WANTS TO EUCHRE QUAY.

WANTS TO EUCHRE QUAY.
These are the candidates indorsed by
Senators Quay and Cameron, but Mr.. Har-.
mar would like to have the appointment
made before the return to the city of Senator
Quay, that someone else than the Beaver
dictator might appear to have some infu-
ence in the matter.
A delegation of Grand Army men called
in the interest of General Whitaker, OF this
city, for Second Auditor. The General is
one of the most enthusiastic Republicans in
America, and is best known for his erection
and parental care over great banner bear
ing the portraits Of the candidates for Presi-
dent and Vice President, which once every
four years he stretches across the avenue
from Willard's Hotel to Grand Army Hall,
to float during the whole campaign. He
thinks that banner ought to do the business
for him.
Lynch, the colored. ex-Congressman, and
Dr. Habercorn, the correspondent, made
brief visit to thank the President for ap-
pointing them the Fourth and Fifth Audi
tors of the Treasury, yesterday. John S.
Wise was another visitor, and he had few
pointed words to say against Boss Malone,
and in favor of the appointment of several
anti-Mahone men to Office in Virginia.
A FRIEND OF HARRIsoN's.
Little effort has been made to press any
candidate for Marshal of the District, as
this Office is always looked upon as belong
ing to personal friend of the President. It
was whispered about the White House to-
day that this very pleasant position had
been offered to Mr.. D. NJ. Ramsdell, of In
dianapolis, close friend of Mr.. Harrison,
but Indianians seemed in doubt whether the
gentleman would accept, as he would have
to abandon profitable business.
The domestic end of the White House has
had busy week. Beside house cleaning,
packing and darning and sewing etc., have
been the order, in anticipation of leaving
the President bachelor, so to speak, for the
remainder of the summer, except on his oc-
casional visits to the family at Deer Park.
This place is chosen because it is the most
convenient to Washington of the cool sum-
mer resorts. While it remains impossible
for the President to leave his duties for more
than day or two at any one time, he will
as often as possible pass Sunday with the !
family, going to the park Saturday evening
and returning Monday morning, though no
time is as yet fixed for the departure.
THE WHITE HOUSE IN ORDER.
Mrs. Harrison feels that she can now |
leave the Executive Mansion in decent |
plight. 1t has been thoroughly overhauled; |
the woolen carpets and curtains have every |
where been replaced by mating, oil cloth
and linen shades The lady of the White
House has had little time for seeing her
friends this week, as it is no small task to
arrange the wardrobe for the entire sum-
mer's absence from the base of supplies.
Mrs. Mckee has sat beside the President
oftener in his afternoon drives in the buggy
than has Mrs. Harrison. The nurses in
their white caps, with their infant charges
on their knees. take the country air in the
landau in the afternoons. Mr..
j. B. Mckee, the Presidents son-in-law,
will arrive from indianapolis next week to
assist in removing his family to Deer Park
and establishing them there comfortably for
the summer.
The diplomatic sail to Mt. Vernon and
down the Potomac, that was postponed on
account of the death of Allen Thorndyke
Rice, who was personal friend of the
President and of the Secretary of State,will
probably occur next week. Secretary
Blaine had invited the members of the
llplOmaLlc corps To- meet Mr.. Julian
Pauncetote, the new British Minister, and
t was to be, and will be, the event Of the
week in which it occurs
AN INTERESTING MAN.
As society sees more of Sir j Julian Paunce-
ote it has more and more occasion to con-
.ratulate itself upon really valuable ac-
uisition to its circles. In private life Sir
Tulian is found to be an interesting man.
lie can stand up in his dignity with grand
ir, but as a rule he is courteous to affa-
ility and kindlipess. He is seen to the best
dvantage after dinner, when the strains of
music are heard in the drawing room. He is
echnical musician, of high quality for an
mateur. In his younger days he used to
ompose, and played the piano with consid-
rable skill. He has sonorous baritone
oice and used to sing. Whether Washing
IN society will make the most of the Brit
III Minister'S social qualities remains to be
cen, but certain it is, he has repeatedly ex-
ressed his opinion of it, that he looks for
ard with much pleasure to his term of
ssidence in country where he has already
lany close friends.
Mrs. Annie Louise Powell sang at the
White House last night, by invitation of |
Lrs Mckee, rendering her lullaby, by,
aby, By, which had been dedicated to the
grandchild. She was warmly !
