important bearing upon the success of the
next administration. Mr.. Ziemann is
steward of the fashionable Richelieu Hotel
in Chicago, and he says that he cares not
who make up the Cabinet so long as he can
make the dinners. With his dinners he is
sure that General Harrison's digestion will
never get off the track and his liver never
60 back on him, and with these conditions
he believes that General Harrison could not
be ANYTHING but a cheerful and popular
President if he tried. 1t is not known what
success he met with in his application to
General Harrison.
FAME THRUST UPON THEM.
Eastern statesmen of big and little caliber,
who have been keeping away from Indian
apolis since the election on account of the
publicity that attends visits here, are likely
to become famous in spite of themselves
The clerks at the New Denison Hotel
where many of the political callers generally
go, have gotten into the habit of writing
names upon the register just for fun when
the regular business doesn't come near
enough to fill in page to suit them. Once
in while they strike, Intentionally or un-
intentionally, a name that belongs to a
man whose presence here would make a
stir. Major E. j. Anderson, the State Con-
troller, and Republican hustler. of New
Jersey, came near being made great by
hundred papers and seven languages in that
way this morning "E. J. Anderson, New
Jersey" appeared upon the New Denison
register last evening, and when correspond
ents wanted their cards sent up to the room
which purported to be assigned to him, the
clerks said that he had already left the
city. When dozen different correspondents
had concocted their different stories to ac-
count for the flying visit of the Major, the
least sensational of which made the Majors
political associate, ex-senator Sewell, a
certainty for Secretary of War, the hotel |
people saw that the matter was getting seri-
GUS and owned up that the name had been
written in by one of the clerks to help fill
up the register. as it had been a dull day.
A FUNNY WORLD.
The funny part of it was that the sigma
ture happened to be a pretty fair imitation |
of that of Major Anderson. This morning |
the name of Henry Waterson appeared upon |
the register at the same hotel and made a |
little sensation until it was found that that |
too, was bogus entry. You never know
what funny things there are in the world
until you have met Hoosier hotel clerk.
L. Bradford Prince, formerly Justice of
the Supreme Court in New Mexico, and
well known as lecturer and writer on
topics connected with that part of the coun-
try, made call upon General Harrison to-
day, and spent some time in unfolding to
the President-elect his views upon the
question of the admission of New Mexico.
of course he thinks that the territory ought
to be let in.
WOULD LIKE SOME PATRONAGE.
A far Western visitor, who probably
counted for more than the ex-Justice, was
George Christ, the member of the Republi-
can National Committee from Arizona He
was on his way to New York, and he talked
federal patronage and the Mormon question
into General Harrison for some time. The
Mormons are coming over from Utah into
Arizona at rate that is alarming
the other inhabitants of the Ter
ritory, and Mr.. Christ thinks
that something ought to be done
about it. Incidentally he thinks that
George Christ is the best man in the world
to control the Federal offices in Arizona for
four years from the 4th of March next. He
did not put it to General Harrison in lust
that way, however. What he said was to
the effect that Broken down politicians
have been pastured out by recent admins
trations upon our Territory, and we think it
is time that our own people should be placed
in charge of affairs
Although he comes from Arizona. Mr.. |
Christ passes for a millionaire: at least he
has a mine he SAYS he would not sell for
s., 100000 He showed about the hotel a
magnificent nugget of unusual size as a
sample OF what his mine could do when it ,
could get started.
MEN OF LITTLE FAITH.
Two other Territorial people who turned
up to-day were Delegate-elect Carter, of
and Delegate-elect Matthews of ,
Dakota, both on their way to Washington.

hoped there would be occasion for their serv-
