INDIANA PLACE HUNTERS.
Fresh Lot Appearing at the Capital-Shank-
Inns Proposed Newspaper Venture.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, March 13.-So many strin-
gent rules, intended to bar out the office
seekers. have been promulgated by the
President aud members of his Cabinet that
the old crop OF patriots have about disap-
peared and new lot are appearing on the
ground. Ex-Congressman Robert Lowry.
of Fort Wayne, appeared In the ranks OF
the noble army of office seekers to-day. He
denied to inquiring acauaintances that he
was seeking place. but those nearest the
appointing power gave out the informa-
tion that Judge Lowry wants judgeship
in one of the Territories.
William UBrien, of Lswrenceburg, has
arrived to press the claims of his father-in-
law, DR.. Hunter, for the collectorship of
internal revenue. 1t is related that Repre-
sentative Holman is in great gleo over the
rule of the President against the reappoint-
ment of those who served under him four
years ago. 1t relieves him of his distress
over DR.. hunter. Holman did not want to
60 back on his fellow.townsman, but then
he fclt compelled to stand by Captain
Bracken, of Franklin. who was destined to
be q winner any way. and finally he gave
him his indorsement Just about
the time the friends of DR..
H unter had made mp their minds
to apply the thumb-screws the President
flashed up the order or rule which bars out
DR.. Hunter, and now Mr.. Holman can ex-
press all sorts of regrets and friendships
for DR.. Hunter, and 1t won't cost him any
office.
John G. Shanklin and C. w. Cunning
ham, of Evansville. James II. Lyre and s.
NJ. Ralston, of Lebanon are registered at
the Willard. What the latter two are
looking for is unkn own. Mr Shankhn
says he will remain here until Wednesday,
when he leaves for home. 1t Is under
stood that he will be rendered an
appointment, probably that of First
or Second Assistant Postmaster general. 1t
is not known whether he would accept
such a place. but it is believed that he
would. Secretary Gresham will likely see
that no position Is rendered him which
he would not accept
sHANKLIN MUST OWN A MINT.
When Mr.. Shanklin was asked by the
Journal correspondent to-day if it was
true, as reported. that he was arranging to
establish an afternoon paper at Indianap-
oils. he replied: II have not perfected my
arran ngements yet" Mr.. Shanklin's friends
say the paper will be launched il he is not
given an appointme

tered at the st. James. What his ambitions

HAWKINS AND KERN MUST WAIT.
Ex-Sheriff Hawkins, of Sullivan county.
is here awaiting for his appointments as
United States marshal. 1t was expected
that both he and John w. Kern, who is to
be United States district attorney, would
be nominated to- day. and that they would
both leave for their homes with their com.
missions by the end of the week. but no
nominations were sent to the Senate to-
day, owing TO the fact that the Senate
committees have not yet been reorganlzed.
and the President does not went Repub-
lican chairmen to call up Democratic nom-
nations before Republican committees.
To-day's Washington Post says: among
the ais at the Arlington is Montgom-
cry Hamilton. of Fort Wayne. q million
aire. and a leading spirit in both business
and political circles. Mr.. Hamilton enjoys
the distinction of being nephew of Hon.
William s. Holman. and also q distant rel
ative of the IllustriOus Ewing family of
Ohio. He has travelled extensively In the
ola world, is a CLOSE observer and is we'll
versed in all that pertains to European eti-
quette and customs and the laws govern
ing International intercourse. and. conse-
quently. would not be averse to accepting
foreign mission should one be rendered 10
him." Ii is probably needless TO add that
Mr. Holman will do ell he can for his
nephew. despite the pressure for Office from
his ow n district.
Treasurer Nebeker is anxious TO be re-
lieved from his position. He rendered his
resignation To President Cleveland on
