Although numerous attempts have
been made TO belittle ex-senator
Browns successes at the capital the
idea being to create Il stampede of MS
followers, it has thus far been unsuc-
cessful, and from all appearances VIII
fall short of the mark
The Tribune has been especially zeal
Gus in this sort of work. When the
appointment Of the postmaster at Mer-
cur was announced, it was stated that
it was q victory for the opponents CT
Brown. Subsequent developments show
this erroneous and untrue, for as 4 mai
ter of fact, Brown was consulted and
agreed to the selection
Now comes a telegram from WASH
ington stating that the appointment OF
Kelly to be inspector of customs at Og-
den amounts 10 nothing; that Ee gets
5nly SIS per month and the 3lace ism
worth having. On the contrary, ms
place averages SO per month, with very
little 10 do and sometimes the lees
foot up over Sl00 per month. So 1t viii
be seeen that it was a victory for
Brown Just the same. This kind Of in
formation viii not fool the Datriots
long. for when the announcements OF
appOintmen1s are made, il Will be seen
that Brown has a finger in the PIE
It IS believed that something will
happen today in the matter Of app)in>-
ments. The president and Brown re-
turned home from the Tennessee OK
position yesterday ana found Governor
Thomas waiting. Thomas hes oeen
making q hard pull with some Of the
senators for recognition, and expects to
have a conference with the president
today 1t viii probe bly, amount TO Moth
ing as the executive mas been in
formed Of the status Of affairs; how
paper which fought him expects,
through the ex-governor, TO control al
the patronage. and he is prepared de
knows, too, 1ull well, that Thomas dare
not go back on the administration, no
matter VINO is appointed, because he
is looking for something himself. 1t IS
thought here among some of the
friends of Brown that it viii be ar
ranged TO tender Thomas something at
Washington and so disarm MIN and
put him hOrs de combat, as 1t were, IN
this fight.
Thomas Will present the famous
DOoly credential at his conference with
the president, and viii expect him 10
take notice of the same, but Brown is
fortified with kilograms from other
mem bers Of the state committee, ask
ing him to act for them in The matter
of patronage, and in this case Brown
will have the advantage in numbers.
q g @
Brown will be armed with a telegram
from the favored few in this city, ask
ing him to appoint, or see to it that the
appointment is made, Hoyt sherman
marshal But, in the language Of one
of the friends of Brown, "Hoyt IS 60
ing 10 Brown at too late a day- lie
thought before Brown left that Uncle
John would be able to take care Of rim,
and now discovers that he is not alto
gether the man."
In this connection it IS said that
Sherman received a letter from his ven
cradle relative one day last week, urg-
ing him to secure all the pressure he
could upon Brown, as he was working
for another man. Hoyt got rustic
upon himself right away, and tele-
gram signed by numerous and sundry
members OF the favored few was
sent off to Washington post haste, pre-
paid and ell that.
Some people may wonder who the
Favored few are. By way OF eXpla-
nation il may be stated they are the
little band who are favored With recog-
milton by the chairman and secretary
of the state committee and permitted 10
sign petitions when their names are
needed.
1t NAV be added that the names of
c. c. Goodwin and Hon. p. II. Lannan
were not on the telegram sent 0 Brown.
While they have the constitutional
right of petition, iuNthis instance il was
not deemed wise TO exercise II.
A private letter from the seat o. war
saws that the marshal and the Gttor-
ney viii be appointed this week. the
startling announcement is made that
the names of Harvey Hardy and many
others who are anxious for the place
have not been filed vet, or, if 50, have
been withdrawn. as the clerks in the
deDartments say they are not IN record.
1t is presumed that Brown has them
in his vest pocket and VIII lay them
before the attorney general, when he
feels like It, This bit of news may
cause some anxiety in certain quarters,
but unless kilograms are hle1 before
noon, they will be of no avail.
