Mr. Rounds’ Successor Sends @ Fore- © to the Printing Office. Mr. Cadet Taylor, the chief clerk of the Gov- ernment Printing sffice, has resigned and Mr. Rounds, the publie printer, has appointed Mr. Gilbert Benedict, of New York state, in his place. The latter is a brother of the Mr. Bene- dict whom the President has selected to suc- ceed Mr. Hounds and he is expected to assume the duties of his new position at 12 o'clock to- morrow, The new public printer will relieve Mr. Rounds on the 15th of September, and in ‘the meantime his brother, who has been man- aging his newspaper at Ellenville, N. ¥., will make himself familiar with the office, 80 as to be of assistance to the new public printer when he takes charge. Neither of the Benedicts have as yet made their appearance at the printing office, and Mr. Rounds’ appointment Of w successor to Cadet Taylor wus made en- trely upon the recommendation of the ineom- ig pubilc printer. Mr, Taylor, the retiring chiet clerk, came with Mr. Rounds when the lalter (was, appointed by President Arthur in Place of Mr. Detrees, and his intelligent dis- charge of the duties'of his position has con- tributed materially to the successful admin- istration, of the affairs of the Govera- ment Printing office under the man- agement of Mr. Rounds. Both Mr. Rounds and | Mr. Taylor retire from the offico with the good wishes of those who had business before it as well as of the employes. Mi Rounds has continued in the office for a longer period than he had intendea, but he has done ¥o at the request of the President, who did not wish to make any change in that office. The Jarge business interests of Mr. Rounds and the new newspaper enterprise which he has gone into at Omaha has compelled him to hasten the President's action, and his request. that. the change should not be delayed tater than Sep Yember 15th has been complied with. Mr. Taylor will accompany Mr. Rounds to Omaha. ‘The new public printer and nis brother have ractical knowledge of the business of conduct- ing # printing establishment and they are the proprietors of a newspaper published at their ome in New York state which they persoually superintend. The advent of the new officiais causes considerable flutter among the employes of the printing oftice, and the burning question of the hour is whut will be the policy in regard to changes. So far there has been no change except that In the chilet clerkship. ‘The impression prevails that very many changes are to be made by the new pub- Ue printer. “From what can be learned itseems that democrats will be installed as a rule, as foremen and assistant foremen.
