CHRIS NOT BOSS.
He Will Be ignored by
Sheriff WheIan.
Appointments In the Office Will Be
Made on Recommendations
From the Districts.

Sheriff elect Whelan now announces with a
degree of pOstiveness that should set at rest all
rumOrs o the contrary that the appointment OF
deputies for his office VIII depend only upon his
own pleasure and the accommodations he may
receive from the districts.
1t has been repeatedly stated that Chris
Buckley was seeking to control the Sheriff S
patronage and that his friends fully expected
that he would be able to provide THIN with
good positions as deputies of Mr.. Whean. But
the Sheriff said yesterday that there was no
foundation for these assertions and that he
ould make his appointments at the end of the
week upOn recommendations sent him by the
men who had contributed to his success in the
various districts.
To friends Mr.. Whelan has recently said that
he saw no reason for recognizing Chris Buck
ley in this matter. He would not appoint or
reject any asplrant because OF his relations
with Buckley. He did not care whether the
men recommended were friends of the ex. boss
or not, but they would not go into the office
owing their positions TO the Bush-sJreet man
ipulator. For some time p st Buckley has been
beseged by applicants for places in the Sheriff
office, and apparently he has encouraged the
belief that he had pull. for the men have
hung about the Bush-street saloon day after
day awaiting some decision upon their applica-
tiOns.
Some of the sheriffs appointments have
already been decided upon and the whole list
Will be made known In few lys. zM n

ihority for the statement that the sub-commit.
tee Is still Ia the throes OF doubt as to what
course 10 pursue. He says that he committee
Will probably report back to the Sat Central
Committee though tn resolution under which
it was appointed gives Il full power TO act on its
own authority. General opposition from Re-
publicans who believe that Budd was elected
has thus far prevented certain members OF the
committee from giving Iheir consent to a de-
mand for contest. A final decision should be
reach ed within the next week.
