THE LOAVES AND FISHES,
SOME NAMES SUGGESTED AS CANDl-
DATES FOR FEDERAL POSITIONS.


Many Of Them Good Mon But II Cannot
be Predicted Now Who Will DO the
Lucky OneS---Don't be in too Big n
Hurry Gentlemen.
CHARLESTON S. C., Nov. 11.--lt is
apparently the generally accepted fact
that no one wul contest Major Mowry's
claims upon the Charleston postoilicc.
Major Mowry has filled his position
with an ability which has found recogni-
tion even with Il Republican regime. lie
was first appointed bv Mr.. Cleveland,
has filed his office with great fidelity
and general acceptability TO the pt oplc,
and would go nto the race. if there he'd
been any talk of one, backed by re-
cord which would seriously handicap an
opponent.
Perhaps the Office in which the g,eat.
est degree OF interest ls displayed and
felt Is that now held by Colonel john
bton, collector OF The port. The first
gentleman who was mentioned rs Colo
mel Johnston'e successor and one who
will, by reason of his personal popular-
ty, ability and past recor /, command the
lOval support Of a very strong following,
was Capt. George D. Bryan. lie has as
competitors, however, a number of cam
didates, each oi whom would fill the po-
sition with great credit 10 themselves
and with entire satisfaction to the public.
They will all moreover be ardently sup
ported by large number Of friends.
Those whose names were heard IN this
connection yesterday were Major f.
Willis, Mr.. j. A. Enslow, Mr.. A. G..
Kaufman and Mr.. l.. G. Trenholm.
Perhaps the position for which there
will be the larnest number OF candidates
is the United States District Attorney
ship, now hello by Mr.. Lathrop. EX-
Congressman William Elliott. it is un.
derstC cd, heat's the list of candidates,
with odds selling somewhat in his favor.
Gen. LeRoy +. Ycumans, of Columbia,
who held The place before, it is said.
would like TO hold it again. He will be
opposed in his own city by Mr.. G. a.
Douglass. Charleston will be repre-
sented in the field by Solicitor w. St. J.
Jervey, who has just secured such
complimen AIRY endorsement from his
district.
In the up. country it Is reported that
an effort will be made 10 induce the
Hon. ]. G.. Sheppard, OF Edgctield, TO be-
come a candidate. Col. Joseph II. Earle,
now of Greenvllle, Is reported as desir-
Gus of enteriDH into national seIvl;e in
this way. Otter candidates mentioned
are: w. PERI! Murphy Of Waltcrboro,
Walter Hazard of Georgetown, and II.
Nj. Raysor of Orangcburg. A trio of
gentlemen, who are intimately connected
with the present administration, who
are spoken of i'll connection with tho OF
flee are: Mr.. w. &. Ben CT OF Abbeville,
Col. Robert .Aldrich OF Darnwcll, and
Mr.. J. Stanyarnc Wilson Of Spartan
burg. The public will probably remem-
ber that these gentlemen have been cam
didates before his.
Another candidate who has already
been publicl ociorc tho people will be
Mr.. T. d. Jelvey. The fact that he
was the mom1ar of tAe South Carolina
, delegation who held out for Cleveland's
] nomination in the Chicago Convention is
considered point in his favor, while bis
well known connecuun with the party
which drew up and passed in the May
Convention the resolution previously
referred to is advance Il as point against
him.
Among the gentlemen who want
United States Marshal John |. Cunning.
hams position there is mentioned MIR.
E Miller Boykin, of Camden. Mr..
Boykin he's occupied the place once be-
fore, and it is generally believed that he
would like 10 get into old shoes once
more the Hon. j. William Stokes wants
the place also, but people think there is
a possibility of Mr.. Cleveland's having
read that third party editorial which ap-
peared IN the Cotton Plant Immediately
after the Chicago nomination. It's also
suggested tba, as MIR. Siokcs was not
only in the May convention, but held
out against Mr.. Clevelfnd to the last at
Chaicago, lie VII. be somcwat handicap-
ped.
The fact thai tie Hon. w. ID. Evans
OF Marlboro vas treated so badly by
Congressman- t lected j. l.. McIauiin in
particular. and The powers that be in
general, is tho I9h. to render hi II avail
able, and it is Understood he whould not
be adverse TO Il .cep.ing the position,
The only o hex position tor which
candidates are plentiful yet awhile is The
Internal Revenue Collt cioIshp. IL is
common reporI that any one OF The tol'
loving gentlemen would be glad 10 be-
GO ne the successor OF Mr. Wnhster:
ID. +. Bradley Of Plckens, Nj. l.. D~n-
aldson of Gree avill, Is. +. Perry oi re
