1t is rumored to day that OK Congressman
Thomas, of Illinois, who was at one time
spoken of for cabinet position, will De ap.
pointed commissioner OF the land office, and
that he will accept it.
It is we'll known that postmaster denerai
Wanamaker made speeches in favor OF pro-
hibition in Philadelphia, and that Attorney
General Miller said the President would not
knowingly appoint to toffice any man VINO
drinks LIQUOR, but since Tuesdays election
in PENNSYLVANIA the chief efforts OF the
tooters of the administration have been
exerted In the vain attempt to prove
that Ii did Dothing whatever to affect the
election referred to. 1t is understood that
the administration now realizes that 1t made
great mistake In having any thing to do
with the temperance question.
large delegation of New Workers called
upon the President to. day In behalf of some
of the applicants for office from their State.
They were received cOurteously but came
away no wiser about the object of their visit
than they were before they went there. A
Baltimore delegation went there in behalf
of an Office seeker In their city last week, but
before the spokesman had uttered ten words
the President interrupted him, and address
ing the delegation said "How do you expect
that when the time comes for change in
this office. probably six months OIL, l
can recolect even the name of the man
YOU recommend? Put what you have TO
saw in writing and file 1t. You are wasting
great deal of time coming here on such
missions, and, to be plain, l haven't time
to listen to ycu." OF course the delegation
had nothing further TO say Also. of course,
they left with NO intention OF putting them.

sons denomination.
No matter how perfect the accord between
Mr.. Dudley and the pension office may be,
it is by no means so perfect between him
and the Treasury Department. Last Mon
day Mr.. Dudley and friend from Indiana
called at the department. referred to, to see
Secretary Window. The Secretary was
busy and sent word out to that effect. The
friend told Mr. Dudley he had not previous
| snubbine he had received at the hands OF
the administration, but that he then was in
duced to think they were true. This nettled
Mr.. Dudley exceedingly, and forcing his way
into the room of the Ord assistant secretary,
with. whom he is familiar, he said, II want
You to 90 at once to MIR. Window and tell him
/ desire to see him Immediately, but shall not
detajn him two minutes" His message was
delivered, but he received the same reply
Then. said he when Mr.. Window is at lei
sure tell him called on his business, not on
mine that when he wants to see me it must
be at my Office, not at his and that shall
never come here again IS long as he is in
charge. He then left, claiming the door
behind him. That message was also deliver
ed, and the remark it elected was that such
q determination on the part of MIR. Dudley
was the very one that Mr.. Window most
| desired. 1t ia reported that MIR. Dudley ie
incensed that be say o oil he did to aid the
| election Of the administration was done with
the advice and consent OF those who reaped
| the reward of his services that all he did
was for the benefit of his party, not of him
self; that he now feels disposed to make
public all ne did do, as he can't be hurt any
worse than no has already been, and that
| If he shall do 50, most people will think the
| best thing the Harrison administration
could do would be to resign.
The members of the Patriotic Order of Sons
| of America now in session here are verywroth
| with the Presidents for his action yester-
day in refusing to wear their badge even
during the short time they were with him,
and there is an effort on foot among them to
change their programme so as not to pass III
raview before him.
Among the republican Congressman now
| in the city is Mr.. Brown, of Indiana, one OF
the fairest minded republicans in the House,
and also ono of the most influential. MIR.
Brown says he has seen enough OF the work
