Special Dispatch 10 hs Intelligence.
WASHINGTON, D. T., March 2G,-There
has been much mourning in the camp
OF the oiIicehoIders assembled in Wash'
invlon during tho past week. The Pres
ilent has been altogether too slow to
suit them. No nominations since We'd
Hesday Of any description, and tho sem
ate, adiourning over till the following
Monday, does not agree with their ideas
OF the fit and proper ut such time. II
l.as been special disappointment to
the West Virginjans. They had cont,
dHltly looked ior several important
nominations at tue beginning OF the
week, among them that OF commission
or Of internal revenue; but the nomina-
tions did not materialIze. This has
given iime for fresh complications.
There can DO no doubt but that much
difficulty is being experienced IN m1k'
ing up Il slate which will stick, The
combinations which have been proposed
are almost endless.
yDREAK THE COMBINATIONS.
AS soon as one is made up somebody
appears and proceeds to do his best to
break it. As has been stated before,
tile present slate is Gilkeson, Watts
and Vinson. Now, OF these three, Gil.
keson is the only man who is assured OF
his place. II is settled beyond all ques-
tlon that he will be collector Vinson
stands for the time being, but in spite
Of all that has been said, Watts will not
be district attorney. This information
IL furnished from q source so authorita-
tive that it is not to be doubted for u
moment II Watts Ia not to be the man
tho concensus Of opinion favors Somer-
vile, and there you have three Camden
Wilson men to start with.
FAULKNER CAN LOOK on.
AS good Democrat expressed it,
"Don't Faulkner got in at all on this
deaip" The truth is that Faulkner is
taking comparatively little interest in
the matter. He knows that he is going
to be Judge Of the now appellate court
; OF the District OF Columbia, and while
his appointment will be delayed for a
short time, he feels that he is even now
out OF the whirl OF active politics and
does not care to measure lances with
strong combination against him.
Ex-pEbEdATE KEYS CASE.
Tie last man TO take fall out OF the
slate is ex.Dolcgate Key, of Randolph,
who will be remembered in connection
with the gubernatorial count OF 1888.
He says that he was promised that in
case le drew out OF the race for the col
lectorslip he should have some other
good place. lie drew out, but where is
the place? Now he proposes that in
stead OF the present slate one shall be
formed which ahall contain Taylor Vim
son, son OF tho present slate candidate
for Marshal, for district-attorney,
Crawford for Marshal, and himself for
chief deputy.
CRAWFORD Still, FIGHTING.
It will be apparent from this that
Crawford is still fighting. lie is for a
fact w. P. Robinson, OF Wheeling,
who has been here aiding Crawford,
has been given the united endorsement
OF the state delegation for u place as
special examiner in the department Of
justice, in the hope that this would
cool Crawford down little. 1t does
not yet seem to have had the desired
effect
10 sum the matter up, whatever tho
Camden. Wilson people decide on will

to be made in the immediate future
in any event,

evening and informed him that his
name would be sent to tho senate to-

West Virginia is concerned, Tho delay

TO be due to complications in regard TO

that the now treasurer will be Edward
