Show The fact that tho bond of the present Public Printer will expire on the first ot January is respoimibio tor the belief that a new 1'ubllc Printer will bu appointed in a short time. It Is stated hat President Cleveland lias tendered tho appointment to two moil and that tt was declined by both of them, becauso neither of them was willing to promise tho President Presi-dent that they would run tho office on civil servleo reform principles, making neither removals nor appointments on political grounds. If President Cleveland Cleve-land insists UHn getting that promise from tho men appointed it will bo very dlflh nit for him in get n democratic Public Printer, nnd If ono is found to mako tlio promise nnd it becomes knowu his confirmation by the Senate would bo extremely doubtful. |
