Walker, of Indiana resigned his position OF First
Deputy Commissioner OF Pensions. Mr.. Walkers
resignation, il is said, was requested by General

been urged by Senator Voorhees, and other dis
tinguished lndianisn~. The report circulated
here among few parties that Mr. Hendricks had
visited the White House TO oppose the nomination
OF Colonel Mclean is utterly without foundation.
The fact is that Mr.. Hendricks aud Mr.. voorhees,

matter OF Indiana patronage, the stories to that
6feci being only imagination on the part OF their
originatoIs. The Sentinel correspondent asked
Commissioner Black to night if McLean's commits
