They would stand neither better nor
worse chance of getting Office because they
were newspaper men. But the thing that
| the president wanted understood was that
! they could never have Office to hold as sine

to men i'm all other occupations as we'll
| There was an idea that man could hold
an Office in consideration of his past ser
vices and not give his personal attention
to the Office The president intends to put
am end to this idea. If a man accepts an
appointment to office he must give up his
other calling and attend to the work. Be
yond this there was no thought Of dis
eliminating against any line of bust
ness among the candidates for office. Mr.
| Dockery then went to the postmaster gen

the fourth-class offices and Mr.. Bissell as-
surcd him that he had never contemplated

office treated us sinecures by men who were
oevotmg their attention mainly TO their
newspapers, or their merchandising

other selection before coming here. The
NissoWans show chat they have very HtJle
hope OF Aansurs stock. They Will not s1y
but they show that they do not expect to
land HIM IN the Office.
The report comes from number of
sources that j. q. BARTLETT the republican
from SBuTh Dakota is the who will
have charge Of the land Office. If this is
true he will be oneof the exceptions against
old Office holders, for the president made
him the judge OF the territorial court dur
ing his previous term.
Messrs. Williams and Gable took Judge
Browning to see Secretary smith and they
had a very pleasant time of it, but the Sec
retary afforded them no hint of what was
passing in the presidents mind about the
commissionership.
