A DAY OF DELEGATIONS.The White House Overflowing With

Them.AMONO THEM THREE FROM THIS DISTRICT.NAMESFOR DISTRICT COMMISSIONERS PRESENTED.THEPRESIDENT SATS HE WILL TRY TO APPOINT AN

« ACCEPTABLE MAN "FREE FROM RING CONTROL."

This was a day of delegations with the Presi¬dent. About 1 o'clock he went down to theeast room to see the people wating there to paytheir respects. All the day up to that hour was

spent in listening to congressmen and delega¬tions. His private office and the cabinet roomwere crowded during the morning, andas a rule whatever the visitorswanted to say had to be cut very short. Theywere hurried through as quickly as possible.An exception to this rule was made in the caseof Hon. S. B. Elkins, who called during themorning and remained with the President forsome time. When he came out of the privateoffice he wms smiling. The visit of deneralMahone. of Virginia, was of a different char¬acter.

_It was so brief as to give rise to the

suspicion that he merely peeped through thedoor and did not speak with President Harri¬son at all. He came with Representativetfowden, and had no appointment.

h?lj, h" Srown longer, giving hima decidedly shaggy appearance and his generalpeculiarity of dress and manner made him anobject of curiosity as he waited among the "un¬important and unannounced" in the lobbv Heheld his broad-brimmed white hat behind'himand walked nervously back and forth in thelobby, while Mr. Bowden exerted himself tosecure an audience. Presently one of the at¬tendants, recognizing him. let him into a sidedoor without announcing him, and in not morethan two minutes he came out again and wentaway.

THREE DISTRICT DELEGATIONSwere on hand at the White House bright andearly this morning. They all got an opportu¬nity to see the President and departed pleasedat that, though in ignorance as to the Presi¬dent's disposition toward their candidates GenHenkle, Judge Jeremiah Wilson. ex-Mayor M (iEmery, Charles King, Frank Hume, James L.Barbour, and G. G. Cornwell presented thename of John H. Crane for DistrictCommissioner to succeed Mr. Webb. Thevsupported their own recommendation with apetition embracing the names of leading ci tizensresiding in every section of the District and en¬gaged in various pursuits. The President re¬ceived them kindly, and told them that hewould take time enough in making the selec¬tion to get the best man possible for the posi¬tion.one who would be acceptable to the citi¬zens and would be entirely free from ring con¬trol.

THE EAST WASHINGTON DELEGATION,who called too late yesterday to present theirmemorial and urge the appointment of GeorgeFrancis Dawson as Commissioner, were thereby appointment and had a pleasant interviewwith the President. The delegation consistedof M. L Weller, E. B. Stocking, B. F. Guv, E. N.Sperrv and James Plant.Dr. E. A. Adams and his delegation of half

a dozen saw the President also. He said hewas there after the health office, but left thesuspicion, pinned by a wink, that he had someother important business.

OH THE INDIAN QUESTION.A very large delegation of ministers of the

Gospel and other Christian workers, <«m.1h<h»bseveral ladies, had a talk with the Presidenton, Indian question, urging a broadand liberal policy as to the educationof the Indians.

ALL OHIO WAXTS OfnCLThere have been but few recent office-seek¬

ing arrivals from the great state of Ohio, butthat cannot be taken aaan indication of a sud¬den access of political modesty. All the Buck¬eyes who want office under this administrationdo not expect to come to Washington. Thatinvolves an expenditure of hard cash withoutgiving any assurance of a solid return. Forthis and other reasons, a good manv sons ofOhio and followers of Harrison and Morton usethe United States mails. Of this class are themen who aspire to consulships, and there arenow on file in the State department the appli¬cations and accompanying papers of 9,000 patri¬otic Ohioans who are ready, even anxious, toforsake home and friends and Ohio if they mayonly have the opportunity to write interestingreports on various abstruse subjects and sendthem in to Secretary Blaine with the gratifyingtitle, "United States consul," beneath theirautographs. Unfortunately all the Ohio mencannot get consulates, for there are not morethan 1,200 offices in the entire consular service,including consular agents, many of whom arenot in receipt of more than t25 per annum. If,therefore, Ohio should get everything in sightin the consular service, there would still be

XEABLY 8,000 DISAPPOINTED .'BCCEEYEH-'.A local paper stated yesterday that ex-

Speaker Hodge, of Cleveland, Ohio, was afterthe governorship of Arizona. Mr. Hodge savithat statement is incorrect. He would like tofill a gubernatorial chair, and if he gets whathe is seeking he will control affairs in Alaskafor at least the next four years.

Several active politicians want to representthe United States at the court of Hayti, andOhio bus its representative in this struggle.M. M. Holland, who was in the sixth auditor'soffice, and who was incontinently "fired outbecause he disagreed with an official of the lateadministration, is the candidate, and he haslarg<£«ized hopes of success.Clark Montgomery, of Cincinnati, had his

lcnging eyes "sot" on the assistant secretary¬ship of the interior.a place ho regarded as

particularly desirable. and for which he thougntne had especial qualifications. Now, however,he is willing to take possession of the internalrevenue bureau and be commissioner. This, itis said, he can get without much trouble.

A TRIANGULAR POST-OFFICE FIGHT.Illinoisians who hail from the twelfth con¬

gressional distirct of the "Sucker" state are

very much interested in the exciting tri¬angular fight now going on for thepossession of the Quincy P°.office. The three candidates are all well-known, all persistent and each is confident hecan win the coveted prize. The first man toarrive here was Capt. Michael Pigott, who hadbeen postmaster for sixteen yearsand whose services were dispensedwith by President Cleveland. He hasdrummed up all the influence possibleand now awaits the result. The second candi¬date is A. H. Keith, who was very active duringthe last campaign. He was chairman of thecounty central committee, and he thinks he hasearned all of that postmasU-rship.

Heath, IndianapolisJournal; W. E. Curtis. Chicago Sew*; and H.L. West, Washington Pott.The committee reported as follows: 'Words

are useless in the presence of death, bat thecorrespondents at Washington, who have beenin daily companionship with William FrankO'Brien, and share the sorrow of his father andfamily, feel it a privilege to offer their sym¬pathy to the living and to testify to the worthof the dead, and in this manner to make knownthe esteem in which ho was held among hisassociates,the confidence hecommanded amongpublic men, the fidelity and ability with whichhe performed his professional dunes, his devo¬tion to his family,and his loyalty to his friends."
