| The friends OF Gen. +. W. Whitaker, who
is a candidate fol- Assistant Secretary oi
War, are more confident at present of his
| appointment than at any previous time,
| The principal reason for this expectation
| lies in the fact that tie President has ex-
| pressed his determination to appoint a
! soldier to the position. The generals S
| friends insist that his recortl on the field
OF battle is an enyiable one, and is unsur-
passed by any applicant who has been
named for the place, and it is argued that
as the general has every other requirement
there can be no obstacle to his appointment.
He is backed for the position 10y the entire
|
he halls, and also has the Endorsement OF
high party workers in different parts OF
the country. 1t is also said that Secre-
tary AIger is favorably inclined toward
Gen whitaker, the two having served
with each other in the field.
