The new Treasurer and the two new auditors assumed charge of their offices in the Treasury today. The charge of the Treasurer's office was formally turned over to Mr. Jordan by Mr. ‘Wyman, the retiring Treasurer. As Mr. Jordan had already met the subordinates under him no formal introduction was necessary. The count of the money and securities in the Treas- ury is being continued Tapidly, a full force being put upon the count. The teller’s cash was counted last night and ‘approved within two cents, which Mr. Jordan pronounced satisfac tory. The new Treasurer has entered the office with the view of conducting it on strictly busl- ness principles. He says he is going to con- duct the office as economically as possible. Mr. Jordan is a thorough-going business man. The two auditors were introduced to their chiefs and chiet clerks, and spoke encouragingly tothem. The third auditor, Judge Chenoweth, said toaStak reporter that there would be no changes in the force under him, at this time anyhow. ‘The first auditor, Judge Williams, said to the reporter that he found the work In his office away behind, and he would haye to set to at. once to try and bring it up, He did not know where the fault lay, but Re would find out. When asked by the reporter if there were to be any chitnges in the force of his department, he replied that it would be very strange if there were not. He is a very pleasait gentleman, and. his cordial manners placed him upon a'very, friendly footing with his subordinates, Gentle- men who have known him for years say he would be the last man in the world todischarge @ subordinate without cause, eee. = New York Democrats Dissatisfied. THEY DON'T MIKE THE PRESIDENT'S INACTION— THEY WANT HIM TO GIVE THE COLLECTOR- SHIP TO A WORKING POLITICIAN. “There is considerable dissatisfaction in New York," said a member of Congress from that state to@SraR reporter today. “They are not satisfled with Cleveland's inaction, They are waiting anxiously for him to make a move. ‘They know Manning and Whitney areall right, but itis Cleveland. ‘They don't know what to expect from him. The democrats will elect their governor any how, but it will be a pretty hard pull ifClevelund don't doas we want him to. What is wanted fs that the collectorship be ven to a politielan—not a pot house politician. Let him be as high toned as may be, but a politician who will’ work for the party. We lon't care who he is, Let him be a man from outside of the city. Uke that better.” “Who will be the nominee for governor?” asked THE Stax man, “That's hard to say; I think Corning is the man.” ———-+e____ The Retirement of Judge Wylle.
