Hntehins, Judge. Xt’uliigloa JLj [From the Journal’s Correspondent. J Washington, Sept. 16, ISS9 Over two months ago I predict©/!, in these columns that as soon as the Milwaukee encampment of the Grand Army had folded its tents, Commissioner Tanner’s official head would be in the executioner’s basket. The prediction was afcsy and its verification surprised no ane save, per chance, the corporal him self, who wept copiously when the president’s abrupt demand for his resignation reached him. The cor poral had met his Waterloo at, Mil waukee, when the grand army ra fused to make hia quarrel thoirs. Viewed from a political stand point the removal of Commission er Tanner is a heroic measure, lha cutting oil' a limb to save a life. .President Harrison saw months ago that the eoraaihaioßer must go, and used available means to ecu vicce hits of that necessity. With an obstinacy cb&racterietic of his inherent indesorotion, the ecrporal refused to take the hint and ibo ki.k followed. It is .vow #Uied that Mr. Tartan** friends will demand the pnbiieatien of vhe eorrespoadeace between Searetary Moblfjf and him, ia which his re• ire meat was first suggested. Should this ba done, it can tnly be tc the corpor al’s additional w rtifiestion, s it ton’d undoubted y >howr that the Charon were baeed # upon tbsoorperal’a ift-apacity to properly parlors tho da tic* of & high position. I'M*. Harrison has only himself to b aufto for tho Tinner trouble and >9 ary injury is wropght to the republi e n party, be tfisoe h to bhtrsa. jJoiia of the foremost politicians of kis par ty reeotrtmended Mr. Tanner's appoint rat at; i&dood, they want further and protested v-g&inat it Senator Iliscock ot New York, who, being from the oripor&l’s own etaf®, might have bees expected to enthusiaitically t-appert him, would not indorse the jjomina t* n after ii was made. Corporal Tanner was simply too snail for the position he ononpid. Hia 8 lectioa was due to sentiment aad the i lea that it would plsaso the veterans of the Grand Army, It did please them until they dixcovared bis weak ness and incapasity, of course, that was enough for them, aq the members arc too good citizens ,0 tvaut any man retained in office against the best in terests ot the republic. But Mr. Tanner’s fall was greatly feantoavd by hi vanity and importin enso. After his selection as oomtnia sioner of pension hr triad to avenge himself in petty ways apoa tho Eiem bere of congress, who had opposed his appointment. To use bis own expres sion he “tamed them all down.” Es sentially a vulgar man, h3 became an abusive one, and in becoming abusive, be nnfortunately selected the wrong victims. He failed to recognize any power higher than himself. When be found out that the secvetaiy of the Ia terior had socao authority in ranters pertaining to the pension olTioa it only served to raie hie haired. Ho did net know enough to band *o the inevitable, ne chose to break. The appointment ot a successor to Commissioner Tanner is agitatin' the public mind. To thy it seems most probably that ex Con gressman Warner ot Missouri, wi.l be asked to take the place, iu fact he now has the oiler under final consideration ne it a man of ability, a lawyer loam ed iu the law, and a man of executive ability. Beat of all, from a political stsedpoin', ho in an ex commander of the Grand Army, and hia appointment wsnid heal imy wounds in that quar ter. The araui Army could hardly question tha removal of one of their commanders on account of manifest in capacity when ono still better like-i was selected to succeed hitn. Mr. War ner’s t ositanoy to accept the position ie dno to two cauße3. Id the first place his income from his bar practice i< ov er 30,000 dollars per annum and the major part of that would be lost if he accepted the commissioaerabip. Ik the second place ho is now the acksiowl edged loader of the republican party in Missouri, If te chould aeoept a po sition under Seetetary Noble he would thereby elevate that gentleman to the position he now occupies aud become merely one cf his political followers. That would be a calamity to aea. War ner, and Pres, uarrison may bavo to look further for a commissioner. Baa friend to yourself, aud others will. A white gieye ©Hau toncaals a dir ty lift Sill.
