These federal officials who will be re placed by Democrats are: Hugh L. McKee, postmaster, salary, >6,000. Henry S. Jackson, collector of internal revenues, salary, $3,375. M. O. Markham, surveyor of customs, saTary, about $3,000. F. Carter Tate, United States district attorney, salary, $5,000. John W. Henley, assistant United States district attorney, salary, $2,400. E. A.

Other parts of the state will furnish the other Democratic office hold ers. But speculation as to who they will be but the merest speculation. It is a strong probability, however, that the Taft Republicans will ask the presi dent to remove Walter H. Johnson, Unit ed States marshal, and Carter Tate, United States district attorney, before Mr. Taft leaves office. They charge that Mr. Johnson turned against them in this election. In case Mr. Ttate is removed, C. P. Goree, the attorney, probably will be appointed to fill his unexpired term. None of the Republican leaders had anything to say Wednesday morning. They deemed that a silent philosophy was the better course. TAFT AND T. R. congratulate 'GOV.'
