Every day the announcements from the
heads of the departments in Washin gton
show that Republican officials are being
removed or are resigning and democrats
are heing appointed TO take their places.
Ii the democrats of New Jers ey have
kept tab on these daily bulletins. as your
correspondent has, they will certainly
nave noticed one thing:
1t is very rarely That any Democrat
from New JERSEY gets q place.
Iu order to learn just what this admin
istration was doing for New Jersey. your
correspondent has made Il round OF the
appointing offices OF the various depart
menrs. The result will open the eyes of
the Democrats who think, and rightly.
that they are entitled to some recogni-
tion.
FEW TREASURY PLACES.
Take, first of all, the Treasury depart
meut. Secretsry Carlisle has under bis
dispensation some eignty-hve chiefs OF
divisions, besides au army OF custom
house employees, inspectors, messengers,
laborers. TO say nothing OF the heats OF
important bureaus. Since the 4th CT
March there rave been over three hum
dred appointments TO places directly
under the Secretary. How many has
New Jersey received? Only seven.
OF these seven places Que is OF impo IT
ance-the Supervising Architect of the
Treasury, VINO gets 81. 500 a year, and
whose private secretary is also acc redited
to the Sfnte. This leaves i've other
places which have been filled n the
majority OF them are for messengers aud
minor places. paying less than a Thousand
dollars a year. That is the record In the
Treasury Department.
Is IL any better in the Interior Depart
ment? On the contrary the showing is
even worse.
A SLIM TRIO FROM NEW JERSEY.
The Secretary of the Interior has an
enOrm amoun of patronage. His de-
partment is tull of divisions over which
chiefs preside, aud then he has registers
aud receivers to appoint for and offices,
inspectors in the Indian and land service
10 name, aud many other offices to fill in
connection with the government OF the
territories.
"How many appointments have been
made in the Ir&erior Department since
the fourth of March?n l asked MIR. Dan
tfeIs, the Appointment Clerk.
"Two hundred and twenty." he replied,
.'of which about fifty were Presidential.
~ many are credited to New DER
"Uhtil a day or two ago." be answered,
New Jersey has only received TWO
places-an assistant messenger at $40
and q laporer at $500. Sinee then, how
ever, a New Jersey man has been ap-
pointed to a chief of division"
do you ever see n of the New Jersey
Congressman"
Very rarely. Mr.. Dunn has been in
once or twice looking after a 81, 800 place
for someone in whom he Is Interested"
NONE IN H POST OFFICE DEPARTMENT.
When you correspondent went to the
Post Office Department-an Office where
there is also a great deal of PATRONAGE
the record there capped the climax. OF
all the appointments which have been
made in that Observation-Disclosures OF

welcome him to a place in the depart
ment.

partments. The places are being dis
