DON'T WANT HIM
PEOPLE KICK AGAINST BARNES
BEING THEIR POsTMASTER
And Senator Tillman is Picked to
Prevent Eis Confirmation by
The Senate.

AS il by common consent, the peo.
pie OF Washington, the business pee:
pie, ofhceholders, residents and others
have turned to Senator Tillmsn pro-
testing against the Senate confirming
the nomination Of B. F. Barnes. to be
postmaster OF that ci5y. Their sF-
pesls could not have fallen into more
willing ears, tor it will ba remembered
that 3 short time ago when Mrs, MI
nor Morris was Violently elscted from
the White House under the direct or
GERS OF Mr.. Barnes, Senator Tinnan
electrified the Ssnste with g thrilling
narrative OF the scene and centered
MS biggest shot against Barnes. BE
End he alone, according to what Sena-
tor Tillman said at that time, was
responsible for the dlsgraceful scene
that happened in the executive Offices
of the White House, and the Senator
did net spare words in telling his fe-
Low members OF the upper house Of
Congress what he thought about the
matter.
The appointment Of Barnes to be
postmaster Of this city vas no less
surprise to Senator Tiilnan than to
the other 800, 900 inhabitants CT Wash
ington. The msnner Of the appoint
ment Fas cut o. tie ordinary way that
appointments are generally made and
there were few people here who ccula
at first understand the motives OF The
President in selecting for Washing
tors DOS % aster a man rot ldentif
in sny way With the city's interests,
and practically unknown tc Washing
ton residents and susineSs men. Tna
appointment was not al agreeable one
and it has baen surmissed that it was
made entirely from a standpoint CT
personal popularity with tie Presi'
&ent.
Ten thousand wonsn, representing
every section cf the United States art
said 30 be behind the fight that S=n--
.or T;lInan will nsks against Barnes
cor f1matloo by toe Senate. AS po|-
ccful as the hosts Of the Temperance
cau,e, they are planning a Vigcrcu
tgha against tie nan shoE they b.
lie7s guilty oi g,sat iadi4n:ty level
Cd at one OF their sex. They have 20
FORGOTTEN the White House affair, arc
although by direction OF the President
5hs matter bss loy 6 since heen con
s;oered a closed incident" at leas'
:con. al cf6c!al standpoint, ttey say
sla1 it gsiii recer be q Closed iHci-
dent" as long ss tie women Ct TIE
UaiLel States have right to vice
:heir ssntiEents ard as lcng IS there
are men in the Senate who will stand
up for them in TIE fight that they are
making.
Senator Ts!lmaG has already given
notice to his fs,low members OF the
S:nase tha5 be will exercise his ro1er
to clock Barnes confirmation. BE VIII
BE- opposed by Segs:os Ledge and
bale ootn right b nd msn OF the
President, and Thile it is not thought
ths5 Senator Tillnan will be able tc
keep the noGination from eVentuslll
going through, he will necessarily
bold 1t u2 tLr while through bis
Efforts.
There are many men in Washing
ton more worthy Of receiving the ap
pointrent as p IS master OF that city
than Barnes" the Senator says, ard
the tims has !ocg >i;ice passed when
fat offices we're distributed among car
pstoaggers." The fight will be live
" one while it lasts.
