The Atlanta constitution. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1885-19??, 1893-03-14

vindication to him and an emphatic asser-
ton that Mr.. Cleveland is on top in New
York state politics. TIE feelings 2cf ca. sol
ator Hill from the position of insurance
commissioner and the appointment of Sen
ator Pierce still abides with u.s., When
Cleveland was elected it was conceded that
no better headsman could :. be placed III
Maxwell. Mr.. Maxwell is, one. of the
shrewdest democratic politicians in New
York state. He knows it from the battery
to the st. Lawrence. He is bitter enemy
felt in that office before long. There will
soon be established strong Cleveland ma
chine in New York state. The way the
heads of the postmasterS III that stale VIII
fall into the basket will be q caution. The
influence of the petty postmaster in cracker
box and store-counter politics is very great
The next state convention will elect the
state committee and it is essential that
Cleveland delegates dominate in that con.
vention. You will find that majority of
the next New York state central committee
will be Cleveland democrats. AT present
d. Cody Herrick is the only out-and-out
Cleveland man on the committee.
The Kick Against Gray.
The original Cleveland democrats of In
diana are still kicking about the appointment
of eX-Goveruor Gray to the Mexican mis-
sion. Editor Shanklin and his followers
are bowling about the hotels and they
are being joined in their kicking by the
Wisconsin contingent, who were pressing
General Bragg.
But of all the mad people in Washington
Congressman Buck I<ilgore. of Texas, is
the maddest. He is simply red hot because
Mr.. Cleveland would not appoint him min
lister to Mexico. He has always been an
earnest Cleveland man and he wanted the
place and wanted it badly. When he
learned of the appointment of Gray he went
to the white house and told Mr.. Cleveland
frankly just how he felt, adding that he
did not want anything now He accuses
he is criticisng the Texas senator with the
vigor of a bucking bronco. He says Mills
told the president that it would not do
to appoint Texan to the Mexican mission
because Mills could not get it for one of
his constituents eight years ago. His char
actcrZation of Mills is in language that
would do full credit to the cowboy of red
back literature.
But it's all in life. The president who
makes one man happy by appointment makes
ten mad.
No Old Officers Need Apply.
Washington, March 1.-(SpeciaL) MIR.
Cleveland's rule not to appoint any of his
old office holders will be extended to all
branches of service. In the postofiice de-
partment in particular. the rule will be
observed and the civil service principle of
permitting postmaSters appointed for four
years to serve their full terms will govern
the postmaster general in all cases except
where grave charges or gross incompc-
toncy are proven
l. looks Liko Paul VIII Win.
The indications are that Paul Trammell
will be the next collector of revenue for
Georgia. Mr.. Cleveland's ruling about eX-
office holders removed Mr.. Crenshaw from
the contest Mr.. Trammell and Mr.. Oatis
made deal by which Mr.. Oats is to be
assistant, and now Mr. Trammel has the
endorsement of a majority of the Georgia
delegation, including Speaker Crisp and
Senator Gordon. Senator Colqut is still
urging the claim of his brother, MIR. Wei
born COlquitt, but nothing now can stay
the influences for Mr.. Trammel. The in
dications are that the other candidates will
retire and Mr.. Trammcll will win the race
in Il walk, so to speak. No more popular
man than Paul Trammell could have been
selected III the state. Everybody will be
satisfied. Mr.. Trammell will probably re-
ceiye the appointment to take effect on the
1st Of July though the term of Collector
Johnson does not expire until the LIST of
September. Mr.. Carlisle is DESTROYS that
all the new officers under the treasury de-
partmcnt should assume their duties with
the commencement of the new fiscal year.
The committees appointed to reorganize
the senate committees completed its labors
today. Senator ColQuitt is made chairman
of the committees on postOiiceS. Quite a
fight was made on the Georgia senator by
some of those who claim to have the in
terest of the president above all things.
They claimed against Senator Colquitt that
he had not always been loyal to MIR. Cleye-
land. and that none but the most loyal sub
ject should be placed at the head of this
committee which must report on all of
Mr. Cleveland's nominations of postmaS-
tiers. They also urge his bad health against
the appointment, but Senator Colquitt is
very popular in the senate, and his col
leagues made him chairman of this com
mittee over all protests. Senator Gordon
was made chairman of the committee on
coast defenSes.
