From Our Regular Correspondent


WASHINGTON, March 27.-North Carolina
drew prize to-day In the 0fllce-lottery, and
Tyre Glenn has been nominated 10 be
United States Marshal for the Western dis
trict OF the State. His friends have been
working hard for hin for the last two weeks.
By The way, the North Carolina horde OF
offce-seekers new IN the city is nearly as
large as that from VIrgInis. They go to see
senator Ransom almost as often as they do
the Republican members OF Congress who are
sun here. As they know the Senator 10 be such
genial aud shrewd man they think he can
do them some good even with Republican
Administration. The Senator Is accommo-
dating al sll times, aud he has been TO the
White House on several occasions with Re-
publican acquantsnces who want General
Harrison TO understand that they are 10 good
standing with q Democratic senator. II
ought to got long ways to be sure. and il
The truth were known Harrison would pro-
badly rather Sppoint persons TO office In the
Old North State on the recommendation Of
Senator Ransom than upon the say so OF the
Republicans and renegsdes.
Most OF the North Carollnisns in the city
make headquarters at the downtown hotels,
aud nearly every night groups OF them can
be seen discussing in melancholy way the
people are dealing out the offices. The North
Carolina applicants expect nothing hut
crumbs-places IN their own State. They
haven't been brssh enough TO aspire for any
OF the big outside places except Public Print
er. They first trotted out eX-COngressman
Nichols for this place. but discovered that he
bad no show, and not much has been heard
OF his candidacy In the last two weeks.
cOTIECTORq
The first change in collectors OF customs
was made to-day, the President having sent
TO the Senate the name OF James o. Churchill
to I'LL that position at ST. Louis Ulce II. II.
Lancaster, removed. Mr.. Lancaster is a
particular friend OF Senator Vest and has
taken prominent part in local politics Tor
the psst twenty years. The appointment Of
Churchill Is due to the influence OF Dick
Kerens, OF 81. Louis, the millionaire friend
OF James q. Blaine, and also a business
partner OF Steve Elkins.
Undoubtedly Lancaster has been removed
for political reasons. lie Is a most efficient
man. and bis term would not have expired
until next year. People who have been say.
ing that this Administration would not make
changes for political reasons will do well TO
remember this case.
The Democrats who are in the city still
are hoping that Harrison will try the Hayes
Cleveland racket. IL would disrupt the Re-
publican psrty. The Republicans are howl
ing for offices, snd they Will get them sooner
or later; and the impression prevails that
Just as 5000 as tho President and Cabinet
officers can get their breath they will COM
mence TO make removals on the wholesale

working on the high moral plsne; but they
will lad plenty OF excuses to put in Repub-
lIcans, and just as soon az possible. too.
MALONE.
Malone still hangs out at John Chamber.
Inns hotel. aud his henchmen flock around
the place every day. Ex-Msyor Lamb Is the
only one OF the Virginia followers OF Ms
hone who stops there when he comes to the

Inns. Malone is not vet certain that he j.
to have even small influence with this Ad-
ministration. The best information is that
he has been told that the factions
in Virginia must harmonic and show proofs
before any one can be given a pull on the
patronage. Meanwhile Congressman Bow
den and Browne are proceeding to get in
their work, and It looks as II they will have

At any rate the aSpirants for positions are
sticking pretty close 10 the two congress-
men, apparently under the belief that they
are doing the wise thing.
DIsGUsTED.
Judge White, Of Los Angeles. Cal, who
was the temporary cbairman OF the last Ma.
tionAl Democratic Convention, Is in the city.
He says that the Republicans ont on the Pa.
cillc slope are very much disguised because
their section has received no recognition at
the hSnds OF the Administration. They
confidently expected Cabinet position, n
all Of the States on The Slope cast their
electoral votes for Harrison aud Nor
ton. Judge White thinks that wonder
fu changes are taking place polIti.
caly I'm the far West and that
Democratic prospects are getting better out
that way. But for the failure Of the Demo-
Gratis TO have their candidates on the stump
early enough last fall he thinks California
would have elected four Democratic con-
gressmen. The contests were very close.
Judge White f. a very able man and is ooc
Of the best presiding officers in the couotrG.
lie has a strong. powerful voice, and can
make a good speech.
