tIouse and the several Executive Departments to-
dav and before Saturday the scramble will be
eerce and the pressure severe 1t was month

state elections TO take place this the tus
clio over Federal Offices excites lively and peculiar
interest among rival candidates for nominations.
and this adds zeSt to the competition. far as
Virginia Is concerned, however. there Is not much
doubt that the wishes of Colonel OFerrell who is n
candidate for the nomination for Governor. will be
respected for President Cleveland probably realizes
that he Is under heavy obligations to him for
vices rendered before and during the Chicago Con-

have been doing the same thing at the Waite House
and the Department of Justice some OF them,
little more than four years ago, wrote letters and
signed petitions In favor of the appointment of Colonel
Buck to a place in the Presidents Cabnet-letters and
petitions In which his high character his tTe-eminent
