New YORK, July 91.-The resignation
of Collector Erhardt seems likely to be
followed by series of political sur
prises. Close upon the heels OF Ell
hardt's resignation comes the report
that Special Treasury Agent Wilbur is
likely to be appointed assistant ap-
praiser for the port OF New York. Ap-
praiser Cooper said to-day: Il nave
not been officially notified of the ap-
pointment of Mr.. Wilbur, and have GER
tainly not been consulted on the matter.
While was in Washington, however.
l heard the matter seriously talked OF,
and wouldn't be surprised if the ap-
pointment was made. If such a step
should be taken. l should regard 1t
as personal menace to myself.
To appoint man for my as
sistant who has waged a personal
fight with me for the past eighteen
months could be regarded in no other
light, and would, if the threat were car
ried out. be equivalent to demanding
INV resignation, which l have failed
thus far to place in the hands of the
president. As to the motive which
would lead to Mr.. Wilbur's appoint
ment. l can safely say that 1t is not at

but rather emanates from body OF
gentlemen who are now filing positions
and deciding upon questions OF which
they have, to say the least, no practical
knowledge. As to the motive which
would impel the president to consider
the recommendation of the board of
general appraisers, who would like.
doubtless, to have one of their friends
in my department, l can say that
it is not usual for person
with an aspiration for the position
of chief magistrate of this country. in
the effort to strengthen his cause, to
commit the very act which will be fatal
to his hopes. John Sherman once in
terfered in politics in the state of New
York, by removing the collector and
surveyor. BY so doing he lost the pres
ideney. History has a habit of repeat
ing itself. At the present time. just be-
fore an important state election is TO

matter fraught with much danger to at
tempt to make radical changes. Mr..
Harrison has made good president,

possibility, but there has never been,
any real enthusiasm for him. To EN-
gender hostility at this time would not,
