DEMOCRATIC LEADERS NoT COMPLAINING OF THE PRESIDENTS COURSE—SOME OF THE CAUSES OF DELAY IN MAKING APPOINT. MENTS, ‘As @ rule the complaints within the demo- cratic party against the administration because appointments are not madesmore rapidly, pro- cegd from those who are elther pressing for places, or have been disappointed in seeking office. The recognized leaders of the party are not complaining. Democratic Senators, who are still in Washington, generally express satis- faction with the policy of the administration. They recognize the fact that the President's ‘chief duty 1s not to put democrats in office. Prominent democrats, like Senators Cockrell, Ransom, Colquitt, and’ Representatives Hewitt and ex-Representative Stevens, of New York, have no complaints to make. On the contrary, they approve the cautious course of the Presi- dent, and applaud his determination to select only good men for office. In very suey cases: of application for appointment the applicants themselves and their backers have been respou- sible for delay. Itis a new thing with demo- crate tobe ina position to ask for office, and even many of the Congressmen are ignorant of the propor details of the business. Hundredsot applications have been filed in the most bung- ling manner. In some instances the Lips oat have not afforded information which was abso- lutely necessary to insure intelligent action, Several days ago a democratic Senator put in applications for several of his constituents who wanted office, The head of the department, after looking them over, remarked: “If all of our democratic friends would have their papers in such good shape as this they would save us and theinselves a good deal of trouble.” Then the department chief went on to explain how much muble had been caused by the irregular way which many have of acquainting the ad- ministration with their wishes. It is the inten- tion of all the members of the administration tomake sure of their ground before making changes. No new appointments of postmasters wll be made until all the existing vacancies are filled. The Postmaster General is laboring with the utmost diligence to fill the vacancies, and then he will takonp the subject of new appoint- ments, Superintendent of the Soldiers’ Home. A CHANGE PROBABLE—RETIRED OFFICERS WHO ‘ARE MENTIONED FOR THE PLACE. It is generally understood that there will soon be a change in the office of superintendent of Soldiers’ Home, There {san -unwritten mili- tary law that an officer's term of service is four years, and Gen. Sturgis will have completed thatterm as superintendent of the Soldiers’ Home onthe 25th inst, Asthe law now re quires that hereafter that office shall be filled by aretired officer, officers on the retired list who are desirious of the duty are marshaling their forces of friends tosecure the appointment from the President. About adozen applica- tions have already been received at the War department. Among the prominent applicants are Gen, Augur, Gen, Hunt, Col. E. B. Alexan- der. Col. McKibben and Col. N. B. Sweltzer, ex- quartermaster general Rufus Ingalls is also suid to be desirous of the place. ses The Case of Dr. Wales.
