Der or the Fourth legislature and formerly
receiver of the United States land office in
this city. Among these candidates Captain
Nickerson is said to have dropped out and
will endeavor to secure the appointment O,
agent at the Shoshone Indian agency.
For the position of internal revenue col
lector for the district of Colorado and Wyo-
ming which in the last administration was
given to a Wyoming man, there is but one
candidate. ex-Congressman Frank w. Mon
dell. Should he, however be appointed TO
some other position equally as good it is
possible that Wyoming will withdraw its
claim to this office in favor of Colorado For
the deputyship of Wyoming, the place at
present filled by Leopold Kabis of this citv.
Herman Glafcke, formerly secretary of Wyo-
ming territory, is an applicant
The office of surveyor general is one of
the choice federal appointments in Wyo-
ming. The present incumbent Is John
Charles THOMPSON who was appointed in
September, 1894 to succeed Perry Bickford
who was the original Cleveland appointee
but only held the office a year. For the
office there is, as far as is known, but one
applicant State Senator A. p. Hanson of
Sundance, who has practically the unani-
nous endorsement of the republican party
of the state for the place.
The CHEYENNE postmastership will prob
ably be plucked within a week The recent
removal of Postmaster Draper from Office
for cause makes the sppointment one of the
first to be filled. The applicants for the
place are George w. Hoyt and D. r. Cow
hick both Cheyenpe merchants. Both have
very hatterinr endorsements and lengthy
petitions.
