Especial to THE HERALD.-Examiner Dispatch
WASHINGTON, March 10.-The California
delegation, following the example of the
other state delegations, will hold a meeting
on Monday next, to which will be invited
persons whom they will recommend to the
president as suitable appointees for the
various federal offices in the state and else
where.
Thenumber of these appointments is very
large, amounting already into the hundreds.
Senator Sargent naturally reserves the
lions share, but the share of the others of
the delegation is relatively quite large.
CAN'T ALL HAVE IT.
The following are the names of the bet
ter known of these gentlemen. D. o. Carr,
of St Helens: Paris Kilburn, of Salinas,
and E. p. Danforth, of San Francisco are
each making a strong fight for the naval
Office of the port of San Francisco. General
| Vandever is championing the cause OF Mr..
Kilburn, while Mr. Danforth's claims are
receiving the attention of Representative
! Morrow.
TO GO AWAY FROM HOME.
DR. Hurley, of San Bernardino, is a can
! date for the surveyor generalShip of Arr
IONA. But DR.. Hurley, who is already on
| the ground and has wasted several weeks
IL Washington, to say nothing of the eX-
! penseS attending his trip will probably dis
cover that President Harrison is in earnest
in his declaration regarding home rule for
the territories and that the application of
all outsiders for these positions will be
summarily rejected.
Col. Chamberlain, the president of the
Design club, of San Francisco, is in the
city. Colonel Chamberlain is DESTROYS of
succeeding Mr.. Bryan as postmaster at San
Francisco. The report among the Califor-
MIA delegation is that Colonel Chamberlain
viii be delegated. Another applicant for
this position is Mr.. Backus, also of San
Francisco. Two of the candidates for the
office of surveyor Of the port are John Nor
ton, son of ex-senator Morton, Of Indiana,
and H. W. Byington, the present mayor Of
San Francisco.
NECK AND NECK.
Colonel J. 7. Jackson, formerly editor of
the San Francisco Post and Timothy Guy
Phelps, the recent republican candidate for
congress in the Fifth district, are having
neck and neck race for the colectOrship of
the port
Editor L. T. Osborne, of Los Angeles is
making q good honest fight for the Office of
public printer. Mr.. Osborne has made
himself very popular since his arrival in
Washington by his modest and gentle
manly demeanor and an excellent sentiment
has been aroused i'll his favor by such of
the new administration as have been
brought into personal relation with him.
The list of applications for this office is
very large and embraces great number of
candidates from the various states Mr.
Osborn believes that his chances are quite
as good as any Of his competitors and the
impression exists in well informed circles
that if the California delegation do their
duty by him, they can give him a command
ing position in the race.
S. w. Stamford and General w. H.
Demond, of San Francisco, have each filed
strong endorsements for the superintend-
ency of the mint General John f. Sheet
ran, of San Francisco, and F. c. Frank of
San Jose, have fixed their eyes on the col
lectOrship of internal revenue at San Fran
cisco. The Examiner was in error a few
evenings since in stating that H. B. Moore
house of San Francisco is an applicant for
the attorney generalship of the interior
department. Mr.. MoorehOuse's ambition,
it appears, does not extend beyond the
United States district attOrneyship for the
northern district of California.
HE WOULD SAIL.
''Uncle'' Billy Williams of San Francisco,
would like to go abroad. and the mission to
him exactly.
Southern California is not behind the
northern section of the state in the number
of patriarchs present who are willing to
sacrifice their time in the interest of Uncle
Sam.
WANTS TO GET BACK.
John w Green, of Los Angeles, who was
removed by President Cleveland as post
master at that place, is an applicant again
for his position, with, it is said, excellent
prospects of success.
Captain w. H. Seaman and Colonel NJ. r.
Vernon, OF Los Angeles, are candidates for
the registership of the land office, while
Major L. S. Butler of San Pedro. Henry
S. Payne and Charles L. Fisher, of Los
Angeles, and John Stone, of Ventures,
would like the receivership of the name
office.
For the collectorship of the port of San
Diego, ". d. Hamilton, Captain w. H.
Bailhache and Mr.. Ferry, brother of ex-
Senator Ferry, are promising candidates.
James Copeland, Major Chapman and Mr..
Mason are three of the candidates whose APP
plicatiOns are already on file for the post
Office of San Diego. Walter H. Holmes, of
San Francisco, has filed his application for
the position of pension agent at that place.
General Theodore S. West, of Los
Angeles, who is supposed to regard resi-
dence in Washington with some favor, has
made application for the marshalship Of the
District of Columbia This Office, which is
worth $4,000 year, was frequently filled
under previous republican administrations
by negro.
1t is not improbable that President Harri-
son, who is friend of the black race, will
follow the precedent laid down by his pre-
decessors, and will reserve the Office with
its fat salary accompaniment, for another
gentleman Of color
MUST HAVE SOMETHING.
Mr. West is not proud. He assures Sena-
tor Stanford that failing to secure the mar
shalship of the District of Columbia he will
accept anything else that is offered.
