THE NEW ADMINISTRATION.

the Men Who Will Get Positions
In the Various State Depart
ments and Appointive Offices.
Only about six weeks now remain
and the present state administration will
step down and out, and the new one
will step up and in. AS is usually the
case III, re will be a great many changes
made in the personnel of the official fami-
ly. There will be changes in the gov
errors Office, state department, insur-
ance department, attorney generals de-
partment, land Office and comptroller S
department, as also a large number of
appointive Offices under the governor.
The readers of The Statesman will
no doubt remember that in last Septem-
Der a slate of a number of probable APP
pointments by the gOver1Or-elect was
made, and since then there has been only
one known selection by Mr.. Culberson,
that of railroad commissioner rendered
to Governor l.. j. Storey, who was
named on The Statesman's slate at
that time The reporter feeling jubi-
liant over his former predictions started
out for another junkeing trip after like
news among the politicians, and has
cleaned from Il Nt I'd here and an dc
there, u lot of correct information as
alsJ a lot Of rumors and probabilities
nncnt the changes in the new admins
tration. Here are some of them:
The governors ofiice-No one seems
to know who will be Mr.. Culberson's
private secretary, but Mr.. A. j. Clop-
ton will be private stenographer and
Colonel John Simpson, his porter, will
90 with him. 1t is believed Mr.. Culber-
n,N1 hn hn1 Itch Of
the state revenue agent and will APP
point for his
Secretary Of State-Some good man
from GraysOn county, probably Henry
King, and for the office of
Insurance COmmissiOner-Mr. Phil II.
Allin, present chief clerk to Commits
sioner Hollingsworth, has a good chance,
while Mr.. Robert Gribble of this city
has good endorsement for this place.
No change is anticipated in the
Adjutant Generals Office-As the
has made u good officer and is very
close and old-time friend of Mr.. Culber-
son.
Public Buildings and Grounds-While
all seem loath to believe there will
change in the supertendency of public
grounds and buildings, it is confidently
believed by knowing ones that Mr.. John
Sedberry will be rendered the appoint
ment, and that Mr.. Culberson will pro-
vide another place for General Harde-
man, probably the superintendent of the
Confederate Home-lf there should be
a change in the management of that in
stitution many think Colonel 5. H.
Darden will be rendered some place also.
Railroad Commissioned is known
that Judge Reagan has been rendered
as chairman of the com
mission and has accepted, and as Gov
ernOr Storey is already considered, Mr..
Culberson's appointment there only re-
mains one other selection to be made, land
many seem to think there is no doubt
but that Mr.. Foster will be retained.
State Asylums--It is believed Dr. B.
o. Worshan, first assistant physician,
will be appointed superintendent OF the
lunatic asylum here. Since the news of
DIR. Rainey's intention of resigning as
superintendent of the blind asylum has
been made known through these columns,
Governor elect Culberson has settled who
will be his successor in the parsonage of
DR.. Beckton of Sulphur Springs, and
while this advance notice of Governor
elect Culberson's probable choice will,
give entire satisfaction, there
is general impression to the effect that
it will be indeed hard to find one who can
30 ably fill that position as did DR.. Rainey.
1t is q matter of general regret that DR..
Rainey has so decided to leave this insti-
tuition, and many were heard to say that
it was public calamity to give him up
after 20 years of such efficient and kind
service.
No one thinks change will, or should be
made in the colored deaf and dumb and
blind asylum, as w. II. Holland has given
universal satisfaction and run his institu-
ton very economically.
There are piles of applications for each
and every asylum. 1t is believed that
Mr.. II. W.Gregory, T. B. Cochran, Wal
ter Tips, l.. M. Oppenheimer and Hal
Linn will be placed on some of the asylum
boards.
For health officer-No one doubts DR..
Swearingens reappointment.
For board of pardons-There will hardly
be a change, at least Governor Lubbock
will be reappointed.
Penitentiaries-The will not likely be
many changes in the management of the
state penitentiaries at Huntsville and
Rusk. Major Whatley as superintendent,
Captain Smither as assistant at Hunts
vile and Judge Gibson as assistant at
Rusk have given universal satisfaction,
and all being strong supporters of Mr..
Culberson will be retained. Of course
I0eTt VIII Dc IL CuduSt III uSChIt
as Mr.. Finley retires, and for that place
Maj. Haywood Brahan is most prOmi-
nently mentioned.
Will Sargent and Wharton Bates will
be appointed inspectors and Mr.. IL. M:
House will be chairman of the board of
Capt Ben f. McCullcch has a good
show for superintendent of the refOrma-
tory, should there be change, while
many believe Captain Mcclure will be re-
appointed.
Assistant attorney general-Should Mr..
Henry not be reappointed, Mr.. Mann
Trice will be rendered the assistant attor-
ney generalship.
Now, to some of the elective Offices.
Comptroller's Experimentation. John
d. Mccall, after % years of faith
full and efficient and excellent service
for the state will retire, and that Texas
loses Il valued servant all admit and re-
greet Mr.. Finley will find the Office in
apple pie order. Mr.. Finley has rendered
the position of chief book keeper to Mr..
w. n. Virgins, and the chief clerkship
to Mr.. ]. Il. Curl. 1t is understood that
all the present clerks have made applica-
tons for reappointment, with the eXcep-
ton of five or six who intend to retire
with Mr.. Mccall and go into other bust
ness. Most all have received replies, and
assurances have been given to Paschal,
Proctor, Shelley, Caldwell, Swain, Badger,
