The Hon. WILLIAM MCKINLEY made this
bland remark to CORRESPONDENT OF the Phila-
delDhid Inquirer:
"lhave no hesitation in saying that in nv opinion
BENJAMIN HARRISON will be nominated for President in
1892 and have any reason to doubt that he
would bs again elected. Ho has kept the promises he
has maue."
II Gen. HARRISON has kent the promises he
has made to the country and the Republican
party. the fact is not generally known. But
Major MCKINLEY is notably polite And he Is
also notably dollchocephalic. II he speaks
pleasantly OF Gen. HARRISON. Gen. HARRISON
may think pleasantly OF him. II the compli-
ment OF Major MCKINLEY is seen to be only a
compliment. when the Convention OF 1899
meets; and II BENJAMIN HARRISON fails to NOM
inate himself. why may he not turn some ma
chine votes in favor OF his admirer2
Meanwhile. the Importance and popularity OF
Major MCKINLEY will be less offensive TO the

Tho Warden of tho Grand Jury.

Mr.. JAMES A. MONAGHAN. member OF As
eembly from the Third district Of this city,
has introduced in the Legislature bill to
authorize the appointment OF an officer to be
known as the Warden OF the Grand Jury in
the city and county of New York.
This officer, according to the provisions OF
Mr.. MONAGHAN 8 bill. Is to take charge Of the
Grand Juries In the Court OF General Ses-
sions, and to guard over such Grand Juries
under the direction Of the Judge while the
members thereof are in session and in court,
and going to and returning from court. His
functions are to be exercised Ito the exclu-
sion OF all other persons" The official term
OF the Warden of the Grand jury as this
person is to be called. is fixed at fourteen
years from the first day OF January, 1891.
He may be removed from office by the Gem
eral Term OF the Supreme Court upon
charges preferred by majority OF the
Judges Of the Court OF General Sessions.
There are four Judges Of that court, includ-
ing the Recorder; but, singularly enough, al
though three Of the members of the Court
Of General Sessions must unite in order to
bring about the removal of the Warden, the
power to appoint that officer Is to be vested
solely in the Recorder
MIR. MoNAGHANs bill Is preposterous at
tempt to create new Office for which there
Is absolutely no need. Tho duties Of his
Warden Of the Grand Jury can be adequate
ly performed by the ordinary court officers
or attendants. The proposed Warden would
in reality be only such an officer, holding
his place for fourteen years instead OF at the
will OF the court, and drawing salary OF
So 1000, instead of about hall that amount.
There Is not half as much need OF a Warden |
to keep guard over the Grand Juries in the |
city and county OF New York as there is Of |
one to keep guard over the Senate and As
sembly in the city and county d Albany. A
Warden Of the Legislature who would pre-
vent the perpetration Of such an iniquity as
the proposed enactment OF the pending bill
to establish special tribunal for the trial OF
the aqueduct claims. would indeed be an in
valuable public officer.

to increase the pregsut fes'lps Of irrits-

on the President by reason of his great
reluctance to mako public any part of

auire the publicaton of these instruc-

"Your committee submit that these

mon justice; that they were there In dis
regGyd OF the honor, interest and dignity

request of George P. Fisher aud William

of every principle of honor, integrity
md common dscency-sad that they
were there to secure the election by
force and fraud of the persons Masking
the request and their associates on the

elsotion Of William Cannon as governor
of this State, against the known wishes o.
O large majority Of the legal voters OF tnt
