Good Democrats Think Well of tho Ad'
ministration Of Harrison.
Ner York Tribune
One thing which impresses political
observers in Washington is the marked
difference between the opinions ex-
pressed by Democrats in regard to the
officials and official acts of the last ad-
miuistration, and the opinions ex-
pressed by them eight years ago in re-
gard to the officials and official acts oil
the preceding Republican administra-
ton. A good illustration Of this differ
ence was furnished by Representative
Sayers, OF Texas, OF the appropriations
committee, and chairman OF the sub
committee having charge OF the depart
mental appropriations, in recent con-
versaIion with Tribune correspondent.
Among other things, he said;
president Cleveland will not easily
find three men who will administer the
affairs OF the internal revenue bureau,
the government printing office and the
bureau Of engraving and printing with
greater ability, efficiency and honesty
than the men who are now in charge OF
them. As member OF the committee
ON appropriations, have enjoyed ex'
cellept opportunities to observe the
management OF those offices, and do
not feel that can praise it too highly
regard Commissioner Mason, Public
Printer Palmer and Superintendent
Meredith as officials OF the highest
type, and / shall be glad, indeed, ii
President Cleveland is able to replace
them with officers who will maintain
tho present high standard of efficiency"
"Are you going to recommend THAT
they be retained" asked another Dem
ocratiC Congressman who heard Con-
gresham Savers remarks,

peat to President Cleveland what !
have Just said, and l sincerely hope
that he will retain the services OF these
faithful otEicera until he is sure that no
can ill the offices with equally good
men," was the prompt and emphatic
reply.

Such case as that OF Col. Shepard
is very rare, yet it is frankly admitted
that ether sometimes causes death, as
under like circumstances another amos

into consideration, however, how few OF

The Real ControlIng Power.

Tho Washington correspondent OF
the Pittsburgh Dispatch gives this in
formation OF great interest 10 West
Virginians;
Il Is understood that the President has de.
coded that he will not cal! Senator Faulkner, OF
West Virginia, from the senate 10 sit upon the
new court This conclusion IL said TO have been
reached ut recent conference between the
President and Representative William LWilson'
Senator Faulkner was thought to
have been slated for one OF the COM
Portable life memberships Of tho new
court OF appeals OF the District of Co.
lumbia. The understanding was that
the President would be glad to please
Senator Faulkner in this matter ii by SO
doing he could make place for his
friend Wilson in the United States SEN
ate.
Mr.. Wilson must have become con-
WINGED OF what everybody at home has
we'll understood, that he has not a
ghost OF show to BIO appointed to sue
coed Senator Faulkner. More than
this he must have learned that Joe
Chiffon is on file for any vacancy in the
senate which Governor MacCorkle may
have to ill.
With this much at hand it is allowa-
BILE to infer something more, and the
we'll regulated Imagination may picture
Mr.. Wilson as saying to the President
that on the whole it will DO better to
leave Senator Faulkner where he is and
MIR. Chiffon where he is. Mr.. Wilson
is not an admirer Of Mr.. Chilton's style
OF craftsmanship.
The most important feature OF all this
is that the Hon. William l. Wilson is
shown to be closer to the president than
any other West Virginian, The Presi-
dent admires his ability and has abso-
Lutte confidence in his honesty and his
personal loyalty.
With regard to West Virginia matters
Mr.. Wilson is the real power with the
administration. All the rOst put to
gether are not equal to this quiet gen.
tleman from the beautiful county OF
Jefferson. 80
