WASHINGTON March Sex Representative
Lamb said this evening that the statement that
he is. an applicant for the commissionership of
Patents is untrue. He declares he would not
have the position if it were rendered him. He
does not want to live here, but intends returning
to Indiana shortly. He stated that there was
one place he had a longing Cor, and that was the
United States district attorneyship for Indiana;
he wanted that, and he believed he would get it.
DR.. Hunter is an applicant for the collector
ship of internal revenue lin the Lawrenceburg
district. He is being strongly pushed by Mr..
Holman, and that is half the battle already won,
it is believed, as President Cleveland does not
wish to antagonize the maAewho carries the key

Today's Ratchet says Austin FL. Brown,
member of the national Democratic committee
from Indiana, is candidate for superintendent
of the railway mail service Brown was the
gentleman who had charge of the press arrange
ment at the Democratic Chicago convention.
He packed the reporters gallery with old women,
who had no business there and snide newspa-
per men; many legitimate journalists were thus
kept out of the seats to which they were en-
titled. If he manages the mails as he managed
the seats at the convention he will make poor
job of it."
Indiana's leading Democrats here haves
been notified by Secretary Lamar that their
State can have the commissionership of the Land
Office if she will put forward good man and
well-trained lawyer for it. He suggested the
name of Judge David Turpie, and the place has
been formally rendered Judge Turpie The
name OF George w. Julian has been mentioned
for the position and he would like very much to
have it; he is in every way considered we'll
equipped for the work, but his friends fear he is
not physically strong enough, as the duties are
very onerous. However should Judge Turpie
refuse the place, it will likely be rendered Mr..

Mrs. Logan Tells Why 1t Is Being Conducted
Without Hard Words.
Special to the Indianapolis journal.
WASHINGTON, March S-Mrs. Logan speak
ing tonight Of the senatorial contest in the I'LL
nois Legislature between her husband and Rep
resentative Morrison, said to the Journal CORE
spondent: "You haye doubtless observed that
during all this struggle not a single harsh word
has come from the candidates or any of their
friends. Well, you will not hear harsh word
if this deadlock should continue all summer.
Neither Colonel Morrison nor my husband will
permit it; they are the best of friends, and SO
are Mrs. Morrison and myself. You see, our
husbands were in the war together. At Fort
Donelson they were in the same brigade, and
were wounded Mrs Morrison and / went to
the battle field together and cared for them, and
we have been the best of personal friends ever
since, and our husbands have been, too. Mrs.
Morrison would readily resent a SANDER against
my husband, and I'm sure would not listen to
an untruth uttered to injure Colonel Morrison,
or suffer an unfair advantage to be taken of
him. The same may be said of our husbands"
Mrs. Logan did not directly say so, but she
has strong hopes of the Senator's re election.

ton of Offices is concerned The only way a
Vice president can keep up much of a hold upon
public attention, or main tain much of position
for himself, is by going into the social field. Ii
he entertains literally, and goes out great
deal, he will be the recipient of plenty of atteu-

Mr.. Hendricks is very ambitious in social
way, and is fond of going out There is no
doubt she will make out of the position all that
can properly be done This is as it should be.
The mistake of number of Vice presidents has
been to accept insignifcance and obscurity
through their own lack of exertion. William A.
Wheeler, who was Vice president when Hayes
was IN the White House, lived in as much re-
tirement in his rooms at the Riggs House as if
he had been a hermit in a cave. David Davis
broke the line of modest retirement when he
held the position of acting Vice president. He
is not at all fond of society, but when he got the
place he launched out and gave series of very
elaborate dinners, which included in their
course the President his Cabinet, and every
important official of the government. The re-
sultwas that Judge Davis was kept constantly
b@Ure the attention of every one, and welded
more influence just through this fact alone than
any other Vice president Of modern times

Mcdonald took off his coat and worked like a

English had nearly ruined the campaign in Indi-

into the breach with all his vigor and saved the
State. But he refused to take the credit for it,
and let English remain as chairman. / tell you

Special to the Indianapolis Journal. q
WASHINGTON, March 8.-House Postmaster
Dalton, of Indiana said to the Journal CORE
.spondent, tonight, that tho Democratic leaders
generally believe that postmasters will be per-
mitted to serve out their terms; that removals
will be made for cause only, and that that cause
will not be political. In other words post
masters will not be removed simply that their
places may be got for Democrats. Mr. Dalton
is in daily consultation with those who are init
mate with President Cleveland, .ad he says it is
time wasted for men to seek postmastershps
under the impression that there will be appoint
ments before the present terms expire. Dalton
is a candidate for reelection, and it is believed
he will have no opposition.

Belief that He Will Meet Cold Reception
Attitude of Lord Mayor O'Connor.
LONDON March THE Prince Of Wales, it is
| now generally believed, will meet with cold re-
ception upon the occasion of his visit to Dublin
next month. Many fear that he will be even in
suited during his progress through the country.
The retreat made by Lord Mayor John OConnor
from his attitude of apparent opposition to the
visit has embittered the great majority Of the
National Leaguers, among whom he had been
recognized as strong and bold leader previous
to the episode. The Lord Mayor, however,
firmly maintains his present position--that he
owes at least official courtesy to the royal visitor
during the period of his stay in the Irish capital
No fault.fnding and no threats on the part of his
former political colleagues seem to have any eff
feet on his present determination to welcome the
Prince. All this tends to make the Nationalist
more determined in their declared purpose to Off
set the Lord Mayors "obsequiousness,a
as it is called, by conduct which shall
plainly convey to his Royal Highness
that his presence in Ireland is not de-
sired by them for any purpose whatever They
are arranging now to make such demonstration
of disloyalty as will ''teach England that tho
disloyalists are in the majority in Ireland"
Lord Mayor OfConnor reached Dublin TODAY
from London whittier he went Thursday with
deputation of the Dublin Municipal Council. to
present TO Parliament a petition concerning
Irish trade and industry. In an interview
through his private secretary with your CORE
spondent yesterday, in London, Mr. OConnor
said:
1T is a mistake to suppose that anybody ex-
ercised any coercion upon me for the purpose Of
inducing me to make the apology made for my
alleged threat to haul down the flag from the
Mansion House when the Prince of Wales came
to Dublin. know that members of the Nation
alist party say that was coerced, but was not.
The remarks that made about the flag were
uttered in the heat Of excitement caused during
the great mass meeting in Phoenix Park last
Sunday This excitement impelled me to the
use of language which / at once regretted in the
calmer moments that followed the enthusiasm
of the meeting. Ny friends recalled my ex-
cited speech and expressed regret at what I had
said. The threat to lower the flag from the
Mansion House has been misunderstood What
meant was siWply that in view of the political
antagonism existing between Ireland and Eng
land, ], as Lord Mayor of the city of Dnblin.
should not be at home to the Prince of Wales
when he arrived in the capital. The flag is only
raised over the Mansion House when the Lord
Mayor is in-that is his official residence"
In conclusion, Lord Mayor O'Connor said that
he had received many threatening letters but
in any case he had no intention Of identifying
himself In any way. personally or officially, with
the royal visit.
