WASHINGTON. March 9.-President
Harrison had an easy time of it to-day
by reason of the departure of the parties
who sought no Office. but nevertheless
shook his hand and absorbed his time.
Two delegations, however, presented
the names of favorite sons for office.
The Iowa delegation, headed by Senator
Allison, called and had long
conference. They presented three
the president: Gen. futile for
commissioner of pensions; eX-Gov.
Stone, for commissioner of the general
land office; and eX-C0ngreSSman Hep
burn. for commissioner of patents. The
claims of the gentlemen named were
also fully presented. and the president
was given to understand that the Re-
publican party in Iowa stood ready TO
indorSe these nominations unanimously.
Iowa is always modest, and in asking
for three of the lest places at his dis
posal, has undoubtedly excited Har-
risou's warm admiration and respect
for her unObtrusiveness.
SECRETARY WINDOW
IS rushed almost to death. He never
had so many friends before in his life.
They come in such numbers that he has
been obliged to play Dick Swiveler on
them, and dodge around side streets and
dark corridors. Tonight he delegated
his first assistant secretary to act for
him, while he hid in the assistants
room; but even there he was corraled
by Vice President Morton, who had i'm
pOrtant matters to present. EX-RegiS-
ter Luce, of the land office at Dead
wood, S. D., who is an old Indianian
and Chicago editor, is here seeking APP
pointment to his old position.
A WEDDING.
James A. Frear, of Hudson, Wis, and
Miss Hattie E. Wood, of this city, were
married at the Waugh NJ. E. chapel this
evening by Rev. Price. John E. Lowrey,
of st. Cloud. Mimi, acted as grooms-
man, and Miss Lulu McCreery. of
Washington, as bridesmaid. The ushers
were MeSsrS. j. B. Gross, of Hudson; J.
&. MORRISON and j. A. Gross, of Wash
ington, and Mr.. Cole, of New York. A
brief informal bridal reception was held
in class room of the church and re-
sumed at the residence of Mr.. and Mrs.
A. Il. Frear, 223 Eighth street north
east. Later in the evening Mr.. and
Mrs. Frear left for their failure home in
Wisconsin. Asa ii. Frear, father of the
groom, has held an important position
past ten years and is regarded highly
here for his efficiency.
AN OFFENSIVE PARTISAN,
Judge James Spencer, of Dakota, may
as well commence packing his gripsack.
He is regarded at the department of
justice as one of those creatures de-
nominated by Grover Cleveland as
offensive partisans," and under that
political obloquy he will be obliged to
greet his successor before the flowers
bloom in the spring. [ have not seen
IT, but reliable Dakota man states that
- W. c. Arnold is here with Church's
resignation in his pocket, to be used if
advantageous to him (ArnoldJ, but to
be destroyed rather than let ii inure to
Mellette'S benefit. There is no doubt
that this statement can be verified, as
it comes from responsible party.
