Gresham in 1893.

Judge E. c. Field, Of Indiana. who was a
delegate to the republican convention in
1885 is the authority for the statement that
Judge Gresham repudtsted high protection
at that time. and that the reputation prob
ably cost him the presidential nomination.
There was some doubt in the minds of the
| delegates, up to the time of the assembling
| Of the convention, and even after ward, as
to the judges position on protection,
| and it was deemed advisable to have
the Chicago Inter Ocean publish an
editorial affirming that he was In lire
with the party on that score. Judge
Field was one Of three gentlemen who pre-
vailed upon the editor of the paper to write
the article deemed necessary. It was in
strong language, and left no loophole for
doubt that Judge Gresham was as ardent
protectionist as Nelson W. Aldrich
himself. After it had been put in type
the editor said TO Judge Field: "Of
course you have seen the judge and
obtained his consent to this publication. "
Judge Field had not. but said he and his
friends would vouch for his approval of it,
THAT won't do" replied the editor. II
guess you don't know Gresham very we'll "
The gentlenen then posted of to hnd the
judge and obtain his consent. They found
him in bed, and read the article to him.
There was pause for moment, and the
judge said: Il appreciate your friendship,
and the good offices you are performing in
my behalf, but, President or no President,
you cannot publish that editorial by my au-
thority, because l do not believe in it. 1t is
better that should not be nominated thar
to commit myself TO that doctrine"
Notwithstanding this the high protection.
lists continue to claim that Judge Gresham
was a member of their party up to last
October, and that he is, as a matter of fact
a republican still.

"Harriaon. 1892"

A Washington dispatch OF recent date
stated that considerable packing up was
going on at the white house. preparatory to
the Presidents taking his departure for In
dianRpolis Immediately after Mr. Cleve-
lands inauguration. Among the things
being packed were mentioned books,
small articles OF furniture, bric-a-
brac, otc., But no mention was anywhere
made Of one complete set OF decorated china,
imported from France. It is known TO be
emblazoned with the American flag and
marked, Harrison, 1892"
1t will be remembered that a
year or SO ago. during the intense
republican fight, nominAllY in behalf Of
the infant pottery industries Of America,
which, 1. was alleged, could produce table
ware equal in appearance to anything that
Limoges or Sevres could turn out, an elegant
ly decorated set was ordered from France
for the white house table. When the set ar
rived it was put on exhibition at a Wash
ington china shop, and writer's for the press
reveled In it for months. The intensely
blue rims Of the plates, the glowing red in
the coat Of arms, the size and shape OF the
white stars, and other markings. we're de-
scribed until the whole country beheld those
beautiful dishes in its minds eye-especially
the legend Harrison, 1892"
Now, what is to be the fate Of those plates
and cups aud sauoersl To be sure they are
not 10 be left at the white house. Mr..
Cleveland will not want them. He will need
no such reminder Of the name Of his prede-
cessor. He could refer to any newspapers

Gen. Harrison should take that crookery
to indianapolis with him and distribute it
among his family and friends. Then, II new
crockery should be needed for the white
house, let Mr.. Cleveland order it. But, for
propriety's sake, don't mark it Cleveland,

- Adnninistration NIthou. FrilIs.

An Administration Withou. Frils.
The impression is being given out by
those close to Mr.. Cleveland that the in
coming administration is going 70 be an
administration ithout frills or fur bellows
that is, it is going to attend strictly TO bust
ness. The kind OF men Mr.. Cleveland Is
calling into his cabinet indicate this. AS
be 10 not much Of society man, neither he
nor the members of his cabinet will devote
any more time to social matters than is
absolutely necessary. and as Mr.. Cleveland
will not be a candidate for another term it
is probable that comparatively little time
will be given to personal politics.
Mr.. Cleveland has given the country
some surprises in his cabinet selections and
it is not at all improbable that he will fur
nish some more surprises in his distribution
OF the patronage. If he strives TO make his
administration a business one he will look
for business men to fill the offices in his
gift There is also a suspicion that be will
not be in a hurry to turn out republicans
who have given satisfaction in the admins
tration Of their offices. In that event be
will cause a great deal of dissatisfaction.
The truth is, however, the number Of OFF,
ces at the disposal Of the incoming admins
tration is comparatively small outside of
the postoffices. Many thousands Of gov
eminent places are now under the civil
service rules and can be obtained only by
competitive examination. In all the depart
ments at Washington only those who hold
the principal places can be removed except
for cause. Already there are hundreds of
applications for each one OF them. There
are going to be a good many disappointed
people soon after March 4.
The politicians have never liked Mr..
Cleveland. 1t remains to be seen whether
he can continue to hold the regard Of those
be calls the plain people" His confidence
in his ability to do 80 is unimpaired.

The way Mr.. Cleveland has gone about
making up his cabinet and announcing the
names Of his secretaries as fast as chosen
has astonished the republicans. They think
the public should never be token into the
confidence OF the President-elect on that
subject; that the names of the future secre-
taries should be submitted to the Senate
first and the public afterward. That has
been the custom heretofore, and Mr.. Cleve.
lands departure from it now makes pre-
cedent which the masses will appreciate.
There has always been too much secrecy
and red tape about executive nominations.
