AMONG THE
CANDIDATES.
Republicans Preparing for the
Coming Grand Struggle.
Markham and tina Appraiser-Generalshi Con-
test-Mcrrow's Supporters Confident
Club Meetings.

In a communication to an afternoon pa
per correspondent charges that Markham
recently paid visit to Washington, ostensi-
bly, in the interest of the Soldiers Home at
Santa Monica, and while there endeavOred
to secure an appointment as Appraiser
General. 1t is further stated that Congress-
man Vandever is aware Of the circumstance
and refuses to deny it,
An investigation shows that the story
was manufactured for the occasion, and is
being circulated, it is claimed, by the sup
porters of Congressman Morrow to injure
Markham's candidacy. 1t seems that when
the bill creating the Office became a law
Dir. Morrow went in person to the Presi-
dent and asked for the appointment He
was told that his appointment was an
impOssitility under the Federal Constitu-
ton, as he had voted for the bill. This, of
course, prevented the consideration of his
name in connection with the Office
Congressman Vandever was telegraphed
concerning the matter and denied most pos
itiyely that Markham was a candidate for
the appointment. His version of the story is
that while the latter was in Washington they
together called upon President Harrison
for the purpose of urging for the place the
name Of Fl. q. Osborne Of the Los Angeles
Express. The President listened with res
pectful attention, but during the interview
informed them that he could not see his
way clear to granting their request, as Mr.
Osborne did not in his opinion, possess the
necessary qualifications. The matter was
then abandoned and Markham returned
home.
few days later, however, Mr.. Osborne
wired Congressman Vandever asking him
to make another effort in his behalf. This
the Congressman did, and hurrying to the
White House urged the President to recon-
slider his decision. Mr.. Harrison was obdu-
rate and fatty refused, whereupon Mr..
Vandever became angry and said:
" Mr.. President 1t seems to me that all
you care about the Pacific Coast is to fur
niSh majorilieS for you. | do not believe |
could name a man in California whom you
would appoint. Even my friend Markham
would not suit you, it seems to me-"
Try me and see, replied the President,
looking up with a smile.
This ended the matter, as Mr.. Nandever
was not authorized to use MarkhamS
name, and the former was compelled to
withdraw. considerably dissatisfied. Mark
ham was then notified that he could secure
the place, but he repudiated the idea, say
ing that he was in the fight for the guter-
material nomination. and could not desert
his friends in the field. The offer was
tempting one, as the position is for life,
and has attached to it a $1,000 salary.
Mr.. Osborne was also telegraphed yester-
day, and denied that Markham had ever
been a candidate for the Appraisership,
bat on the contrary had faithfully aided
him in his fight for the appointment.
