Plaoes-NO Appointments Yet.
Hon. Z. NJ. GilSeson, the handsome
and urbane new Internal Revenue COL
! lectOr for West Virginia, has been at
the Windsor since Thursday, presum-
ably to determine upon a selection from
! the several candidates to complete his
/ official household. His purpose was
soon noised about among aspirants and
their friends, and in due course the
new Collector had more callers than
could sit comfortably in his private
apartment. 1t is said that as many as
fifteen or twenty gentlemen were
sounding the new Collector at one time,
but with only ordinary success, as he
seems 10 understand the boys win
ming ways when they want to
get at the marrow Of the thing. Messrs.
Clark Hamilton, Andy Patterson, A. H.
Wiedebusch, Charlie Hoffman and John
Koch are among the hustlers from Ohio
county for the plums within the Collect
or's gift. 1t is stated that If the Col
l~ector's headquarters GO to ParkerS-
burg Mr.. Hamilton will not be a candi-
date. There is a growing belief that
Ohio county is not likely to get more
than W places, although from the rev.
enue this city turns in, 1t might claim
twice two AID not act the pig. As a re-
suit Of this belief, more than one candi-
date is very uneasy.
Messrs. Koch and Hoffman, who are
seeking the guagerShip for this
district, and who are max
ing q very active canvass,
are prepared, il is said, rather than
have that position 60 to some one ont
Of the county, to call upon Mr.. Gil
kesOn and state that either would be
perfectly satisfied with the selection of
the other. This is genuine self sacri-
fee and indicates a devotion TO prinef-
pie that might be emulated with profit
and happiness by many a disappointed
candidate.
Mr.. GilkeSon was ont the pike riding
yesterday afternoon, admiring the most
beautiful valley on the continent.
He leaves for Washington this even
ing, thence for his home at Romney.
After he has composed himself in that
quiet nook for a brief period, we may
expect to hear something drop. He has
relatives In this city, among whom are
the Otis and the Lists.
Wheeling people Will be very much
disappointed II that gentleman does not
establish his headquarters among them.
They claim this consideration on the
strength Of the large amount Of revenue
collected here, two-thirds Of the total
coming from this county.

United States Marshal Vinson and

rience in making arrests recently.
