Washington, Apr. 10, 1892.
Mr.. Cleveland is going to feed the
Tammany tiger with official pap, and
the promises he made to Murphy She
han and Croker, at that memorable
ante election dinner in New YORK are
to be kept. When Senator Murphy
and Lieut.. Gov. Sheehan called at the
White House to arrange date Tor
agreeing upon the individuals who
are to fill the offices allotted to Tam
many some people were surprised, as
they had taken up the idea that be-
cause the anti-snappers were being
taken care of Tammany was to be
snubbed, has already been unmerc1-
fully snubbed in the distribution of
federal patronage in his state, OUTSIDE
of New York City, but the Tammany
promises are to be lived up to, and this
week, Murphy and Sheehan are to
meet Mr.. Cleveland to arrange the

and without Senator HIPS assistance
The nomination of Mr.. Eckels, of Ill,
to be comptroller of currency was such
a manifestly unfit one that it has been
hung up by the senate committee on
finance, and Mr.. Cleveland has been
requested by the democratic members
of that committee to withdraw it, but
up to this writing he has not done so,
and his stubbornness is SO we'll known
that it is hardly expected that he will.
The democratic senators may back
down, vote to reject or adopt the
s'sneak act'' and adjourn without act
ing upon the nomination.
After what had been said about Mr..
Cleveland's intentions, by those near
him, the appointment Of Judge VIM.
Lochren of Minnesota to be commits
sioner of pensions, was a very pleas
ant surprise to republicans, who gen
orally feared the selection Of some
man who had not been in the army at
all. Judge Lochren was brave SOL
der. and if he is allowed to have his
wav in conducting the business of the
pension bureau, the interest Of his SOL
der comrades viii be safe. But, if
some democrats of influence knew
what they are talking about he isn't
to have his own way, but is merely to
follow without the slightest deviation
lines laid down by Mr.. Cleveland for
the government of that bureau. Well,
we shall soon see, as he assumes OF
fee about the first Of May.
