WASHINGTON. u. c.. April 22.-(spe-
cal)-lt IS quite apparent now that the
gold. or so-callod "sound-money' mon
who deserted the Democratic party and
supported Mckinley. either by voting FOR
him directly or indirectly. by voting for
Palmer and Buckner are no more in
favor with the administration than are
the slmon-pure. eX-Confederate. southern
Republicans. There has none of the lat
ter class been appointed TO any Office Of
distinction or cmolument by Mr. Mckin-
ley (and he has had hundreds OF appli-
cations and endorsements from them for
every position. from the Cabinet to a
clerkshipl. except J. w. Youngblood, OF
Alabama. who was appointed Auditor
Tor the Interior Department in the
Treasury. Il was a mistake to call
Colonel Buck, who was appointed a
consul. a Georgian. Although he halls
from that State. he is a Yankee. an ex-
Federal soldier who oarpet-bagged to
the Empire state Of the south at the
close Of the war. and this accounts for
his appointment by Mckinley.
Now, the gold" men in the depart
mcnts are trembling in their shoes one
by one they are being deoapitated, and
the axe IS actively az work on fresh
victims every day. SO far. the silver
people. who honestly voted their party
ticket. att updisturbed, but on all sides
the poor "goldhugs" are removed and
reduced with the greatest rapldty. First
Assistant Postmastcr-Gencral Frank II.
Jones. was an active Democratic sup
porter of Mckinley. though he may have
voted for Palmer and Buckner. and he
thought he would he retained. as he was
a warm friend Of Senator Palmers.
But ne had to go, and he was quickly
followed by Second Assistant Postmas-
ter-Gencral Charles Nelson another
colibue who supported Mckinley by
means Of the Indianapolis ticket. Next
came Fourth Assistant-known as 1.-THE
headsman' Maxwell. but his own turn
came and of went his head. under the
Mckinley axe. specially reserved for the
Democratic deserving goldites. Others are
sharing the same fate in the different
departments. and IL is notable that no
appointments Of gold men are being
made from the South. or from anywhere
else. for that matter.
