formed into the knight-errant. and IS
quite lost 10 his friends.
The Evening Tribune had rot heard
the story that was told Col McCTory by
an up-country politician when it put
Daylight through Tim Byrnes' political
standi! z yesterday. This politician said
that he met Col. Byrnes' father, and,
being an old friend OF the family. began
to ask about the boys. The Old gentlman
spoke with satisfaction of the prosper
ity of John and Dan in Minneapolis,
but when the politician asked casually
what I i'm was doing. the fathers affec-
ton literally shone throug his eyes as
he replied: Tim is down IN W ashlng-
ton"
'Ab, in Washington. Has he good
position there?"
YES. its a foine p'sition he has there
altogether. Why he's confidential clerk
o. the treasury. and it's President
Harrison that never makes an app'lnt-
ment without consulting my by Iim.'
INDIANA IN THE SADDLE.
The Indiana colony, after a short
9eason of dismounted guard duty. Is
again in the saddle. and riding like Tip
peeanoe and Tyler, too. The perniciOus
activity of the colony now hedges about
the government building as a center.
The building is approaching completion.
and the expectation has been heralded
through the GLOBE. the peoples paper.
that there would be certain and divers
positions to fill therein. to wit:
Those of custodian. deputy custodian
or superintendent, ana chief engineer.
besides minor places. NOW, Robert RO-
land Odell. the gutta percha statesman.
originally from New York. has given it
out cold that he will be uperintendent
Of the government building. Robert
Roland is good fellow but he didn't
come from Indiana. and for that reason.

stokers in the cellar. The colony is
backing another man. namely, Col. w.
T. B. Mcintyre. an Old Indiana
politician who has acquired a
residence here and is one of
the efficient CORPS of deputies in
the county clerk Office. Col. Mcintyre
has some strong Endorsements and is

and many more. If Col. Mcintyre is
called higher it is understood there will
be no difficulty in importing an Indi-
Rnlan to labor at the court house. There
are no laws prohibiting the importation
of contract labor from one state to an
other. Robert Roland Odell, it is
claimed. knows the jeopardy in which
he stands. but he has some New YOr5,
Endorsements. Commissioner Tanner

Offset the cavalry charge of the colony.
And the position the IndianianS are
after is that of chief engineer at the
government building. Congressman
Snider has indorsed a gentleman who
stands in the confidential relation of
father-in-law to one OF the chaI ter menl-
hers of the Wo0dpecker club. Capt
SnideT and Mr. Hall say that Samuel
PieTson shall have the place. but the
colony says 10, and deadlock has ell
sued. A politician who Is on the inside
said yesterday that it was true Capt.
Snider had Endorsed PieTsOn. and true
also that the Indiana Lyceum opposed
him. and he added that he did not be-

carry his point.
