MY UBAU OKSKIIAI , : Oonornl Ar thur c.uno over lust night from Wna- ington nnd I hnd n conference of sov- crnl IIOIUH with him , He informed mo tlint Bliino nnd hia political ml- luironta were very much provoked nt what they called my interference , nnnioly , bccnuso I had suggested with ninny others the niuiio of .Kulgo Fol- ; nr for secretary of the treasury. Gen- crnl Arthur says ho had iiovor heard such n bu/.z nnd disturbance of fooling art there hns boon among the Blivitu people , lie furthermore snya thnt Elkins , noting no doubt for Blnlno , it talking very noisily ngninst the aolco- tion of Judge Folger , bccnuso ho wne n tool ot mine. The disappointment manifested by this fooling in Washing ton is great and I think therefore tlint this manifest ntiou of bitterness ia a tiling of which you should take liucd and I write what I have aaid to vou more than once , that neither Blnino nor nny other nmbitioua mnn should hnvo control of the grout placoa in your cabinet. If Blaine is to bo nindo secretary of stnto nnd n protege of his secretary ot the treasury nnd mother secretary of importance ) , I ! mvo great fcnra that the ndministra- Lion would grontly Bailer , with nn oven chnnco that disaster would follow , u the near future. I do not > ylsh o any an unkind thine ; of Blaine , ilthough ho is charged with the ro- sposibility for the must unkind things said of mo within the Innt week , nnd the moil untruthful nnd malignant ever ultorodby mnn. If what General Arthur hns hoard is true , it ia clear as daylight to my mind that ho expects to hnvo his friend in the treasury do- pnrtmnnt ; another friend either in the postollicu or the interior , nnd that through them nnd by them ho intends to do ono or two things ) either to mnko your administration a campaign ground for his own nspirationa , or he Imi Homo other object no less danger ous to the party in view. I cannot bring myself to believe thnt Blaine h in the aliito of mind ho ia reported to bo , nnd I sincerely trust thnt General Arthur has been misinformed. I any to you thnt [ or your administration und the republican party nnd for the oountry the appointment of Judge Folger to the treasury department , is the most important ono you have to deal with. Your failure to appoint liim , it sooina to mo , will bo n monumental mental mistake of your administra tion. I believe the republican party of the country think well of Blaine , and I think hia selection ns the head of your cabinet ia a wiao ono , but Blaine ia not in a position to , bo the chief of tho'cabinotiftnjl then , dictate the other important places in it , and what is of more importance , you are not in a position to allow him to do it.
