Thomas Campbell indicted into the

EcKELs STANDS FIRM.
Will Not Permit Any Changes In His
Ufic;ut fOpcc.

A Washington dispatch says: Comp
troller Eckels has given several gentlemen
who have applied for reinstatement as
clerks and bank examiners in his bureau
to understand that he will not permit any
changes to be made In his force IL he can
prevent IL while he remains in office. In
asmuch as MIR. Eckels has u year TO serve.
the place hunters who have an eye on his
bureau are much disgruntlcd and are try
ing TO raise an issue between him and
Secretary Gage over the arrangement Of
the clerical force. Thus far. however.
they have failed and there have been mo
signs of friction ip that quarter. The
hope of the place hunters Is that MIR. Eek
els may permit himself to be irritated to
the point Of resgning rather than submit
to interference with his clerical force. He
has several offers of outside employment
that will pay him more than he is now
receiving. but he has n pride In staying
to the end of his five years term-next
April--aud Is not likely to permit himself
TO be trapped into resigning TO crafty the
spoilsmen. II can be said with truth that
there Is no disposition on the part Of either
the President or Secretary Gage 10 dis.
turb Comptroller Eckels or 10 interfere In
his administration of the affairs of his
office. He Is practically the only relic Of
the Cleveland reign with whom this I'D
ministration appears to be in sincere sym.
