bitterest political opponents. It will
be remembered that when he returned
to Washington everybody expected
that his first work would be the selec
tion of the men to fill the numerous
important positions at his disposal,
and this was strengthened by the fact
that a considerable number of the
more prominent members of his party
came here at about the same time upon
his invitation, as many of them sta
ted to friends. He listened to them
all patiently, and then announced
that none of these appointments would
be made until after the State election
to be held next month. Now. if that
means anything it means that the ap
plicants for appointments must go into
the doubtful States, and eveiything
political appears to be doubtful these
days, and prove b the result of the
elections that they have earned the
reward for which they ask. That
makes an active worker out of every
man who is an applicant or the endors r
of an applicant for office, whereas if
the appointments were made before
the election, every disappointed appli
cant and his backers 'Would have
