RILDEBRAND GOT BUSY
And Some Of Scroggy's Nomina'
tions Are Sidetracked.

The following is from the Enquirer's
Tuesday Washington letter:
"Behind the nomination of several
postmasters in the Sixth Congression-
al District which went to the Senate
to-day, is an interesting tale con.
corning the previousness of a new
Congressman. The sixth is now repre-.
sented by Charles Q. Hildebrand, of
Wilmingto tor, who, after March 4, will
make way for Judge Thomas E.
Scroggy, of Xenia. A short time ago
Representative-elect Scroggy in
dorsed DIR. Van Horn for postmaster
at Franklin, Warren county, and the
President, thinking an arrangement
had been effected whereby the Judge
who was to control the patronage,
sent the appointment to the Senate
for confirmation.
"Mr. Scroggy was ready to allot
some of the other postoffice plums
when MIR. Hildebrand awoke from a
peculiar lethargy and fastened to
Washington. Going to the White
House he entered a protest against
Van Horns nomination, and explain
ed that he was still it in the Sixth.
The President was sorry the mistake
occurred aud promised to make
good if Hildebrand got busy and
named his man. This the Represen-
tative did, and to-day Seymour S. Tib-
balls vas appointed, Van Horns nom.
ination being recalled. While he was
at it Hildeprand also recommended
the appointment of William o. Cur
tbs, at Johnstown, Greene county
vice J. x. Grain and ID. G. Pember-
ton, at New Vienna, Clinton county,
vice Hannah Clark; also, the reap
pointment of Adolphus d. Haney, at
Morrow, Warren county. Tibbals will
succeed j. B. Woodward at Franklin.
1t was reported at the Capitol that
Judge Scroggy had come to Washing.
ton TO file his remonstrance at losing
the patronage, but he was not visible
in the usual haunts of the Ohioans."
