an open secret that the Presidents Poll
cy IS not in accord with that of some of
his Cabinet officers. Onoye ago to day
Harrison vas ioauguratod President,
and L have reason to know that there
have been some stiff fights over appoint
ments, behind the scenes, OF course.
For instance, there IS a Republican
Judge in North Carolina. who has fer
the past twelve months been EXPECTING
an appointment to good legal position
IN the Interior Department now held hv
North Carolina Democrat The North
Carolina Republicans made strong eff
for' to get their man in and have the
Democrat ousted. [ hear thev are about
tc succeed but their success will be due
to Harrison and not to Noble. 1t is

Norl Carolina Democrat in, and that
he is inclined to follow the mugwum-
plan policy inaugurated especially by
Mr.. Bayard during the last administra-
tlon IL order to gain friends, and that he
aspires to higher honors, viz, the Pres
idency Mr. Noble will not get a single
North Carolina vote in a nominating
convention by this sort Of policy. wi
IDENTIFY he does not know what kind Of
people he is dealing with He has lost
caste with the North Carolina Republi-
cans by holding off about one year, aud
has gained nothing with the Democrats.
Harrison has intimated plainly tfat he
will not countenance Mobiles programme
and the North Carolina Judge will get
his place in the near future

If this is all they can bring against Col

So far as my observation goes Col Can

He has always been courteous an
