Washington Letter from the Dixon Sun on political spoils
The Dixon Sun reports Harrison reshaping the White House staff with Public Printer and other offices up for grabs. Tracy fires Democrats at the naval ordnance plant, while Clarkson fills the post office with a Republican envoy. Thompson, endorsed by many Senators, is urged for Civil Service Commissioner, and Halstead’s ministerial nomination sparks GOP strife. A Senate rule may bar open executive sessions, as Hoar plans a Canada trip on public funds.
