Washington Notes.

The White House is thronged with ap-
plicants for Office every day.
On Thursday of last week Jno. Reynolds
Of Bedford, Pa, was appointed Assistant
Sec'v of the Interior, vice G. NJ. Bussey,
resigned. This was an important appoint
ment. on account of its connection WIN
the Pension office, and it is said 10 nave
been made at the instance OF MI. harrlty.
The other Presidential appointments mace
that day were as follows: .,

Third Assistant Postmaster General Ha
zen has received an application from o
Kansas postmaster for the employment y
the Government of his daughter to 81
postage stamps at the Chicago Exposition.
he states that she has had much exper-
fence in selling stamps and mentions as
one of her qualifications the fact that she
is the largest postal clerk in the country,
weighing 472 pounds. She is "a years old,
and as an evidence of good faith the father
encloses his daughters photograph.
The two appointments given to Pehnsyl
vania last.w were taken by some of the
interested Democrats as an indication Of
Mr.. Cleveland's probable policy WITH re-
gard to the patronage in the Keystone
State. Mr.. Harrity landed one man, J. NJ.
Reynolds, and the Congressional Combine,
through Mr.. Mutchler, landed another,
Major Kretz. who will preside over the ap'
pointment Bureau of the Treasury depart
ment. and be in a position to keep his
friends pretty well informed as to what il
going on, on the inside. So Harrity and
the Combine stand about even now OF
'ihorse.snd horse" as the unregenerate
would say. 1t is believed that this will be
about their relative position through the
race, with Harrity probably leading a little
on big offices. He has not had his man
appointed Appraiser at Philadelphia yet,
but is no worse off than Mr.. McAleer.
The four years term Of the Clarion post
master expired last week and Represents
tive Kribbs is worrying about his success
sor. There are seven candidates as follows
Ex- Postmaster NJ. NJ. Kaufman, John j.
Thick, B. II. Frampton, W. ID. Binns, W
II. Mahey. W. r. Curll and 7. l.. Ray
OF course they are all good men and Mr.
Kribbs is waiting for some distinctive sign
that will designate the peoples choice.
Mr.. Kaufman might as well put his petit
ion away in some secret drawer, as he
comes under rule one, that bars ex-otfice
holders, and can file no exceptions that
would be sustained under the modrfica-
tions.
Among the Presidents nominations
Monday, was Jno. B. Brawley, an attorney
of Meadville, to be- Sixth Auditor of the
Treasury. 1t is said his appointment wa.
made at the instance of Harrity and Con.
gressman Sibley.
On Tuesday, G. Z. Ingersoll, of Penn
sylvania was appointed appraiser OF mer,
chandise Of Philadelphia.
