WASHINGTON, ID. c., March 25.-Gen.
c. C. Watts, candidate for District At
torney, went home last night. 1t is said
that ne does not feel Over-cOntident OF
securing his reappOintment 10 the place
from which Harrison 50 Summarily re-
moved him in the spring of 1889. 1t
appears that some of the gentlemen on
whom Watts relied 20 push his claims
are showing a disposition 20 be luke
warm, while 10 is felt that in his case,
especially, there is need Of hard work
and enthusiasm. II Gen. Watts fails Of
reappointment by the President, some
of the West Virginians here assert shat
an entirely new slate Tor the important
places Of Marshal Revenue Collector
and District Attorney will have TO be
made.
The name Of c. Wood Daley, Of Key
ser, is heard in connection with the dis
trict attOrneyShip In case the President
decides not 70 give Gen. Watts the
place. Mr.. Daley being from the sec
Ond district with his name and that OF
Mr. GlkesOn, who Is also from the sec
Ond district, cOulp not, il is argued, be
left on the slate az the same time. The
NAlau ulcAAlLa MQ4A4 NAUN4Atg kA@ ANA
ward a candidate for the cOllectOrship

The friends of Mr. Crawford who still
remain on the ground here watching

try 70 get his name on H.

one time a candidate for COllectOrship,
Is here, looking closely after new deyel-
Opments in the contest.
There were persistent rumors to-day
that the name Of Joseph 5. Miller
would be sent 20 the Senate tomorrow

! 20 be generally credited, they cannot be
traced 70 any authentic source.
COL Ben Wilson Is here again TO look
after his candidacy for one Of the assist
ant attorney generalships.
