candidates and the Offices which they are after.
The real food of applications will not begin prob

nointed. A few of the more prominent candidates
for Office NAV be mentioned however, at this time.
Congressman Money is considered to be booked Tor
First Assistant Postmaster General General y. u
C,ack of Illinois is likely TO receive tne appoint
men, Of Commissioner OF Pensions. Phi Ihonip-
son. of Kentucky hopes to be made commissioner
of Internal Revenue. Vice-President hendilcbs Is
making efforts to secure for his old friend Colonei
Bannister, of Lawrenceburg. Ind, the Cohl-
n,issonershlp Of the Land ONCE, when nc MIisei
once filed. Senator Jonas is not averse to taxing
the Assistant Secretaryship OF the Interior, on''
failing to get that he is willing to put no with the
Co,,ectorship of the Port of New-Orleans. Ex-
Senator Pendleton, wLo, politically speaking, is in
the same box with Mr. Jonas, is talked OF as MINIS
ter to the Court of ST. James, OF as second choce
to he Minister at Paris. "The nOblest Roman OF
them all is the rival ot Mr. Pendleton for the post
of Minister in London. Tonight the statement Is
made that the President has refused TO accept MI.
IowelIs resignation, on the ground that he mas
made an excellent public servant. In that Case
both the Ohio Democrats mentioned will be dlsap-
pointed.
THE Treasury Department has always had I'M
usual attractions for the average Democratic once
seeker. The greatest effort will be made by the
na,rots TO secure berths in that Department.
Charles S. Fairchild, ex-AttorneyG Geperal OF New
York has already been mentioned as likely to sac
ceed Judge French as First Assistant Secretary OF
the Treasury. Mr.. Coon may possibly be called
upon TO make room for the Presidents late law
partner, q Baby Bissell.

filed by the resignation Of John Davis who ac-
ccpted Judgeship on the Court of Claims The
Assistant Secretaryshp of State has always been
filled by men whosenjoy in a large degree the con-
fjdence of the Secretary Of State The appointment
personal one and is generally filled by relative of
the head of the Department. No one has been men
toned as yet as the probable choice of Secretary
Bavard. Third Assistant Secretary Adee's services
and experience will probably induce the new Secre-
tary to retain him in the public service. ana the
same may probably be said OF Secretary Hunter,
who has served the department for more than nall
acentury: .s,...;o.; l., .ho
fling of applications and in making their wishes
known than any other Democrats. Ex.Representa-
tive Lamb is to bc United States District Attorney

Black for the Commssionership of Pensions. Sen
ator Vance's brother is keeping sharp eye upon
Shelby. of Alabama, wants to be an Assistant
General. He has secured the support OF
the Congressional delegation of his State.
These are some of the more prominent Office
