WASHINGTON, March 14.-Henry C..
Payne, of Milwaukee, arrived this
morning, and Immediately all sorts of
rumors were afleat. 1t was stated in
this mornings Post that Payne is a
candidate for the general superintend-
ency of the railway mail service. Your
correspondent saw Payne, and he said:
wisconsin recommended me for GER
tain cabinet position and nothing
smaller would do me. President Har-
rIson has not enough influence with
position. l am here solely on business,
and not for office" Mr.. Payne's latter
statement is not wholly true. He
is here for office, but not for
himself. He is trying to aid
Dick Guenther in his candidacy for the
position of recorder of deeds of this
district. He saw Harrison about the
matter to-day, land Guenther looks hope
full and smiling tonight. Congressman
McCord has more statesmen on his
hands here who are looking after offices
than all the other Badgers combined.
He is also taking care of office seekers
from the Sixth district while Clark is
away. To-day he received George NJ
Gerry and Alex j. Reid, of Appleton.
The latter is candidate for the Belfast
consulate, and McCord is looking after
his fences for him.
SENATOR SAWYER SAYS:
II am tired of going to the depart
ments for the fellows, but some of them
make me weary when they expect ap-
pointments as soon as Harrison sees
them" The throng in Secretary Win
dom's room this morning was obliged
to wait while the secretary and dis
tinguished looking stranger stepped
behind a large screen and conversed
nearly quarter of an hour. The crowd
was impatient. but when the secretary
came out to meet them his visitor was
discovered to be DR.. Sewers. Your
correspondent immediately asked DR..
Sewers the cause OF his visit. and was
positively assured that the secretary's
health is not impaired in any degree,
but the physicians presence was solely
on business of private nature. This
may be true, or not. as Sewers is always
diplomatic in keeping the condolences
OF patients.
MRS. WINDOWS RECEPTION.
Mrs. Window, who arrived in the city
on Monday night, received callers in
her private parlor at the Arno this after
and Mrs. Window have a suite of three
pretty rooms On the second floor of the
new portion of the Arno building. The
suite is composed of sitting room, a
large dressing room that can be con-
verted into bed room by rearrange-
ment of some of the larger furniture
pieces, and a bed chamber with bath
room attached. Mrs. Window is most
charming hostess, and greeted the many
friends who visited her with unbounded
eordiality. She looks in excellent health
and as youthful as when she left here
soon after the death of President Gar
field. Mrs. Window received in a be-
coming toilet of black satin brocade,
made with vest of buff faille. Mrs.
Charles NOrdhoff, in gown of blue
Henrietta cloth and scarf of yellow silk,
assisted the hostess in entertaining her
callers. The appointments made to-day
by the president for Northwestern of
fees were predicted from here and pub
lished in Tuesdays GLOBE.
THE APPOINTMENT OF CLARKsoN
caused Congressman Turner of Kansas
to naively remark in Plumb's committee
room: What is the matter with Kan
sas and the other Western states? Iowa
gets it all. Secretary Noble was colonel
of the Third Iowa infantry. His assist
ant secretary, Bussey, was colonel of
the Third Iowa cavalry; then there are
Kasson, Clarkson, Root, and probably
Gov. Stone, all from Iowa. Harrison
evidently intends to make Iowa Repub-
lican if he can; but there are other
states out in the West and Northwest"
James FL. Meagher, of st. Paul, is at
the Riggs. and b, S: Wade, of Mime
apolis, at Welcker's. Delegate Car
ter was to-day called in by Secretary
Noble to consider applications for gov
ernOr of Montana on file on behalf of
Isaac ID. McCutcheon, Charles K. Cole
and Edward w. Zeattie. The delegate
conferred with the secretary nearly an
hour, and afterwards stated that no
conclusion. had been reached. From
present indications
THE GOVERNORSHIP OF MONTANA
will not be settled till next week. In
view of conflicting applications it seems
to be determined to avoid mistakes as
far as possible by taking time to con-
slider the situation. Up to this time the
name of l.. Ell. Hirschfield is only men
toned in addition to the above three.
1t is not improbable that some dark
steed may receive the nomination. 1t
is expected that the secretary and chief
justice of Montana will be named Mon
day. There are only 800 postoffices in
Montana, and Delegate Carter wishes
there were enough to go around. II
know of no disposition on the part of
the Minnesota delegation" says Con-
gresham Snider, ito make immediate
changes in the postmastership either at
st. Paul or Minneapolis. Yes. there
are applications from good and worthy
Republicans, and they will not be ig-
nored, but no change seems imminent"
NOTHING IN 1T.
'There is no truth in the story" says
A. J. Blethen, ''that / am to start pa
per here in partnership with a Mr..
Steele. l don't even know the man.
and whoever started the story is fakir."
Secretary Richardson left tonight for
Grand Forks and Bismarck. He will
be followed tomorrow evening by Gov
Mellette. The gentlemen realize the
great responsibilities now deyolve upon
them, and they are exceedingly and
wisely reticenu concerning territorial
affairs. Alex Hughes, of Bismarck, will
be here tomorrow. He is regarded by
North Dakotians here as good senate
rial timber, on whom Gilbert Pierce
should keep his eye-yes, both eyes.
HOW THEY LOVE HIM.
