The people at the Republican campaign
headquarters. with the possible exception q.
the ever clipper Cen. James wnggish Hustled.
did not preserve their checrfulness yesterday.
The frank young features OF John w. Dwight
were clouded. his experience In politics not
being sufficient to give him Gen. Jini's power
OF dissimulation. The trouble was over the
resignation OF Congressman James W. Wnds-
worth from tho treasurership on account
OF the law forbid ling Congrossmen from being
concerned In collecting contributions for
political purposes. OF course the resignation
itself was beyond troubling anybody. That
was all taken care OF the day before But the
responsibility Of Francis Hendricks. Collector
OF tho Portland Cornelius Van Cott, Postmaster
oftho cty.was SO closely pointed to by this prec-
edent as to make the campaign managers un-
comfortable in their sense Of political expedl-
ency. which Is as near to conscience as the
Fifth Avenue Hotol headquarters furniture
can furnish. For much Of tho soliciting by
circular has been dono among the officials OF
the customs and postal departments, and tho
circulars are sent out under tho authority OF
the State Committee. Of which Mr.. Hendricks
and Mr.. Van Colt are both members.
In discussing the point Mr.. Dwight's nervous
words were no more successful than his too
expressive eountenGnce in concealing his con-
cern over the matter. The words warc brave
enough. but tho manner oftheir saying proved
them to be only words.
There is no violation OF the civil service
law. or any other law. tn their connection with
