An Offensive Partisan.

WASHINGTON, March 31.-A delega-
ton of Virginians from Loudoun county,
headed by Representative Meredith, ap
peared before the commissioners Of the
District of Columbia this morning and
demanded the removal of Yardley T.
Brown, clerk in the auditors Office, Oh
on the ground that he is an offensive par
tissn. It was during the latter part of
President Harrison's administration that
Major Halford, the presidents private
secretary, urgently requested the cOm-
missioners to appoint Mr.. Brown. Sew
eral other prominent republicans inter
ested themselves in the matter, and one
day, upon motion of Commissioner
Douglas, Mr. Brown became District
employee. Mr.. Meredith, as soon
as the board had assembled, ex-
planned that the removal of Mr..
Brown was urgently asked by the demo-
Gratis of Loudoun. Brown, he said, runs
a republican newspaper known as the
Loudoun Telephone, and during Cleve
lands campaign of 1884 contained a
number of scurrillous articles against the
executive. The speaker handed the com
missioners several papers with marked
editorials. Mr.. Meredith explained that
if the commissioners paid no attention
to this matter he proposed to go to the
| President and have the man removed
The matter was informally discussed al
the meeting of the board, but as yet ne
definite action has been taken.
1t was reported that two more promi
nent foreign missions will be filled to
day. Mr.. Hannis Taylor, of Mobile
Ala, it is thought will fill the Spanisl
mission and John Van Allen, of New
York, the Italian mission.
