Show irmon doing ui SHE WILL NOW GO democratic blaine and harrison acar aug an open rupture harrison has to use an expression of the street done up ohio in great appointing chapman of now york to be solicitor general this is the position that was promised to ex congressman harac of ohio a promise that caused senator quay to call senator sherman a liar and other pet names hart has been under a heavy expense for nearly two months bating for his appointment and now it goes to a now york man the ohio republicans now in washington are the maddest crowd of men I 1 ever saw they say tho state will go democratic certain and they dont care a continental if it does john sherman is in europe but unless harrison can fix this and some other matters to his satisfaction on his return john is certain to join the already strong coterie of republican anti tion senators blaina and harrison have camo nearer to an open rapture thin week than over before and Harri bou has shows his weakness and cowardice to an extent that is simply disgraceful the facts in th case are about as follows it having been ascertained that france had or was about to conclude a treaty with one of the wavering sides in hayti it was determined ter mined to send an american corn mission consisting oi two envoys extraordinary to hayti to aeo that the doctrine was not in any manner infringed blaine presented the names of gen lew wallace of indiana and beverly tucker of virsinia Vin sinia one a democrat and the other a republican and harrisan Harris cn appointed them in two hours after tho appointments were announced harrison was listening to a demand for their withdrawal made by a gang of ox soldiers headed by gen H V boynton the fiery washington correspondent of the cincinnati commercial gazette on the absurd ground that tucker was connected with the conspiracy that resulted in i the assassination of president absurd as the charge was harrison weakened and the appointments were withdrawn the charges are utterly false as have been fully proven years ago and mr tucker yas employed on two occasions during the administration oshayes to perform important and confidential services for the united states gov arment and garfield appointed him visitor to the naval academy abc annapolis gen wallace who was a member of the military court that tried and convicted booths alleged accomplices says there was no ground whatever tor any such charges against tucker blaine was mad as he had a right to be and there is likely to be the biggest kind of a row if harrison persists in keeping back the blaine knows the animus behind the foolish charges it is abt tucker these ex soldiers are after but jim blaine for whom they have never had much love harrisons cowardice in the matter ia generally condemned but he is one or those republicans that fear the power of the ex soldiers more than they do their god so no more need to be expected from what I 1 can leam I 1 believe that blaine will insist on these appointments standing even to the extent of resigning if harrison refuses the anti mahone republicans of virginia engaged in a miserable fiasco here ladt wednesday they saw that all tho men so far appointed to office in virginia are lahoue men hence they concluded that it would be well to patch up a truce with maheno if they hoped to get any pap they prepared an address making certain proposals and sent it to Al ahone who was also in this city he ignored it entirely they then went to the white bouso tu read it to harrison and got snubbed again harrison refused to hear the address read making the excuse that he was in a hurry to catch the new york train there was about one hundred in the crowd and the was conspicuous by his absence ex senator says maheno offered him ano mia sion to hong kong but ho refused it gen eldis acting secretary of war during the absence of secre tary proctor jhb general in command of the army always acted as secretary of war during the absence 01 tho
