longer
stay at Deer Park. 1t is his intention to be
there during the whole month of September.
1t Is probable that the program given will be
carried out, although the length Of the Presi-

through his personal desire or the demands
