Not Filled.
FIRST DISTRICT REMEMBERED

partments under the new state admin
istration have not yet been given out
and there is much speculation in polit
ical circles about the capital as to wht
will fill them after January 1. Three
of the best of these, the assistant state
auditor, the commissioner of insurance
and auditors agent at Louisville, are
to be given out by Auditor-elect Ha'
ger.
| The governor has given no intima-
tion as to whether he will make any
more changes in his official family
here or any at the state institutions.
1t was never necessary in his campaign

resignation Of Adjutant General Muir.
ray necessitated an appointment imme-
diately upon his induction into office.
Any changes at the ssylums, about
which there are many runners, will
not be made for several weeks yet

decided upon are:

Young, Covington, assistant inspector
The services of clever Ed Leigh are
indispensable to an occupant of the ex
ecutive chair, and he will continue a,
private secretary to Governor Beck
ham. The duties of this place are the
most exacting Of the minor offices, and
his numerous friends over the state
will back a movement before the gen

Beckham will retain in his position
