OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON, April IL, 1893.

Tammany tiger with official pap, and the
promises he made to Murphy, Sheehan
and Croker, at that memorable ante |
election dinner in New York are to be |
kept. When Senator Murphy and
Lieut.. Governor Sheehan called at the |
White House to arrange date for agree
ing upon the individuals who are to fill
the offices allotted to Tammany some
people were surprised as they had
taken up the idea that because the anti
snappers were being taken care OF Tam.
many was to be snubbed. Not SO. Hill
is to be snubbed, has already been un
mercfully suubbed in the distribution OF
federal patronage in his State, outside of
New York City, but the Tammany prom
ses are to be lived up to, and this week
Murphy and Sheehan are to meet Mr..
Cleveland to arrange the slate. 1t is
not surprising that Mr.. Cleveland should
have considered it necessary to go away
for two or three days, absolute rest be-
foro tackling this job.
Attorney General Olney, although said
to be a good lawyer, has none of the tact
in dealing with politicians which is so
| necessary for member of the cabinet to
have il he wishes to escape becoming
unpopular. The most influential Demo-
cratic Senator or Representative is treat
ed with the coolest and most indifferent
courtesy if he calls on Mr.. Olney without
an endorsement, oral or written, from
somebody fortunate enough to enjoy the
priceless boon Of his acquaintance. Nat
urally enough the Democrats do not like
this sort of treatment. Within the
memory of many men now in public life
there was another Attorney-General from
Massachusetts-Mr. Hoar, who was in
General Grants cabinet-who had Mr..
Olney's knack of offending his political
callers by not treating them as they
thought themselves entitled to be treated
and the result n,ght be proitably studied
by Mr.. Olney General Grant nominated
Attorney. General Hoar to vacancy
on the Supreme Court, and was greatly
surprised when informed that he could
take his choice betweea Withdrawing the
nomination or having it unanimously re.
: iected. It was withdrawn.
After what had been said about Mr..
Cleveland's intentions, by those near him,
the appointment Of Judge William Loeb
rem, of Minnesota, to be Commissioner o.
Pensions, was very pleasant surprise t.
! Republicans, who generally feared thu
Q selection of some man who had not beer
in the army at all. Judge Lochren wa

Q of the Pension Bureau. the interests O
s his soldier comrades will be safe. But
10 if some Democrats OF influence kno,
d what they are talking about, he isn't
a have his own way, but is merely to follo'
g without the slightest deviation lines lai
down by Mr.. Cleveland for the govern
, ment of that bureau. Well. we sha
- go ON see, as he assumes Office about til
. FIRST of May.
