BOSS HANNA PAYS HIS DEBTS

Washington Dispatch TO New York Her
aid: The nomination by the president of
Henry Demas to be naval officer of Gus
toms for the District of New Orleans
concIusiyeIy proves that the promises
made by Senator Hanna 10 a trio of Re
publican leaders bn-Louisiana will be OBJ
served.
Protests and petitions from the better
element of the party have been unheeded,
ard the selection of DemaS comes as a
practical defiance of deeency and good
government.
There nave been few politicians of any
party mere familiar with the compact
made between Hanna, Cohen, Demas and
Wimberiy who believed that the president
would really have the hardihood TO make
these appointments, in utter disregard OF
the most shameful charges and aStOund-
ing allegations.
But Senator Hanna would take no ex-
culse.. His word had been given before
the ST. Louis convention 1laced Mr. Nc
K:niey az the head of the Republican
ticket. He demanded that the pledge be
kept. no matter how iemoraiizing its
effect upon the party or how shocking

1t is further stated IN the charges and
protests that Demas conspired Erfth VIM
berly and others to sell the Republican
vote of the legislature to the Louisiana

ton Wimberly was removed from Office
by President Harrison.
1t is also averred that IeemaS was the

some time ago that the trio were 10 be
appointed and made personal remon-
strances. Letters, kilograms and petit
tons from men and women, irrespective
of party. poured into the treasury depart-
ment and went on file against these men.
1t was then believed that the tide was too
strong for them to stem.
At this juncture Senator Hanna again
came to the surface over his own sig
nature gave these men letters of introduc-
ton to cabinet officers, with the plain
statement that he would later recommend
them for the offices they were to receive.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1897-09-12

As a last resort the women of New Or
leans appealed to Mrs Gage, wife of the
secretary, and sent a committee here to
urge the exertion Of her influence TO pre-
vent these appointments. especially that
of Wimberly.
At this time Senator Hanna said ne
would not recede from his position Re
ferring to the ante-election work in
Louisiana and the part taken by these
men, he said: These men were the only
men we could look to for assistance, and
