President Arthur Was Pleased to
Make Frank Hatton Happy by
Giving Him the Position OF
Postmaster General.

TN the latter part of President Ar
thurs administration Frank Hatton
became postmaster general, thereby
gaining the distinction OF being the
youngest cabinet officer since Alexan-
der Hamilton; he was only thirty-eight
when he became a member of Ar
thurs official family. A native OF
Ohio and the son of a newspaper man.
he served through the civil war. at
tanning the rank of first lieutenant.
Then he moved to Iowa, took an ac-
tive interest in politics, and finally be-
came editor-in-chief Of the Burlington
Hawkeye. In 1881 he became assis-
tant postmaster general, and after he
left the cabinet he again became
newspaper editor, first in Chicago and
then of the Washington Post. His
death occurred in 1894.
A few days before Mr.. Hatton's ap-
pointment as postmaster general was
sent to the sena: President Arthur
received me one morning at the White
House. After we had been talking
about half an hour he glanced at the
clock.
Il have an appointment now with
Frank Hatton." he explained. Il like
Frank very much; he has been most
competent assistant postmaster gen.
eral. l have been told that out In
Iowa he is looked upon as very clev-
er politician. l expect to have an in
teresting talk with him. And after 1t
is over want to see you again
Half an hour later l was once more
with the president. l found him sign
ing executive documents-a large pile
of them had been placed upon his
desk. He continued to sign while he
talked.
DO you think Frank Hatton would
make a good postmaster general?" the
president asked me as soon as he saw
the door leading to the outer offices
shut.
l replied that hadn't the slightest
doubt of It, adding that the appoint
ment would certainly be very popu-
lar one with the newspaper CORE
spondents In Washington. of whom
was one.
Frank is very ambitious to serve
as postmaster general" the president
went on. "As you know. have
transferred General Gresham to the
treasury department. and that leaves
a vacancy In the postoff1ce department.
Gresham told me that Frank Hatton
would regard his career as complete
* he could serve as postmaster gen

I'VE have got to nominate him. and
in my opinion he will be elected" re-
torted Murphy.
Again Hill made an investigation.
and became definitely satisfied that
Maynard would be overwhelmingly
defeated. He therefore determined to
write Maynard. The senator began
the letter to Maynard by saying:
"I am about to write letter which
will give me more pain than any
have written since l entered public
life. am going to tell you frankly
that in my opinion. in the opinion OF
practically the entire bar of New York
state, and a majority of the Democrat
ic leaders, you cannot be elected.
would therefore suggest to you that
YOU, in some discreet and satisfactory
way. make It known that you must not
be considered as candidate for the
court OF appeals bench"
Judge Maynard received this letter
by messenger. In due time that mes
senger returned to Senator Hill with
this reply: Judge Maynard says that
he can afford to be defeated by the
people, but he cannot AFFORD to be
humiliated by his party. He there
fore will not withdraw. but Will insist
upon his nomination"
VERY WELL" replied Senator Hill.
.If he insists, have no doubt his
nomination will be made. But l am
afraid he will reg4et it."
And regret his action Maynard sure
ly did.

How David Bennett HlII Tried to
Keep Judge Maynard Out Of Con-
test In Which He Was
Defeated.

VYT HEN the standard biography OF
w David Bennett Hin. former gov
ernor Of New York and United
States senator, and once leading can
didate for the Democratic presidential
nomination, is written. 1t will contain
a letter which has now for l6 years
been kept in Governor Hills SAFE In
Albany. 1t will be an extraordinary
revelation with respect to most ORA
matte incident in Governor Hills ca
reer. 1t will put him in absolutely new
light upon a matter for which ne was
subjected to the severest criticism. In
order that there may be good under
standing of it, 1t will be necessary to
repeat some political history.
In the last year Of Hills term as
governor Of New York-1S90-a very
close election took place in the state.
For some days there was doubt whetn-
er or not the Republicans had secured
q majority in the state senate. In
any event, the majority would be
very small one. possibly no greater
than one vote.
The issue at last centered upon
the election of a senator In Dutchess
county, of which Poughkeepsie Is the
county seat There were strong sus-
picions that the returns had been tam
pered with, and that the correct re-
turns would show that the Republican
candidate for senator had been elected.
The matter was taken to the courts,
and Justice Edgar M. Cullen. now
chief justice of the New York court OF
appeals. and Democrat, decided that
the Republican returns were the cor
rect ones, and issued mandamus TO
the state canvassing board to accept
these returns. But through what many
regarded as the interference OF an
other justice, Isaac H. Maynard. the
returns thus mandamused were not
sent to the state canvassing board.
Instead, the Democratic returns were
sent, and of course. these being the
only ones before the state board, they
were compelled to declare the Demo-
cratic senator elected. In that way
the Democratic party secured control
of the senate, and Governor Hill was
severely criticised because he seemed
to support Judge Maynard. certainly
because he did not, when the facts
became known. take action looking to-

