Almost every train that rolls into Aus,
tin of late has some distinguished indi.
yidual among its passengers who has a
mysterious air about his every movement
By following any one of them you can
readily ascertain their mission, however
After registering at one of the hotels they
slide out of a side door and HE them
selves to the attorney generals office. In
case they fail to find GOvernor-elect Gull
berson there they then proceed to Mr.. Ed
Houses office. Their bearing is rather
iaunty upon their first appearance in the
city, but after visit to the gentlemen
above named all the starch is taken out
of them. They are amazed and bewil-
dered at the hundreds of applications
that have preceded them and it does not
take them long to realize that they are
but a drop in the bucket. After wander
ing around for a few days awaiting the
assurance of an appointment that never
comes they close their gripsack and HE
themselves hOmeward, sadder and wiser
than formerly. This doleful tale is of
daily occurrence and would be extremely
amusing were it not 80 painfully pathetic.
Among the most prominent arrivals in
the city yesterday morning was the hon.
w. NJ Imboden of Rusk, who was re-
Gently elected district attorney Tor the
Second judicial district. He denies being
here on any wire-pulling business looking
TO any of Culberson's appointments, but
knowing ones wink and pass on smllingly.
He is accompanied by f. G.. Dickerson of
RuSk, the gentleman made famous by be-
ing one of Governor Hogs deer hunting
party when they all came so near being
yanked over the Goals for killing deer in
violation of the law. He called on GOV
ernor Hogg yesterday morning and the
supposition is that the two gentlemen will
try shooting at bigger game on this hunt.
Mr.. w. NJ Brown of this city, form
erly state comptroller, is one of the appli-
cants for appointment as superintendent
of the Confederate Home, and has filed
his application with GOvernOr-elect Gull
berson. In this connection it is well 10
state that among the hundreds of applica-
tions that have been received by Cover
nor-elect Cuberson, Travis county is
ably represented, there being something
over 100 applicants from this county
alone.
Mr. n. NJ. Harrison, assistant financial
agent of the state penitentiaries, is
among the applicants for the position of
financial agent. which will be vacated by
the Hon. II. w. Finley, our next comp
troller. He has quite lengthy signature
to his application.
1t has not been generally known, but it
is nevertheless fact that prominent
among the applicants for the position of
superintendent of public buildings and
grounds is Mrs. Rosine Ryan of this city.
Mrs. Ryan filed her application with
Governor-elect Culberson several days
ago with one of the strongest endorse
ments of any of the applicants for any
Office, including among her list of personal
letters, etc, one from Chairman Dudley,
of the Democratic executive committee;
one from Geo. Clark, and quite a number
of other distinguished men in the state.
Mrs. Ryan prefaced her application by
stating that she did not desire the office
if General Hardeman, the present incum-
bent, was still an applicant; but in case
he was not she was most certainly an APP
plicant. Mrs. Ryan's application has met
with much favorable comment, quite q
number believing that the position would
be more in touch with wOman's taste
and experience than when in charge of q
man.
Governor-elect Culberson has, however,
informed Mrs Ryan that as much as he
regrets it, he cannot consider her appli-
cation for the place, so the matter goes
by the board.
The following is an almost complete
