POWER OF A COLLECTOR.
A NEW YORK OFFICEHOLDER WHO
Is A PRETTY BIG MAN.

Even the President Doesn't Want to
Monkey with Him-He Can Do just
About as He Pleases = Civil Service
Rules Are Even Threatened.
NEW YORK, Jan. Ii Special. Col
lector Hendricks, in the estimation of Re-
publicans, is now figure in the party in
New York State. AS the third Col
lector of the Port during Harrison's s
administration it is apparent to Republicans
that Mr.. Hendricks could do almost about
as he pleases in his office. 1t was said to-
day that Mr.. Harrison could not afford on
any circumstances to have Mr.. Hendricks
retire from his place. Mr.. Hendricks ap-
preciates the strength of his position.
Colonel Erhardt was greatly troubled by
the special agents. They had their own
schemes to work, and they were powerful
in his day. Fassett was not long enough
in Office to run up against these
people. But Hendricks is the man,
according to the Republicans, who can now
dictate the policy of the New York Custom
House. Should he demand that the special
treasury agents stop their interference with
the affairs of this port, they would have to
stop it. On this point an eminent Republic
an said to-day:
Possibly Mr.. Hendricks scarcely appre-
CldleS Ills power, DuL DeleEe tDdU he uOeS.
He is q partisan Republican. There is no
mistake about that: and l believe that he is
longing to ascertain the means by
which he can circumnavigate the civil SER
vice rules and give the patronage now
enjoyed by the Democrats to the Republic
ans. believe that if Governor Flower turns
out the Cornell holdovers, Hendricks will
turn out every Democrat in the custom
house. He will do it in spite of the
objections ofhis personal friends. The Demo
Gratis in the Federal service aref protected
by the civil service laws. Frank HIATT on
and other influential Republicans demand
the retirement of Theodore Roosevelt.
There is nothing in the civil service laws
that demands an explanation for Il removal
Hendricks, from the day he entered the Of
flee as Collector of the Port, has had
frequent conferences with the local civil
service board. That board must not in any
way set up itself against Mr.. Hendricks, He
will conform to the laws, but he will not
permit the local civil service board to run
him. and neither will he permit Theodore
Roosevelt to play the high-muck-a-mucK,
and as for the special treasury agents and
their schemes, he will do what he thinks is
wise.
1t was even said that Collector Hendricks
was now powerful enough to suggest any
changes at the appraisers stores that may
be necessary.
