The opinion expressed by Senator
Pugh that removals from office under
the incoming administration Will be-
| few and slowly made Is shared by many
Democratic senators aud representatives
| ana rs getting 30 be a frequent topic of
discussion among them They object 20
such policy, but they do not associate
| II exclusively with the reported purpose
of Mr.. Cleveland 10 employ it to secure
support in legislative matters. They be-
lleve him sincere In his desire To give
the country Il good busine, ndmiuisra-
ton md In his belief that this may be
greatly Forwarded bg keeping expcricnc-
ed men in Office, but They are inclined TO
resist the application of the policy, and
prefer the different course of filling all
places promptly with members OF the
victorious party.
Bearing ON the same subject the star
Of today, a strong Cleveland paper says:
while the talk of making an open
fight against the nomination of Gresham
for the cabinet has about died ont and
Democrats as a rule refuse TO discuss the
cabinet situation publicly there is an
intense feeling under the surface, and
some OF the most conservative men In
both branches of congress express the
opinion privately that there Is going 20 be
a bitter antagonisn between Mr.. Cleye-
land and the rank and file of the Demo
Gratis In congress after he gets into the
White house. A strange thing about
this is that a great deal Of
this quiet talk comes from mon
who have heretofore been ranked
as Cleveland men. There Is no doubt
that the steel has gone deep into them
aud while they are trying TO keep 10
straight face and conceal their pain un.
der an assumed Indifference, they feel a
mortal wound. The Morrison men are
1 alt
ting turned down, and while q few of
them still cling 10 the hope that Gresham
may be credited 10 Indiana aud M0rri-
son yet De given a place, most Of them
do not entertain this hope for a minute
and are very bitter in their expressions
privately. They do not pretend to ac-
count for Mr.. Wizards influence with
9 Mr. Cleveland but they cling 10 the be
, lief that IL is on account of Wizards
opposition to Morrison that he is not 10
go into the cabinet They say
that the turning down of Morrison and
the appointment Of Gresham is going
10 play the mischief with the Demo
cratic party in Illinois, aud that II will
be q very hard fight 10 hold the advantage
they gained M the last election in that
state. There is still hnlf-heurted fight
being made TO get old-time Democrats Ia
4 important places 10 be filled. and the as
sertion is very general that II Mr. Cleye-
[ | with the Democrats IN congress he had
I better get some influence with them.
4 | Carlisle's appointment Is very satistac-
: tory to them. but lac IL only one man.
and they say that enc swallow does not
make spring, This talk does not appear
10 be for the purpose of booming amy
i | particular man or 10 force any one par
+ ticulary. but, on the contrary, there
q appears to be q growing indifference
: whether Mr.. Cleveland tries 10 put
himself In touch with the rank Of the
party 1t is rather Il cold statement of
, what they believe the situation 20 be
and a prediction Of the consequences,
Tbe feeling Is that if Mr. Cleveland ii
rot willing TO place his reliance in the
regular stnlwart Democrats and % try
and strengthen the party and hold ~
n together there rs no reason why they
should make any sacrifice In order To
get closer TO hun With this feeling
II other cabmet selections announced
do not relieve il 10 some degree, there
will be very slight prospect Of
n any silver legislation which does
Il not agree with the popular view M
n congress. The assertion is made that
p Il men are 10 be placed m

Il executive IL win be very much better q
y select men for such service who arc
s. recognized as colleagues aud brother,
p by Democrats of long service and VII
Rave influence with them, Whether
(. this feeling is justified or whether y
l, will last or not, there N no doubt that
b, il is very general &C this time. VIA
