The determination of the Presi

of customs at Cincinnati to suc
ceed Amor Smith, Jr., , arouses
amused interest among Southern
Democrats in Congress. It is un
derstood that the President will
nominate Ralph Tiler, of Colum

he will work revenge on Senator
Foraker, who has so faithfully es
p msed the cause of the blacks in
connection with the Brownsville

for a candidate but has no idea

the fact that the normal 50,000
