mife MI woodward very much. and would

proved Mr.. Woodward's appointment when
IL Was announced. regarding IL as particu-
larry appropriate under the circumstances
ana as the selection of all eminently well
Qualified man. But nc one, I think could
be preferable TO Mr.. l. y The fact is /
mentioned him last * the proper
man Tor the place wi there was some
gossip about Mr.. Woo trds declination"
Attorney Frederick J. McKcnney-"I
know Mr.. Bell very eli, and look upon
ms selection as one of the very best which

better man selected as inaugural chairman
than Mr.. Bell He is a man of gracious
and pleasant manners. of fine executive
ability and in every way shape ard man
ner is eminently fitted for the position"
Mr.. c. w. Howard-'I regard the ap-
pointment as one CT the best that could
have been made. There is certainly 10
better man in Washington than Mr.. Bell
Judge kimball-"An excellent selection
The fact that he has brought the Ameri-
can Security and Trust Company to the
front among the local banks shows some
thing of his ability. He is financer and
man of executive ability, ami the in
auguratlon under his management will GER
tainly he success
Mr.. Jesse Wilson-"Two better men for
the work would be hard to find. Mr..
Woodward is wise. l think, with his i'm
rIense private business. to decline to take
upon himself the burdens of managing an
Inauguration. L know something of that
personally. Mr.. Bell will prove an excel
lent chairman"
W lllidn ID. MckneW-''l regret the pub
!icity given TO Mr.. Woodwards politics and
the question raised against him that
score. There was no necessity for it, and /
should have been glad 10 have had him con-
duct the inaugural demonstration to d close
with the hearty and substantial support he
W ould have been sure to command. Mr..

behind him that element of Washingtons
business men which will help him 10 make
a great success of the Inauguration.
Mr. Emmons Smith-"Right. Mr.. Wood
ward has already got all there is for him
in the appointment-the honor of ii. All
the rest is work I told Mr.. Woodward the
merchants of Washington would back him
with all their might. but he better resign
and let some body else do the work. Mr..
Rcll is a good man for the place and he can
be trusted to make a success CT it,.
Manager Mess OF the A6ams Express
Company-'Both Mr.. Woodward and MIR.
Bell are good men. Mr.. Woodward has
capped a heavy task. and Mr.. Bell will per-
form the duties of chairman spiendidly He
has excellent executive ability and will be
generously supported
Mr.. Seaton Perry-.'I am sorry 10 hear
Mr. S. W. Woodward has resigned. but in
asmuch he declines to serve l heartily
approve of Mr.. Chas. J. Bells appointment
as chairman of the inaugural committee"
