Mr. Harte! was the author of an in-
novation in oilioe seeking which crested
a sensation when it was first disclosed.
After President Cleveland was elected
he made out a list of sveryfedersl odlce
in his district and wrote opposite each
the name of the man he considered most
competent to an it. He had a wide as-
quaintance himself. having lived there
from boyhood. but when he was in doubt
consulted persons in the diflerent locali-
ties in whose judgment he had-conti-
denoe. Then. without saying anything
to any one, he filed a copy of this list
with President Cleveland and said:
"These are my nominations for all the
emcee in my district. ' If you? desire to
appoint them. I shall he very much
pleased. if you desire to know my rea-
sons for selecting any particular man for
any particular place, I shall be glad to
give them. If you think proper to up
point others. I shall not be attended. 1
submit these names as a matter of duty
and shall not approach you on the sub-
doctogshnnlesslamsentfor.”
At the same time the list was pub-
lished in the local papers with an an-
nohucement that it would be useless forf
any one 'to attempt to persuade Mr. Bar-i:
