was on the stafTs OF the National Commanders
Of the @. A. r. He was also Secretary OF
tho New York State Democratic Committee
during the campaign of 1885. He AYERS that
his removal Is not only unwarranted, but
wholly illegal and in violation Of pledges
made to him. BackuS asserts that after the
campaign OF 1885 1t was understood that he
was to be the deputy. and that Elliot Danforth
only secured the deput-ship by agreeing to re-
sign on April l, 1885; that Danforth filed his
resignation when no entered upon the duties
OF his office on Jan. l. 1886, and that he
tBaokusl was to succeed him. This arrange
ment, according to Mr.. Backus. was confirmed
by Gov Hill. who said to him: This is
absolute and final" Notwithstanding all these
assurances he was not made deputy and Dan
Again Backus declares that he was promised
the post Of cashier and RECEIVING clerk at the
beginning OF Treasurer Fitzgerald's second

This promise was also unfulnlled. and when
he demanded an explanat the salary OF The

stead OF his own tS2. 400L and he was persuaded
to keep his place aB bookkeeper. All through
1883 he was paid $1,000. but on Feb. l, 1882 his
salary was cut down to $2.400 again and has
remained at that figure ever since.
When Danforth was elected last fall he as
cured Backus that his place was secure. nor
did he lBackus) have any intmation to the
contrary until the afternoon Of Dec 81. when
Treasurer Danforth informed him that Mr.
Irish had been appointed In his place at the In
stance Of Gov. Hill. Mr.. Backus then and
there challenged the authority OF the Treas
urer to remove him without cause under chap
tors 312 and 4l0 Laws OF 1884. and declared his
intention OF contesting the removal In the
courts. Acting on the advice Of counsel, Mr..
Backus had previously made formal applica-

that as he has reformed his duties salts
