MCPHERSON TALKS.
A Meeting of the Jersey Con-
gressiona1 Delegation to
Be Held Soon.
Special to The Jerseg City Ne,cs.

WASHINGTON. D. c., Jan 25 1904
meeting of the New Jersey delegation In
Congress will be held in Washington
some time before the fourth of March, at
which the question of the distribution OF
patronage will be fully discussed. The
fact thata few days ago member of the
delegation received from Senator Nc
Pherson letter which had been sent TO
the latter applying for the postmaster
snip OF a city in the Representative dis
trict, has led to the belief in the delega-
tion that the Congressmen would control
the patronage of their respective districts.
Senator Mcpherson spoke freely to the
correspondent on the subject this after
noon. Eight years ago." he said,
when Mr.. Cleveland first entered the
White House, we had an agreement IN
our delegation that each Congressman
should make the appointments in his
district, even of the officials who are
commonly called Presidential appoint
ments. Preserved TO myself the districts
represented In Congress by Republicans,
but even in these cases ] always referred
the selection OF an appointee to the Demo
cratic County Com mittee or some other
recognized authority. l found out from
the blue book just how many post offices,
for instance, Lnere were in each county,
and sent the Information TO the Demo-
cratic leaders, a king them to pick out
proper men for postmasters. / think in
every followed their suggestions"
"How did the plan work."
Most admirably. 1t prevented fric-
tion and, so far as the Congressman were
concerned, invested them with a degree
of responsibility ,that otherwise they
wouN NOT have felEn
"Wili the same plan be carried out
during the approaching Administrations?
That will be matter to be decided
upon when the delegation confers, as it
will 90 inaQe time. It Is true that the
same conditions do not prevail now as in
1884, for than the Democrats only had
four Congressional districts, and l had a
Republican colleague. Now we have six
districts. and I have Democratic col
league. You may say, however, that 1t
will be my wish that every appointment
asked at the hands of Mr.. Cleveland shall
be based uppH the thorough and harmon
ious agreem eut of the entire delegation"
The inference drawn from the Senator's
remarks was that the plan of 1884 would
be followed again this year, in which case
the Congressman from each district will
he the sole arbfters of the appointment.
have talked with several of the New
JERSEY members, and they do not seem to
shrink from the responsibility.
An effort Is being made to secure the
appointment of john f. Smith, of Pater-
son, N. j., as marshal of the New Jersey
division of the Inauguration parade. Mr..
Smith is a handsome, broad-shouldered
man, and is member of the Assembly.
1t is understood That he will be ap-
poin ted.

Importance to Jersey City. and should be
passed at once.

Importance TO Jersey lily, and shoulu p'
passed at ouce.
GLAD TO BIZ RID OF IT.
Mr. Kelly, Of Union, member OF ths
committee. said that under the urgent
circumstances he was perfectly willing
that the com mittee should be relieved Of
the bill.
Mr.. O'Brien of Morris, Chairman Of
the Committee, said the same thing.
This brought Mr.. Hutchinson to his
prised that members OF a committee
should get up and express a willingness
to be discharged from the consideration
of bill. They were generally found
fighting to retain bills in their possession,
IL looked as # they We're anxious TO get
rid of the bill.
Mr.. Lane replied that the measure was
one whose passage was demanded by the
exigencies of. the case. II the DILL was
not passed at once. 1t could not reach the
Governor aud go into forcs until next
week.
FILIBUSTERING.
Then the Repu 5licans began obstruc-
tiop. Mr.. Holmes moved an amendment
to the effect that the term OF the appoint
ment should be at the pleasure of the
Board appointing.
MIR. Lane thought il any officer should
have fixed term it was the important
one of q city's legal officers. Mr.. Hutch
inson made long speech to show That, II
the Board OF Finance was good enough to
make the appointment, 1t should be good
enough to fix the term.
Mr.. Salinger spoke in the same vein.
Mr.. Holmes amendment was lost. He
then offered another to the effect that
the act should be submitted to a vote OF
the people before it became operative.
Mr.. Ross, Republican,, of Cape May,
moved that the amendment he laid upon
the table whish would carry the bill with
it. Mr.. Hutchinson made a long speech
in favor of Mr.. Ross's motion, but it was
voted down.
The discussion was then continued on
Mr.. Holmes last amendment. Mr..
Salinger made long speech, the burden
of which was that as the Democratic
charter of 1889 was submitted to the peo-
pie. this ought to be submitted also.
Mr.. Holmes second amendment was
lost and then Mr.. Hutchinson in vain
moved. TO postpone. Mr. Studer, Repub-
Iican of Essex, then spoke against the
Republicans further wasting the time of
the House. The Democrats were deter
mined to pass the bill and the 81 Repub
licans could not outvote the SO Democrats.
Their only hope lay in the Governor VINO,
he thought. would not sign the bill.
The bill was then passed. IL Will go to
the Senate tomorrow when the Commit
tee on Passed Bills of that body will take
it to the Governor.
