President Harrison is about as mad
a man as it would be possible to find
in days travel. He has become fully
satisfied that at least two men, promi-
nently connected with the administra-
ton - Assistant Postmaster General
Clarkson and U.s. Treas, Huston have
been abusing him at every opportunity
and telling other friends that they in
tended to resign just as soon as they
could 6nd an opportunity to embar-
rass him by so doing. He also has
under suspicion several other high
officials and it would not be at all
surprising if several designations we're
poremptorily demanded by him in the
near future.
