Harrison a Figure-Head.

The managers of the republican party here,
great and small, recognize that Blaine is the
leader. They recognize that Blaine controls
Harrison. They recognize that Blaine made
Harrison president, and while they are willing
to cOncede all the eclat that Harrison can win
from his artificial position, still they are not
willing that Harrison should have the call on
the usufruct of Office. In other words, what
understood and conceded is that Harrison's
name should be attached to all nominations for
office; that he will stand in the front place in
all professions and be the fgure-head on all
occasions still that Blaine is the leader of the
party and that Blaine's men should be COM
mitted to Office without question or conference.
Blaine, of course, has sympathy for the
mugwumps. Nobody more clearly than he I'M
derstands that it was the mugwumps that kept
him out of the presidency in 1884. Blaine is
very human and has a score to settle with the
mugwumpS

Unidentified Nominee.
Washington Special.

washington Special
There was not a prominent Indiana repub-
lican in the hotel lobbies this afternoon when
the presidents appointments were announced
who could tell who William L. Dunla p, the
nominee for L. S. district marshal for that
state, was. Nor could any one be found who
could say that they had ever heard of him.
Tonight, however, messenger in the pension
bureau, who came from Indiana, showed up at
the Ebbitt who assumed to know something
about the prospective district marshal. He
says that Mr.. Dunlap is a very respectable
grocery-keeper, residing in Franklin, and that
he is known as a republican, but never very
active. No one knows upon what influence or
on whose recommendation he was appointed.
1t is therefore presumed that Mr.. Dunlap is a
personal appointment of the presidents.

Democrats Resigning.

Democrats Resigning.
Now that Postmaster Jones is about to step
down and out and Postmaster Wallace is TO
step up and IN there is general demoraliza-
ton among the employees in the postoffice
There Is an awe-inspiring mob of republican
ward-heelers hanging hungrily around
the doors of the place. They follow
the new postmaster about like n
parcel of little chickens running after their
mother. During the last four years there has
never been parade but what the republicans
could hardly be restrained from wheeling into
the building. They have almost starved during
the four years. and now they are again given
the opportunity for a square meal, while acting
as the servants of the people. The slate, so far
as the important positions are concerned,
is about as follows: Ed p. Thomson, assist
ant postmaster; Robert Martindale, superin-
tendent of the mails, and Newt Wilmington,
chief of the registrysde partment. For superin-
tendent of carriers there are half dozen can
didates, from an alderman up TO doorkeeper of
the third gallery at English's. The colOred
people want one-fourth of the positions and
they should get them, as they con-
clusively prove that ont of the 1900 re-
publican voters in the city, 5000 are colored.
Some of the democratic employees are showing
go. James o. George, Newton Abbott and
John Mcdonald, carriers, have already sent in
their designations TO take effect when Post
master Jones retires. Wallace is contemplate

methods as soon as he is installed. A num-

ALL ABOUT "LIGE."
He Runs When He Sees Rat-HIs Best
style of Letter.

Washington Special
I learn from the most reliable authority that
Elijah Whitfield Halford. private secretary to
the president of the United States, is awfully
afraid OF rats. He will face tiger in the
jungles of indianapolis or dog on the high
way to Washington without finching, but
when 1t comes to rats Elijah runs, and the
white house is swarming with them. This
friend of Elijah's tells me that after the fire
in Chicago, when they were both resid-
ing there, the streets of the city were full of
rats which had been driven into the streets by
the destruction of their homes, and he says
the reason Elijah went back to indianapolis
was the terror those rodents constantly excited
in his breast. While walking along the street
one night with Elijah he was amazed TO see the
latter give Jump and shrek, and start off
at pace and in a manner that reminded him
of the incident in the scriptures where the evil
one entered into the swine, and they all ran
violently down into the sea and were drowned.
He followed after "Lige" at the best speed he
could make, and finally overlook BIN, when he
asked an explanation.
Didn't you see that rat?" said Mr. Hal
ford.
NO." replied the friend, 81 didn't see any
rat"
"Well, I did," responded Elijah, land al
ways scream and run when see them. can
not help it."
Here is a sample of Elijah's best style of let
ter-writing:

Two Cabinets at Work.
Washington Special

Republican senators are asking, with some
asperity, whether Steve Elllins is of more con-
sequence than they are. They have to talk to
the president in groups, and pretty fast at that.
Three minutes for a representative and FIVE
minutes for a senator is about the maximum.
But Elkins marches into the presidents Office
while statesmen are waiting in the ante-room,
and he sees the president half an hour at a
time all by himself Senators are making daily
calls at the white house soliciting offices and
getting none. but Mr. Elkins' friends get in
from day TO day. Stephen is at the head of a
kitchen cabinet which he is collecting around
himself, and which promises to be stronger
than the drawing-room cabinet

John C. New ut the Capital.

Col. John C. New of Indianapolis can
have his choice, it is understood. between
the Austrian mission and the consul-ge neral-
ship at London. He is inclined to go to Vienna,
where the work is light and life is pleasant.
The colonel is not quite satisfied with the way
the administration has been conducted during
the past ten days. His appointment, however,
will come straight from the hand of the pres-
dent himself. That is not an especial honor be-
slowed upon the colonel, for all the appoint
ments to the foreign service up to the present
time, it is understood, have been made by Gen.
Harrison without consulting the state depart

Mrs. Harrison set her foot down to-day upon
the indiscriminate caller, and those who ex-
pected to follow their cards into the presence
of the lady of the white house, after she had
announced il over and over and time and again
that she was resting this week, etc, were disap-
pointed as they certainly deserved to be.
However, appointments were made for those
who were sent away, and their visiting cards
returned to them. After the president was
through holding his cabinet meeting up stairs,
Mrs Harrison held meeting of her cabinet
members downstairs in the red parlor. Mrs.
Blaine, Mrs Window, Mrs Noble and Mrs.
Strong were among the callers.

One of the prominent Indiana republicans
in the city called on the president to-day to
talk over Indiana matters and to suggest GER

patiently, and finally said to the gentleman:

a rebuke, but as an intimation to the Indian
ians now here that they need not pile up hotel
bills in Washington in order to give the presi-
dent good advice regarding Indiana appoint
ments

Hawkins Was Treated Differently.


Yesterday an applicant for presidential
pOstoffice in Indiana, who is now in Washing
ton, called at the white house and saw Presi-
dent Harrison, with whom he was well &C
quainted before he was nominated for the
presidency. The would-be postmaster stated
his case, confidently believing that the presi-
dent would be glad tc favorably act on his
application as soon as possible. After some
preliminary talk he got down to business, when
Mr.. Harrison said:
81 understand that the commission of the
present incumbent will not expire for about
twelve months. Is that so?"

is correct"
