commissionership OF the general land
office.
The fact that Mr.. Mitchell OF Connecti-
cut, dark horse, was named for the
patent office aroused the suspicion that
possibly another dark horse may charge
to the front for the land office, although
it is believed that ex-senator Chilcett still
retains the lead.
The Colorado delegation are extremely
anxious that this matter shall be speedily
determined so that they may proceed to
concentrate upon the selections to be
made for local appointmentments, whicll
must remain in allegiance until Mr.. Chill
colts affair shall be settled. The Colo
RADIO colony, however, are very sanguine
OF Mr.. ChilcOtt's appointment.
