it is thought, will advocate very few
men for the different positions, his po-
sitluti as senior Senator obviatiug the
necessity OF | is making personal Sc
lecfiou,, but simply satisfying himself
that tie material selected is good.
senator White is naturally looking
forward To his Own rc election in 1896,
aud i'll distributing the patronage h.,
will see that the benefcialIes will
help him at that time. From IL pol-
teal standd2int therefore, Senator
White occupies commanding posi-
ton.
1t is thought there will be active
| rivalry between Senator Don Caffery
aud Congressman Blanchard and
3oatner III regard to the prominent
positions in the Custom House. 1t IL
certain that Mr.. Caiftry will want TO
be elected by tic Legislature. and it
is IA well anow,. fact that he will have
as active competitors the two Com
