Everybody Wants an once.

WASHINGTON, Dec. II The call for
copies of the blue book, containing the
entire civil list of the government, to
gtther with the salary attached to each
uffice is said t) be almost unprecedented
These calls began Immediately after
the November election and have rapidly
increased in number ever since that time.
Every section of the country seems to be
deeply interested at this time in the
question of Federal patronage; but this
lnte' est seems to be conspicuously mani
fest in the South, and hundreds of letters
from that section of the Union are being
received asking for this office holders

with uuconcealed alarm by large class
Of government employees in Washington

ton with every change of administration,
hence the numerously signed petitions
which are being received by the Presi
dent asking that the petitioners be taken
