| President Cleveland never gave Bar
mum any particular recognition in the
| distribution of patronage, but he did
honor Mr.. Conan s requests for time.
When politicians, of unsavory reputa-
ton, had been unloaded upon him, Mr..
| Cleveland began to balk One of them
was "Gene' Higgins, of Maryland,
! who became chief clerk of the Treasury
Department. He had high carnival
of decapitations in that department. His
summary methods were picturesque. One
was, on meeting Republican employe
in the corridors or elsewhere, to draw
a forefinger across his own throat as
he nodded his head toward the prospec-
tive victim. The yellow envelope of
dismissal arrived by the next mail.
Mr.. German had picked out a Mary
land lieutenant, J. Ford Talbot, now a
| Representative in Congress, for First
Assistant Postmaster-G General In those
days Mr.. Talbot was something of a
rounder. When he went into the pres
ence of Mr.. Cleveland to receive his
appointment, he did not look quite as
the President thought prospective As
sistant Ostmaster-GeneraI should. he
did not receive the appointment, which
speeded a rupture between the Presl-
dent and Mr.. German. Higgins was
eventually removed, and Mr.. Cieve-
land ceased to accept recommendations
for appointments to office from his
campaign manager. Mr. German be-
came CIeveland's inveterate enemy. AS
Senator he denounced him with all
the adiectives and explosives at his
command, for going back on the men
who had gone down into the mire and
slime for him in one of the meanest
national campaigns ever waged.
President Harrison was so enraged at
QUAY that he called the leading mem
bers of the National Committee to-
gether and sought, without avail, to
have a new chairman chosen. When
he had been renominated at Minneapolis
in 1892, he experienced the greatest diff
fculty in finding a trained politician
to take charge of his campaign for that
year. Thomas H. Carter of Montana,
now Senator, then Commissioner OF
the General Land Office, was finally
chosen. The Democrats pitted against
him William F. Harrity, of PhIIadel-
phia, although William c. Whitney and
Dan Lamont of New York became very
prominent in the management OF the
campaign of 1892 They were made
Secretary of the Navy and Secretary
of War, respectively Chairman Har-
rity was given some recognition by
Cleveland in the second administration.
but it was largely in the distribution
of Federal patronage in Pennsylvania.
Representative James Kerr, recently
deceased, who won out at Denver last
July after a big fight with James Cuff
fey and Representative Howard Mulch
Ter. formed fractional combination
against Harrity to strive for the rich
political patronage of that Republican
State, but Mr. Cleveland stood by his
National Chairman, whose word
went in bestowing the spoils IN
Pennsylvania.
When Mckinley became President,
