after the wholesale dismissals the head

democrats under the classified list have
been pushed up within classification.

One of the republican members of the
senate committee on finance, who had
much to do with the preparation of the
Mckinley bill, assures your correspond

publican senators and those leaders upon
the democratic side who will control the
