nonoen for the Commissionership of
pensions-The Skirmish of the Geor-
gians
WASHINGTON, March 22.-The Office
saekers have been trying oil the afternoon
and evening to find out what nominations
we're in the big blue envelope which
Assistant Private Secretary Pruden took
to the capitol to-day, but had to bring back
again unopened because the Senate was just
sdiourning when he entered the chamber.
Corp. Tanner says that member of the
cabinet told him that his nomination was in
tbe envelope for commissioner of pensions.
Toe friends of ex-Representative Watkins
Of Indiana, Gresham man who rendered
valuable services in the late campaign, say
that his nomination for commissioner of
nublc lands was among them.
Senator Allison is quoted as saying
that he thinks the nomination Of
ex-Representative Hepburn of Iowa for
interstate commissioner vas in the envel-
one. This would be a strange appointment,
for Hepburn was defeated for reelection
because, being counsel for the Chicago, Bur-
Ington and Quincy, he opposed the inter
state commerce bill.
The bulk of Secretary Pruden's envelope
indicated that it contained large number
of nominations The batch which the SEN
ate will receive tomorrow will, therefore,
probably be generous one.
SCRAMBLE OF THE GEoRGIANs.
The Longstreet men are positive that the
nomination If E. A. Angler for district at
torney of the Northern district will be sent
in within day or two. They practically
coucede the probability that Messrs. Cor
bett and Erwin will b. appointed in the
Southern district. Col Locke thinks he
has succeeded in shutting Pledger out of the
Brunswick collectorship.
THE PUBLIC PRINTER.
The President to-day told a friend of ex-
representative Nichols of North Carolina
that the New Workers had misunderstood
him. He had said that he would not take
the public printer from New York, but had
not said that be would come from the west
MIR. Nichols thinks he will be appointed.
