WASHINGTON, Jan. s.-The President
sent a batch of nominations TO the Senate
to-day, including two Cabinet officers and
seven Indiana postmasters. The latter fol-
low:
Elkhart-WILLIAM H. ANDERSON.
ffefsonville-NEWTON H. MYERS.
Linton-WALTER w. WILLS.
Mitchell-JOSEPH w. DALE.
Nappanee-CHARLES J. SWEEZY.
Sullivan-ARTHUR A. HOLMES.
Washington-FRANK L. SEFRIT.
The appointment of Mr.. Dale TO be post
master at Mitchell was one which caused
much talk, on account of the contest by
Senator Burton, of Kansas, insisting on
the appointment of his sister Senator
Fairbanks would have liked very much
to have pleased Senator Burton, but he
undoubtedly thought he should not be
compelled to refuse the place 10 a man
who was indorsed by the entire county
organization and leading citizens simply
to place in office sister of one of his fell
low-senators. When Senator Fairbanks
made the recommendation for the appoint
ment it was whispered around the Capitol
that Senator Burton would oppose the
and attempt to prevent Dale's confirmation.
Whether the senator from Kansas will
take such action remains to be seen.

ate follow:
