NEW CROP OF OFFICE SEEKERS.

They Wear Their pants" in Their Boots,
Carry Guns and Drink Red Liquor.
Special TO the Indianapolis Journal
WAsHINGToN. April 6.-There appears to
be o new crop of Office seekers in town.
These are the men who want the post
offices. the clerkships In the departments
here. and the smaller places. They do not
present the appearance of the crowds who
came at the outset of the administration
for the missions abroad, the consulates
and the higher positions in the depart
ments. Many of these men arc from Texas
or the plains beyond the corn bolt of
the Missouri valley. They wear broad
brimmed sombreros, yellow and stiff. and
some have bullying hip pockets. and o few
wear their pants" in their boots. They
crowd the corridors of the Capitol when
the Senate is in session. poke their feet far
under the tables In the Senate restaurant,
and ineist upon thinking cups of red LIQUOR
right along with their raw beef and pota-
Goes.
There are so many of those brawny sons
of election victories hero that two OF three
ex ira sheets of the nominations sent 10 the
Senate each day are posted In the Senate
corridors for their benefit. IL has been the
custom for years when the President sends
q list OF nominations TO tho senate about
12:30 or ! O'Clock TO make q dozen OF more
manifold copies Tor the information of press
representatives and others. Three or four
copies are Immediately sent up TO the press
galleries of tho Senate. and a
copy posted in the large room oc-
cupied by the clerks TO the Secretary
OF the Senate. When the clerk from the
White House appeared with his nomlna
tions. before the present arrangement t.
the fellows with the broad hats and bulg-
Ing hip-pockets made q dash for him, and
he could scarcely dodge into the Senate
Chamber. When the copy for public post
ing was sent out, these fellows almost fell
over one another. 1t was a mob. They
wanted TO see If their names were on the
list. Now they are less boisterous. for they
know two extra bulletins are posted In dit
verse corridors for their benefit. They rush
mp now. and, glancing for their names and
seeing them not. they step back. shift their
cuds and grunt. 10 Is the same the next
day.

This was to be an administration under
which there was to be no nepotism. But
several conspicuous cases have already
occurred in the departments under the
Presidents eye. and now the new minister
to France has secured the appointment OF
his son as second secretary of legation.
That is q misuse of place which has not
been common. Ministers have not infre-
Quently had members OF their families as
their private secretaries. but 1t is rare that
they have been put on the official list to BIO
