My dear Mr. Johnson:

Yours of the 8th is before me. There is no way to advance the matter of which you write, in regard to the Yosemite Park, unless it be byway of amendment to a bill already pending in Congress. That, in my judgment, will be the only way at all likely to succeed, as new bills of this nature, at this session of Congress will be very apt to fail for want of time to consider them. …

I enclose a slip (from the Fresno “Expositor”) as a sample of stuff of which a considerable pile is getting into print. I do not for a moment imagine that there is any chance of Irish becoming one of Mr. Cleveland’s cabinet officers, but I can fancy that Irish might gather up enough of the “[vot?]” published by the railroad organs, and by some well-meaning but mistaken country papers, to impress the President-elect with the idea that he (Irish) is a genuine leader of the people.
