| WASHINGTON, December 2Sth.-The at
| tention of the Oregon delegation was to-
day called to an editorial in an eastern
| Oregon paper in which it is stated that
| Oregon has been substantially ignored in
| the distribution of Federal patronage. In
| reply 10 this the delegation made a state
ment, showing large number of appoint
ments made in that section. The delega-
| ton say not single appointment yet has
! been made from Portland or Multnomah
county except the Postmaster, to which the
city is entitled, and but two persons from
| that city have been recommended for off,
ces. In view of these facts the delegation
insists that the objections of the eastern
| Oregon papers referred to are not well
taken. The delegation states that they are
| being flooded with letters and kilograms
| from all sections of the State, mostly in
approval of the recommendations they
| have made.

mating the discretion imposed on the Sec
rotary and making the amount to be
