January The notices to this effect were re.
ccived yesterday. They were sent from
Helena, Mont. tho present abiding place Of
Mr. Carter.
Those who received tho notices declined TO

Hon. sam Fessenden of Connecticut was at
tho Holman House. He defined TO speak Of
the meeting He was surprised to learn that
Mr. Cnrtor's notice had leaked out W. J.
Campbell OF Chicago has been In town within
the last few days All that he would say was
that he had expected to hear from MIR. Carter.
1t was ascertained that Mr.. Carter and his
brethren are to meet for tho purpose OF 60.

publicans. which Is interested in maintaining
n Republican majority In the United States
Senate. For n week or moro after election

United States Senators. gave out that they
wanted the Democrats to have the Senate:
that they would not lift their hands to have 1t
otherwise. and they talked in eighteen differ

trouble is at hand has caused anxiety and pre-
cipitated demands for protection upon In
Iuential Republicans.
1t is curious to note that some CT those weak
Republican brethren have called attention to
the i'm portance OF Secretary Charles Foster OF
the Treasury Department as political factor
In the effort to screen themselves. They
point out that with all the Treasury
patronage at his back he was not
able to control single delegate from
Ohio at the Minneapolis Convention. Gov.
Nick nley voted for Harrison's denomination
purely as n matter Of courtesy. The remain
Ing Ohioans voted solidly for Mckinley. tbs
n matter OF record. say some OF the Repubn.
can critics. that President Harrison while at
Ophir Farm last summer admitted that no
had drawn a blank in Secretary Foster"
This and other stories were circulated yes.

inspectors should be allowed to remain in
comfortable berths until the Cleveland Admin
ist-ation turns them out ..
Secretary Fosters friends in New York. ON
the other hand. said that he was doing every.
thing possible to cut down tho expenses OF the
Government, In view OF the deficiency of the
United States Treasury.
Friends OF the special inspectors sneered
and said that the removals would save at the
most only about $25. OOO q drop in the bucket
To put 1t very plainly. certain Republicans be.
liove that some OF their brethren at Washing
ton arc bent upon getting square with somo-
body.
There Is Just about three months remaining
for such business. and during that time add.

OF crushed Republicans.
