a crowd gathered and guyed them.

CHRISTMAS
PRESENTS.
Governor-EIect Peabody Making
His Appointments.

Denver. Dec. 30 Governor elect
Peabody is hard at work distributing
the patronage. and he hopes to com.
plete his labors before Christmas.
Yesterday he named eight who are the
recipients of plums under the forth
coming administration. and tomorrow
the names of further successful ones
will be announced. The strain of
the new work is telling on the new
executive. and he states that he will
be glad when the work of distribut-
ing the patronage is completed.
With the exception of the appoint
ment of Cleghorn as warden of the
penitentiary the rest of the appoint
ments seem to be satisfactory. The
Cleghorn appointment has raised a
tempest that will not down. The
Pueblo politicians are sore at the gov
reror and through Judge Dixon. and
IA petition which is signed by hund
reds of republicans in Pueblo. decld-
ed effort is being made to keep the
appointment from being checked up
With Pueblo patronage.
A surprising feature of yesterday 8
appointments i the amount of patron
age bestowed ON Arapahoe county.
The politicians Of this county realized
patronage on account of the over
whelming democratic majority. and
when it became known that the dairy
| commissioner and oil inspectorship
was given to Arapahoe. there was
general rejoicing among local politi-
clans.
Added to the above appointments
i r, that of DR.. Peter Oliver Hanford
of Colorado Springs as surgeon gener-
al of the Colorado national guard.
DR.. Hanford has received authoritive
information about his appointment,
but vet it was not announced.
The adjutant generalship is causing
Governor Peabody some trouble Yes
terday it was rendered ATTORNEY James
H. Brown. but it was declined with
thanks. 1t is quite likely that w. H.
Sweeney of Pueplo will be given the
DO sition.
Governor elect Peabody yesterday
selected the Whitehead residence at
1928 Grant avenue as the executive
mansion and two year lease was
signed.
Mrs. Peabody several weeks ago
practically decided on the old Rhodes
mansion at 1910 Pennsylvania avenue.
The son given for the selection
of the Whitehead mansion is that it is
nearer the capitol building and better
adapted for the executive mansion
than the Rhodes residence. The
residence decided upon by the COVER
nor was built by the late DR.. William
r Whitehead about seven years ago,
and until his death was the scene of
great social gayety. The residence
is thoroughly modern. Governor
Peabody expects to take possession of
his new home by the first of the year,
after which general round of social
functions will begin.
