AIMS OF THE PRESIDENT.
Three Important Measures TO Be
Put to the Front.

He Favors Big Gut in the Tariff,
Tax on Incomes, and Repeal of the
Tax on Banks and the Sherman
Law-No Change In the Marshalship
Fight.
Washington, May PA number of the
cabinet people and their wives and daugh-
ers accompanied the Spanish Princess Eu-
lalie on visit to Mount Vernon to-day,
but the President devoted the morning to
congressional callers, who are not talking
tariff or free silver, but who want offices
for their constituents. Those few with
whom Mr.. Cleveland had talked on gem
eral public questions recently he has i'm
pressed with the idea that he is anxious
to unite the party as closely as possible; :;
that he recognizes that it is impossible
for the Democratic party TO
avoid the responsibility which
is imposed upon it for the
revision of the tariff and that he is anx-
ious to have an agreement on the financial
question and to have the party plans so
well laid before congress meets that a
record for positive and aggressive action
may be made during the first year of the
administration. There is no doubt in the
world that when congress meets he will
be found advocating very heavy cut in
the tariff, the adoption of an income tax
and the repeal of the tax on banks, to-
gether with the repeal of the Sherman
law.
THE GEORGIA MARsHALsHIP.
FTharo a m ou1yy
men in Washington nOw-Messrs. Living
ston, MattoX and TatG-and these are de-
voting most of their time to dispatch mat
terS. Messrs. Renfroe and Dunlap, can
dldates for the marshalship, are both
very active, but there has been no per-
ceptible change in the situation since last
nights report. Mr.. Dunlap's hackers are
confident that he will be able to beat Col.
Renfroe, but they regard, with appre-
hension, the wide open opportunity that
invites other men to enter the race, and
the temptation to any congressman to try
and win the prize for his district
Secretary Carlisle said to Judge Mat
tOX to-day that the appointment of Paul
Trammel to the collectorship resigned by
Walter Johnson had been definitely de-
termined upon, but that his commission
would not be issued until the present in
cumbent vacates the Office on July1. Mr..
overthrow of Jake Moore's chance for the
marshalship, as both Offices will not be
given to the Seventh district. Tomorrow
may develop something.
Ex-State Senator w. Orlando johnson
of Columbus has been appointed a special
deputy revenue collector and assigned to
duty under Collector Chapman of At
lanta. He succeeds to the place Willborn
Colquitt vacated when he was promoted
some weeks ago
Speaker Atkinson is still in the city
and does not speak definitely now of his
return to Georgia.
Solicitor Charlie Hill of Atlanta is here
and will accompany his mother, who is
an invalid, back to her Georgia home.
LIVINGSTON IN GOOD HUMoR.
Col, Livingston appeared in the Metro
politan hotel lobby tonight in great
humor. Tomorrow he expects to supply
the COnyers postotfice with postmaster,
and it won't be Weaver. Letters he re-
ceived by mail to-day contain papers that
may enable him to fire Postmaster Bush
from the COvington office. Mr. Bush
slipped into the CovingtOn job over the
cOloneps protest just before President
Harrison quilted the throne on the pre-
sumption that President Cleveland would
let him hold four years from the date of
his appointment. Commenting on the
marshalship race Mr.. Livingston ex-
pressed the opinion that Col. Renfroe and
Col. Dismul1e were both out of the race
and that some dark horse would be Sc
lected. When Col. Dunlap's chances were
mentioned he shook his head doubtfully
and said: ''Mebbe"
