AMONG POLITICIANS.
The Secretaryship-TroubIe i'll CANT
-Shannon's Republican Indorse-
ment in Arizona.

Hon. Perry B. Lady, Grant county's
efficient representative in the last terri
torial assembly, is in the capital on a
visit to-day. He thinks the territorial
secretaryship is now in such middle
that a dark horse is likely to step in
eventually and secure the prize. He in
timated that, as far as he is personally
concerned, he is out of the race. He
thinks neither Lorlon Miller or Paulin
will get it, and ns for Col. Albright, he
DOESN'T regard his chances as particularly
brilliant, despite the fact that he "gets
two personal letters every week from
Grover"
THE NEW COLLECTOR.
Says the Phoenix, Ariz., Republican;
This mornings dispatches announce the
appointment of Hon. Chas. NJ. Shannon,
of Graham county, to be internal revenue
collector for the district of New Mexico
This appointments is one which must
prove gratifying throughout the territory
to all persons without reference to poll
tics. Mr.. Shannon is not only Demo.
crat, and if that may be regarded as q
fault, in Mr.. Shannon the fault is still
more reprehensible since he is one of the
most prominent in the territory. Hisap-
pointment, however, will be borne with
equanimity by Republicans. A more
fitting man could not have been chosen:
he has deserved we'll of his party; he has
fully merited whatever good fortune has
come to him by his acts as useful pub
lie official, and we IRE glad he got it and
wish all Democrats now in office we're
equally as meritorious and acceptable
Mr.. Shannon represented Graham county
in the council during the seventeenth
Legislature and none stood above him.
TROUBLE IN CANT.
There is more trouble in the camp Of
the spoils-hunters. It is said that every
time Delegate Joseph's name is men
toned in the presence of the president
the latter becomes very wrathy. The
president, it is alleged, feels that Mr.. 10.
seph has broken faith with him, and it is
asserted by politicians that Joseph's in.
fuence with the administration has all
gone glimmerlng. The story runs that
some time since Delegate Joseph wrote
several letters to New Mexico applicants
for Office assuring them that the presi-
dent had given him to understand that
no would not appoint without first hear
ing from the triumvirate, Joseph, Crist
and Ferguson. Several of these letters
were sent back to Washington and laid
before President Cleveland, and since
that time there has been "a coolness''
about the White house that Mr.. Joseph
has not been able to penetrate.
