The governors response concluded,
those present advanced Ito shake him
by the hand and to wish him all Sue
cess i'm his administration.
The governor ait once settled down to
the disposition of large mass of bus
mess that had accumulated on the ex-
ecuhive desk during THE past two
weeks, but was allowed ito finish little
of it. ALI afternoon there was a steady
stream of visitors, both friends and
those seeking appointment Ito various
positions, with their sponsors and pa
pers. 1t is probable that the governor
will be compelled in almost self-de-
fense ito quickly make known his
choice, that the public business may
resume it's regular and peaceful cham
mel.
AS wals anticipated a flow of resigna
lrao du n
ready announced has been the resigna-
tion of Col. J. F. Wilson as "a member
of the board of education of the Ter
rftorial Normal school. To this yester
day wals added the resignation of ]. NJ
Burnett. who has been acting as pri-
waite secretary of Acting Governor
Bruce. and has in the interTegnum
been i'm charge of the executive offices.
Following came THAT of F. j. Naherton
as superintendent of public inStruc-
tion, a letter offered that of Morris
Goldwalter as member of the board of
equalization, and S. p Beham re-
signed las q; member of the Live
stock commission. Also, early in the
afternoon, DR.. Ira B. Ham bhn, super
intendent of the territorial insane
asylum, paid THE governor pleasant
call and informed him that his resig-
nation was ready ait amy time that DIT
might please THE executive ito accept
it. Still another resignation, concern
ing am Office of Importance, was unde.-
stood ito have been placed ON file dur
ing the afternoon, but the governors s
office would give NO information in its
regard.
For the present, probably for but a
few weeks, Alfred Franklin, son of the
governor, will adt as his private sec
retary, a place he has filled for years,
while his father has been ON foreign
service. This arrangement will
be but for short time, however,
ais THE young man lis deVctedly elt-
tached ito his profession, the taw, and
| i'm lit has been already successful to a
marked degree. Such decided ability
has he shown in his profession that he
has been mentioned for 1.-The nomination
of district attorney on the Democratic
ticket. He has mo Intention of enter
| ing politics, however, and will stay
with his profession with am eye Ito his
advancement solely Through its means.
| He States he hias taken the post
only Through the earnest solicitation
OF his father In 1.-THE meantime he will
still maintain his office i'm the Monihon
block.
