Indianapolis Dec 22-Saturday is the fag end
Of the week with Indiana politicians, and visit
ing statesmen seem to have caught the Hoosiel
aversion to showing ones self in town on day
when even the corridors OF that paradise OF
Cabinet-makers, the New Denson, are sure to be
deserted. The political week. in fact, ends here on
Friday and does not begin again, until Monday.
Tn at General Harrisons house, OF course there
are ALWAYS a few callers but the pilgrims who come
on potical or personal missions stay away from the
hotels and get out of the city again as soon as
possib]e There were just three such visitors to-
dav two New-Mexicans who came to ask General
Harrison TO make his Territorial appointments
from the actual citizens of the Territory, and one
Missouri politician who dropped in, as he told
friend here, to say a good word for the only can
ddate for Cabinet position the Southwest is
known to have, and incidentally TO fortify him
self in the Generals recoections when the Federal
Offices in ST. Louis are given out
The st. Louis Samuel Hays who is
well known as an active worker in the old anti
Filley faction in Missouri. He was the post
master at St. Louis during President Arthurs
Administration, and was displaced in 1856. lie
would like, it is supposed, to have his old posi-
ton again.
Mr. Hays's candidate for Cabinet portfolio is
ex-senator Henderson. of Missouri. Mr. Hen
derson was in the Senate from Missouri during
the Republican ascendancy in that State AFTER the
war. and las long been one of the representative
Republicans of st. Louis. He was the chairman
Of the Republican National Convention at Chi
-, of The PROMINENT
Missouri delegates at Chicago again in 1888. 1t
is urged in his favor, too, that he was instru-
mental in turning the vote Of the State over TO
Harrison Ex-senator Henderson, Mr. Hays SAID
was the best man the Republicans Of the South
west could Offer for the Attorney Generashlp
under President Harrison The Republican
marty had made great gains in Missouri In the
last four years and would be greatly gratlfied to
have some representative in the next Admins
tration Mr. Henderson was an able lawyer, ana
stood high among the present practitioners be-
fore the United States Supreme Court. The Re-
nubcans of the Southwest would be unanimous
in supnort Of Mr. Henderson, and many compli
mentarv things had been said of his candidacy IN
the Missouri press.
The two wMexican visitors were L. Is.
Catron and w. L. Rynerson, of Santa fe' MIR.
Catron is a we'll known lawyer and politician IN
New-Mexico and Mr.. Rynerson is business man

The two New.Mexicans talked TO the General
a little on the admission Of the Territories. Ihey
agreed that New-McXico was scarcely MT lor
