Marshal Parsons wrote out his resigna-
ton In Salt Lake this morning and ad-
dressed it TO the attorney general. Then
he dropped it into the postof1ce and tele-
graphed his superior officer what he had
done. He also asked the latter il ne were
not 20 be given an opportunity TO make &
statement and also to see a copy OF the
charges against him before the dep artmsnt
of justice should take decisive action upoD
his enforced resignation. Attorney-Gen-
eral Miller replied thai Mr.. Parsons had
already made q statement in his.owr be-
half, which was to the effect that he ought
not be held responsible for the shortcom-
ings Of his deputies The unsatisfactory
character Of this reply. the attorney gen.
eral said, furnished ample grounds for Mr..
Parsons removal, and he did not think it
necessary to delay matters by hearing any
thing further that Mr.. Parsons might say
upon the subject.
Attorney General Miller tells me he has
not yet decided whom he viii recommend
TO the president as Mr.. Parsons successor.
He sent this morning 10 the appointment
room for the various applications which
were made for the place at the time Mr.
applications were very long and contained
large number OF signatures, they uero
briefed for the accommodation Of the al
ney-geueral, and az late hour this
aftsrI IN they were laid on his desk. By
his courtesy L am enabled TO send you here
with the names of the more prominent OF
the applicants, together with the names OF
their principal endorsers There are
| SIX APPLICANTS FROM SALT LAKE c1rT,
namely: d. w. Gamble, Ferdinand J.
Fabian, Edwin a Ireland, John r Mo
Bride, John W. Greenmsn and Michael
| Shaughnessy. Park City furnishes two
candidates for the Office in the persons OF
Albion b. Emery and Charles B. Whitney,
while Beaver is represented by James Nc
Garry. In addition to the foregoing are
! four other gentlemen who are mentioned
as citizens of Utah, but whose place of res
idence is not given in the memoranda sub
mitted to the attorney general. These are
d. w. Perley, James McGregor, Colonel J.
E. Hudson and Arthur Pratt There are
also applications on file from number OF
persons who live outside the territory, but
as they are probably unknown in Salt Lake
it is not necessary TO mention them.
| Michael Shaughnessy presents a
FLATTERINe ARRAY OF ENDORSEMENTS
that ought TO havs great weight with the
attorney general although he, as well as
the oLher candidates, was set aside In Par
sons favor The Salt Lake chamber OF
commerce. the Rev. L. Scanlan, r. c.
Bishop and twenty other citizens OF Salt
Lake are among Mr.. Saughnessy'5 en-
dorsers. Ano in addition to these he has
also on file letters from some of the most
prominent politicians in the country.
Among these are Matthew Stanley Quay,
OF Pennsylvania, whose corrupt work in
the campaign that had just ended, had
made him for the time power in Repub-
llcan politics. Glenn StudebakeT. the rich
wagon maker Of South Bend, Ind, who has
! been q heavy contributor 10 the Republi-
cans campaign fund Ex-Attornsy General
Devens, the ultra respectable Massachu-
sets lawyer who filed the Office for four
years under Rutherford B. Hayes; Senator
John Sherman, the Chicago iceberg, and
Major Mckinley, the present governor OF
the state; the two Michigan senators and
Representative julius Caesar Burrows;
| John G. New. the politico- journalistic hus-
tier and bosom friend Of President Harri-
son of Indianapolis, and General George
Sheridan, the lannon's Republican stump
speaker.
McCride's list OF endorssrs leads of with
the name of Arthur Brown, whose sigma
ture looks as though it had been inscribed
on the paper with one OF the wooden tooth
picks which usually protrudes from his
mouth. and following him are ths names Of
thirty other members Of the Utah bar az
well as ). G.. Sutherland and Jacob Bore
man, whose avocations do not appear on
the sheet The other names are Of gentle
men living outside the territory, but who

eight other prominent citizens Of Utah, al
well as Senators Hale of Maine snd Blair
| OF New Hampshire.

from Wisconsin, while Mr.. CANDLES are
apparently all citizens of Nebraska.
Mr. Fabian hss but three endorsers. two
OF them are the Armours of Kansas City.
while the other is Representative Nsid-
ringhouss Of St. Louis.
1t is not improbable the sttorney-gen-
eral will select Mr.. Parsons successor
from among the foregoing applicants. He
did not say so, and ne was careful to asz
me to say that none Of the number had,
since Mr.. Parsons resignation had been
demanded, reapplisd for the Office.
AT the close of departmental hours today
no application bad been received for the
place, although the encouragement ex-
pected to be deluged with kilograms rsla-
tive to the matter. I asked him If be
would wait for Mr. Parsons formal rssig-
nation, which will arrive through the mails
on Sunday next, before selecting his sue
cessor. lie answered that there was no
occasion for haste nor, on the other hand,
was there any reason why he should delay
the appointment If he chose to make il a.
once.
