WASHINGTON, Jan. S.-Spectal.-Henyy
L. Wilson's recent visit 70 Canton was her
aided al over the country by the Associ-
ated Press as the visit OF the national Re-
publican committeeman from the state q
Washington If this was not Intentional,
how Il came 10 be 80 reported Is mys-
terry, for 1t Is pretty generally known that
Potter Charles Sullivan. the Republican
candidate for governor, was chosen ma
tfonsl committeeman at ST. Louis. and 1t
is also known that considerable Of a disa-
greement already exists between Mr.. Sui
Ivan. who represents the western part or
the state. and Mr.. Wilson, who represents
his brother. the senator, as 10 the manner
In which the Federal patronage or the
state shall be distributed.
According 10 long esta blished precedent,
the only Republican senator in the state
will have good deal 10 say about the
manner in which patronage shall be hand
ed out; but Mr.. Sullivan and his friends
are cherfshing the hope that Mr.. Mckin-
ley through his friendship to Mark
Hanna, VIII appoint tho national commit
teemen from the respective states as carv-
ers and servers. This plan worked very
we'll under the Democratic administration
with Hugh Wallace as party dispenser.
but IL Is hardly likely to be followed under
the Republican administration Besides.
IL must be remembered. In Mr.. Wallace's
ease, that there were no other representa-
tves OF the administration party TO whom
me president could refer such matters.
The defeated congressman. too, would like
to have some say In the matter, and II is
even rumored here that they would ike TO
have some OF the loayes and fishes them
selves. just TO tide over the temporary en-
barrassment in political affairs in the
state.

that many of the Democratic ofiice-hoic-
srs In the state will not serve out their
terms. The greatest possible pressure viii
be brought to bear upon President Nc
Kinley TO look upon the matter IN that
light, and with the probable exception OF
SURVEYOR General Watson. who Is said 10
have worked and voted for Mckinley, II
is thought there will be no difficulty In
provIng offensive partisanship In nearly
every case District Attorney w. II.
Rrinker is said 10 be one of the first who
is slated for removal. Among the candi-
dates for this place are Melvin @. VIM
stock. of Seattle. and Harry Fairchild, Of
Whatcom. both Of whom, II is said, rem
dered good and efficient service 70 the par
" during the last campaign Neither OF
these gentlemen, however. has secured
the Endorsement of Senator Wilson, and.
without placing too much stress upon the
mower which the senator viii WELD In the
affairs OF his state during the next two
years this is a matter which ought not 10
lightly overlooked.
The senator himself takes the matter
very extraordinarily. realizing that he Is
bound TO make great many enemies In
any event. He proposes, therefore, while
so doing. to cement as many strong
friendships as possible. So far as his in
nueuce IN the distribution OF the Federal
"a trouage in the state or Washington Is
concerned. therefore. those friends who
have stood by him through thick and thin
IN the past campaign win be rewarded with
a share Of the spoils. Those who have
artagonized him Will be left 70 chew the
bitter cud OF disappointment. Ia a recent
personal interview with the senator, he
said he believed II ne could be left 10 sux-
gest the appointments that were 10 be

Mr.. Doolittle, il is said. would like to
have the Office of district attorney. II he
does not find il possible 10 create another
Federal district in the state. In that
case ne hopes TO get the new 1udgeship.
A bill to provide for a division OF the
present Federal judicial district of the
state OF Washington was introduced at
the beginning OF the present congress oy
Mr. Doolittle, but has made little head
way not yet having come out OF commit
tee The bill provides that the two dis
tricts shall be divided by line running
east and wesl, dividing the state some
where between the cities of Seattle ana
Tacoma This would give an opportunity
for a new Federal judge from the city or
Tacoma But there is strong opposition
10 this way of dividing the state. Sen
ator Wilson, 1t Is believed. would never
consent TO it, while he might be willing
TO have two Federal districts created pro-
vi6ed division could he made on sat
isfactory north and south line. This
would throw the appointment OF the new
judge east of the mountains, and Senator
Wilson would thereby obtain another po-
litical plum with which to reward another
OF his friends and supporters. 1t is hard
ly to be expected that the bill viii go
through at this session, SINCE IL IL should
meet with the approval or PRESIDENT
Cleveland and become law another life
long judgeship would be given 10 a stall
vart gold standard Democrat, wnich Is
moi at all desired by any or the present
members from the state OF Washington.
Should there be an extra session when
Mr.. Mckinley becomes president there IS
a likelihood that the bill to divide the
judicial district will be again introduced,
although its provisions this time Will be
more in accordance with the views heid
by Senator Wilson on the subject. II the
Pen,,hlican senator fathers the measure
there IL a likelihood OF its passage, In
which case it is thought possible that
