The Transfer of Taylor.
Mr.. g. W. Fremont, colored attorney.
was at the White House one day last
week, and In a talk with Secretary Thurber
said, as a colored democrat, and man
who had always stood by Taylor, that for
the best good of the party he thought 1t
would be a good thing for Taylor to be
transferred In conversation with re-
porter of The Star today he said:
II have always been with the Taylor
faction Of colored democrats. and sup
ported him in his fight for the Bolivian
mission. 1 went into the fight as a demo-
him. It takes great deal to make me
change my estimate of man with whom
have been associated politically. but l
stated to Mr.. Thurber that I thought 1t
would be the best thing for every one il
Taylor could be transferred. 1t is certain
that his presence here is now absolutely
distasteful to both white and colored demo-
Gratis. Whether 1t is his fault or not, the
fact still remains
LAS democrat want to see Taylor sue
coed, and ! would do nothing to turn
democrat down. But Taylor has made
mistake in selecting his friends and ad-
visers, and in a few days the public will
know that this statement is made without
malice when the man closest to him will
coolly tell all he knows about him as an
official. During the recent trial a great
deal could have been proven which would
have injured the democratic party on Tay
lor's account, but those colored democrats
in possession of the facts would not allow
them TO be made public.
Il was always opposed to any man being
appointed as a recorder of deeds unless he
was a resident of the District of Columbia,
and still hold to these views"

transferred?
Il am informed by those in authority to
know that Taylor made the request him.
self, and that the letters of Mr.. Astwood
and Pulies were simply given out as a
blind. / am confident some change will be

do you know whether the matter has
been discussed officially?"
81 will leave that for others to answer.
The only point desire stated Is that Tay-
Tor suggested his own transfer.
