St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1893-09-18


A st. Paul Republican evening paper
Saturday night published what pur-
ported to be a telegram from its Wash
1ngtOn correspondent in which il was
alleged that Mr.. Doran no longer had
any influence with the president. 1t
was also intimated that several APP
pOintments which he had recommended
had been chung up"
A number of influential Democrats of
Minneapolis have been seen by GLOBE
reporter. They all secuted the idea
that Mr.. Doran had lost his influence
with the president and denied that he
had Extensively interfered in Minneap-
oils appointments. c. II. FOote said:
al don't think there is any foundation
for the statements, and do not DelleVe
there is any trouble between Mr.. Doran
and the president, nor between MI. DO
ran and Mr.. Hall. The president has the
utmost confidence in Mr. DOran, and he
so told me when | was in Washington,
saving that Doran had never deceived
him, | don't think Mr.. DoTan is trying
to dictate all of the appointments. and
so far the men have been appointed who
had the best ecmmendatlons.H lie has not
made an appointment from here With
out consulting The committee and party
leaders. | do not think it is his lnten-
ton to interfere with the pOStoflce
matter. So far all the postotfice ap-
pointments made in this county nave
been on the recommendation OF the
Democratic committee"
j. w. Henlon said: ''In my Judgment
the article does not amount to anything,
and Mr.. Doran is as close to the ad-
ministratiOn as ever. There has been
no change in this respect so far as l am
aware, and | see no reason why there
should be. So far as the APP
Dointment of the district attorney
collector and marshal are concerned.
there has been no more than the usual
delay. These are matters that always
take time to settle anyway. Ii we mad
our own senator and representative IL
might be different. There Is really less
trouble now than there was under the
Republicans four years ago. Somebody
has got to engineer and dictate the ap-
polntments, and it may as we'll be Mr..
Doran as anybody"
Hon. Matt. Gallagher said: "As to
what truth there may be i'll the article,
] am not id position TO form all 0pln-
ION. As citizen of Minneapolis, how
ever, l understand that Mr.. Doran has
taken the position, so far as the import
ant Office OF postmaster is concerned,s save
that it should be lett entirely to the
expression of preference given by The
business men and democracy OF Mime
neapolis. 1 his being true, cannot see
Why Minneapolis Democrats should not
be satisfied with MIR. Doran's course, as
this is position in which all citizens
are Interested in seeing filled 10y a COM
peIent man, and one who has the conf
deuce of the community"
NJ. Breslauer, president of the Tam
many club, said: eff any ohe thinks
that MI. Doran has not got influence
with the president just let him
try TO secure position with
out Mr.. Doran's influence, and
he will soon find out where he
stands. In my opinion, MIR. Doran is as
slrOng with the administration as ever,
and, so far as local matters are coll
cerned. heard him say that lie would
not interfere. He advised harmony, anu
SAID that the pOstotlice matter should be
settled by the Intelligent Democrats of
Hennepin county"
