peasantry are suffering for bread. vet the

WASHINGTON CITY. June 3.-Presideut
Harrison is confronted with one OF the
most embarrassing problems that he has
encountered since he was inducted into
Office. 1t is the selection of a postmaster
for indianapolis out of no less than dozen
aspirants, all of whom are his old netgh-
bors and co-workers in local politics, and
at least four of them among his warmest
personal friends. One of these four is
Maj. Moses McLain, a wealthy real estate
agent, who was one of the original Harri-
son men. He Is bachelor. has plenty Of
money, but wants TO add to his wealth an
official title. The three other applicants
most prominent are Gen. MGnnnis, a
well-knowu politician; Gen. John Coburn,
ex-mayor, and Col. John A Wildman, ex-
postmaster.
Three Too Many for Comfort.
All OF these men have won military
titles and most of them We're intimately
associated with Mr.. Harrison in the army.
iai. McLain lost an arm at ReSaCa, while
fighting alongside OF President Harrison.
Each of them claims to have rendered the
president some special personal favor, aud
all of them spent several days
he
nominating convention. 1t is not Office in
general that these four distinguished
friends OF the president want, else he
might placate the disappointed trio with
something else, but each merely wants the
home postoffice, not for its emolumeuts
but as a distinct personal recognition of
his eminent services.
Captain Likely to Win.
The president has entertained many In
dianapolis politicians since his return
from the west, who called 10 give advice
in regard to the appointment. And now
he has about decided that the best way out
of the dilemma Is to ignore the two gener-
ais, one colonel and the mayor, and so
little further down the rank and take up
Capt" Ed Thompson, who has been
deputy time out of mind, and while gen
orally accredited good officer is regarded
as passive sort of politician.
Not Big Enough to Go Round.
Capt. Thompson viii not get the Office
because OF his fTvor with the administra-
ton so much Is for the reason that he is
the best political expedient. The presi-
dent would much prefer 70 give the Office
to either OF his four enthusiastic friends.

consequence i induced 10 the fearful