wards the possible impeachment OF
Maynard.
Three years later the state OF New
York was to elect a member of the
highest court, and Judge Maynard was
nominated by the Democrats. II was
the common impression that Mr.. Hill.
who at that time was United States
senator, had forced the nomination.
and when Judge Maynard was beaten
by a hundred thousand majority. this
defeat was regarded all over the
country as a criticism more OF Hill
than of Maynard.
The real facts are now narrated for
the first time. and they follow:
Senator Hill reported to some of his
friends that Richard Croker had said
that Maynard, II nominated, could be
elected The friends replied: Gro
ker is mistaken; he cannot be elect
ed"
81 will make further investigation"
said the senator, "and having done
that. | will consult with my colleague,
Senator Murphy" The latter had
been elected senator through the cap
ture of the Democratic legislature In
the manner above described.
Meeting his colleague in Washing
ton some time later, Senator Hill
said: THE general impression in
New York is that II we nominate May
nard he will be defeated"

be only for few months"
The president paused in his work OF
writing his signature and turned to-
wards me with characteristic very
charming and kindly smile.

yersation that he would be overjoyed

ace Greeley would have been very
happy II he had been appointed post
master general. And Frank Hatton Is
a printer.
We'll, have made up my mind to
appoint Frank Hatton to the post. 1t
will not be a political appointment;
It will be in the nature of personal
appointment, one to give pleasure to
the recipient. And l never saw a
happier expression on a mans face
than / did little while ago when
intimated to Frank that II he would

0N NE of the quaintest Of the per
sonalities who came from the re-
moter west to Washington in the
early eighties was James B. Belford OF
Colorado. He was Republican, and
when first elected was the only con-
eressman from that state. His beard
was very red and his hair was bril-
liant shock of red. His compie1ion
matched his hair and beard. He pos
sessed a voice unlike that OF any
other member of congress. 1t was
yeritable Boanerges voice. 1t was
like the fundamental diapason OF an

 The failure of the insurgents to at- tack Port Au Prince, and the fact that there is now strong government force in the capital, has greatly encouraged the president.
 General Thomas Loses His Head.
 The revolts at Croise des Bouque.s and Gressier were the result of the ar- bitrary orders issued by the military chiefs. General Thomas, commandant in charge when the revolt became &C., tive at Croise des Bouquets. took refuge in the Presbytery. He was made prisoner by the rebels, who cut off his head with machetes.

ONE DRIVER KILLED IN
 GRAND PRlx DE FRANCE.
Maurice Fournier Crushed Beneath His
 Car When Axle Broke.

Lemans, France, July 23.-The grand prix de France, which was run here today under the auspices of the Auto accident. The axle of the machine driven by Maurice Fournier, brother of the noted automobile racer, collapsed when the car was speeding more than mile a minute in an endeavor to overtake the French driver, Hemery. Fournier was crushel to death beneath the car and his mechanician was hurl- ed 100 feet into a field and seriously injured.
 The race drew the biggest crowd since the Wright aviation trials in 1908. The tropical heat subjected the tires and engines to tremendous strain. adding greatly to the interest of the event as a test of endurance.
 Fourteen starters came to the line for the race which was over distance of 63S kilometers (395 miles), but no Americans competed. The only Amer fcan car entered met with an accident last Monday, in which. the driver, Hen ri DePasse, was injured and his mech anician was killed.
 Hemery won the event in hours and minutes, covering the twelve roundS of the course at an average speed of 91 kilometers (56 miles) an hour No other competitor had com = pleted the distance when the time limit was up. and most of them had aban- doned the race altogether before the tenth round.
