Capt. Goddard. who was also o candi-

sired to be made Collector Of the Port
himself. The relations between Collector

pleasant since Capt. Goddard was made
Rsuublican leader OF the Twentieth dis

President Roosevelt was told by the
u~p-oountry Republicans, who desired to

spesk up for Collector Bidwell, President
Roosevelt and Mr.. Gibbs are very ldpohtical
friends. President Roosevelt Is very FOND
Of paintings and black-and-whites n
Art objects, and Mr., Gibbs is a great COL
lector Of these beautiful things. President
Roosevelt also recognizes In Mr.. GIBBS
an sminently practical Republican politician,
and one that Is no eminently practical
q to Be truthful. Mr.. Gibbs has no reason
whatever TO love Collector Bidwell for the
reason that In that bunch OF seventy-two
inspectors that Collector Bidwell removed
was one OF Mr.. Gibbs's lifelong friends.
Mr.. Gibbs was very angry at the time.
This personal friend Of Mr.. Gibbs was
Daniel Bowling. appointed Deputy Sur

from the New York Custom House, has been
appointed to a 5000 place by Vce-Presi-
dent Daniel s. Lamont Of the Northern
Padho Railroad. Company. Mr.. Gibbs
and Mr.. Bowling have been friends from
their youth UP, and Mr.. Gibbs believed that
Collector Bidwell had treated Mr.. Bowling
unfairly. II Mr.. Gibbs holds any resent
ment against Collector Bidwell he does
not show IL, and he Ia 10 tell President
Roosevelt, he said yesterday, that this
warfare on Collector Bidwell is unfair and
unjust.
since Collector Bidwell removed that
bunch Of se~venty-two men their friends
and relatives have all Joined the move
ment Of the u~p-country Republicans TO
have one Of their number appointed Col
lector OF the Port Of New York In place OF
Mr.. Bidwell. The city Republicans speak
ing OF this situation Yesterday said that
the up-country Republicans had III Col
lectors Of Ports and Surveyors at Albany,
Malone, Troy. Syracuse, Rochester, Buffalo
and all over the State, that the up-country
Republican,. had their full share Of the
Federal patronage. and that this was a
most unhappy time for them TO attempt
TO liz tDt DtdNS VI obt,Nci VI "" Wv
OF New York. The Republicans who don't
sympathize with the up-country movement
pointed out yesterday the valiant services
Of the New York city Republicans on the
election day Just passed in behalf Of a
fusion ticket that had few Republican
names on IL. President Robert c. Morris
Of the New York Republican County Com
mittee returned Yesterday from a visit TO
President Roosevelt. Nobody worked
harder in the recent campaign than Presi-
dent Morris, aud President Morris told
President Roosevelt in Washington that tho
attempt OF certain u~p-country Republicans

unfair.
