cruclstingiy dull day all around town, and
the politicians al seemed TO be Mt ioss TO
know what 10 do and what 10 expect Tnc
mild weather has had the effect OF taking the
pap-hunters out OF the hotel loLbies to the
sidewalks, and 10 front OF the Ebbitt which
has been the political exchange. the office
seekers were arranged IN groups. Monday
Is an off.dsy for the politicians AZ the
White House. The President does not see
many politicians on Mondays, but OF course
there are always some exceptions. DE gave
an audience to Boss Quay, and 1t II said ths.
the row between Quay and the Ohio crowd
is being patched up, and that Quay's man.

pensstion for his failure TO get the
solicitorship OF internal revenue, which has
been promised Alphonso Hart, OF Ohio. The
Florida Republicans, Just Ike the Virginia,
Alabama, and Louisiana Republican,, are
divided into so many factions that General
Harrison Is disgusted with the strife, and lis
said will pick up an outside man as a warn

PUBLIC PRINTER.
Several big appointments are looked for In
the near future. Frank w. Palmer, OF Chi
cago, who IS thought 10 have fair chance OF
being Benedicts successor down at the pub
lie printing Office, Is here aud saw the Presi-
dent to-day. He IL strongly backed by Hi
nois aud Indiana members. MIR. Osborne,
OF the Les Angeles Evening Express, is an =.
other formidable candidate, and three
weeks ago he thought he had sure
thing VI II but Mr.. Palmer has been
getting away with him. The chances OF ex-
Congressman Nichols, Of North Csrolina,
are no longer considered worth anything.
lie has had considerable backing, but the
North Carolina fellows have been little too
thick with sherman, OF OHIO, To accomplish
much under this Administration. Blaine
and bis followers are constantly stsbblng
every man who Is suspected OF having ever
had anything 10 do with the Sherman boom
for the presidency. This is why would~be
Boss Billy Mshone, Of Virginia, has been
travelling over such stony ground since
the 4th OF March.
KICKBRs.
The town is Just now full OF kickers, who
nre as mad rs hornets because President
Harrison is moving so slowly. Congress-
mar Bailey Browne, OF Virginia, vDs KICK
ing furiousiy FEW days ago, but Is now ssld
10 be cooling down under promises that he
shall have q few appointments IN the near
future. Not many nights ago he was IN aroom
with several OF bis friends, among the number
being Editor Volt, Of the fredericksburg
Free Lance, and Mr. Browne, declared ac-
cording 20 good authority that II Harrison
didn't hurry up and do something be

caucus when Congress meets. This WAS only
a bluff, however, but MIR. Browne was then
feeling exceedingly blue, and be hasn't got
entirely over it yet.
BLAZE.
Some of the friends Of eX.AttorneY-Gene-
raj Blair, OF Virginia went 10 the Depart
ment OF Justice again today TO see what his
chances for the soiicitor-generalshIp were,
but they got little or no consolation.
