10leom ' / office was thronged % nil day with
applicants for 11atronage. Those who wihed
to see him for just two mInutes" consumed
a quarter of an hours time , and those who
declared posiively that they wantcll but f\'c
short minutes In which to Interview hIm reo
malned In prolonged session until politely , yet
, urgently , refluCtctl to withdraw. In consc.
, qucnce 'f this a temprry bureau of ar-

chlely In receIvIng verbal' applcatons for ap
polntments In departments mitt state institu-
tions . and Incidentally In examining bonds
. of sate ofcers recently flied with him by
the newly elected Incumhents. Most of them
hall ben left with Governor Crounse for all-
provo I , but the outgoing executive fully
, executve fuly
agreed with the governor.eleet at a confcr-
. coca held Wednesday evening that the only
lelal course to pursue , was to sulJnlt all bJnds

cecutl'e
ofce from Governor BO'II to Governor
Crounso two years ago. 1'hen. the newly
aJo newl'
elected ofcers tied their bonds the day after
the legislature assembled not anticipating

NO AHDEN SELECTED.
, The principal 1 poInt of attack or the nUler-
OU9 place hunters at the capitol today was the
wardenshIp Dr the etato IJnltentury , O'Sheo
i t Dr Iancnster , Dahlman OC Dawe3. Sheridan of
r Hel Willow Ill Lehlgh of Otoo all being
preent with their lieutenants. I lay be
atatell positively that the governor hf not
decldel the luoslon In his own mind , reports
t that effect to the contrary notwithstanding.
At tH recent meeting of the democratic exec-
utvo commlteo tn this city there were Ive I
memher's present , a 11 their object was to
take actcn on the IIos81blo appointment of a
warllen. James O'Sheo hall three out of the t
. five votes anti I.ehlh and Dahlman one t
!
i each. With thin strength O'Sheo secured I
the cndorsemeiit of the democratic .
state
tle enl0rsement democrtc era
ganizaton unanimously. I Is claimed by
certain leaders or what are recognIzed as I
pOIHlemocrats that Governor Holcomb has I
decldod to recognlzo them In tim lstrlbuton
, of patronage lS Car as the wardenshh of the :
\ I > enlentary , If not to t more eJten con :

cession
Upon thIs basis O'Shee would seem I
to bo In 11 . as ho has the unqualified endorsement -
dorsement of Conresman W. J. Dran 'for
the positon , Governor Holcomb has Int-
. , mated th'at he will make no Important ap-
- . polntments to any of the sloth Insttulons

the government of Nicaragua sent I military
foreo to the strip to repel the threatene InvasIon -
vasIon , On February 1 the Nlcaragunns
took t posscsslon of the iblults . rU11 on the 12th
they took possession of luelelds and proclaimed -

raguans and foreigners were to take part
but the endeavor proved abortive. This gO\-

as Inimical to the sovereignty oC Nicaragua
and American Interests at illuefields refrained

'INDIANS' TEMPORARY SUCCESS.
"In July last a movement against the
Nicaraguan authority was temporarily sus-
cessful , the so-called Indian ! oYcrment was
for a time restored , the blue captured with
loss h of life on the I1rt of Nicaragua and
the ( Nicaraguan garrison Of Duelelds cx-
p olled. A few eltzeru , of the Unied States t
who were belIeved to have taltn part In
this insurrection left the country Two
Americans , Lampton and Wlbank , accepted
municipal office under the short-lived reghno
and they and ten or twelve others , mosty
Eimgiisim and Jammialeans were arbitrarily arrested -
rested and banished. The remonstrnce of
this government and tint demand that the
two Americans ba allowed a hearIng , and L
Ia I n any event , an opportunity to arrange their
a ffairs before expulsion , resulted In permission -
ian being given them to return to luo-
fields under pledge of good behavior With
these exceptions and perhaps that of one
Ausburn wh"ose return was for a short tints :
refused but afterward allowed , the undersigned -
signed Is not advised that American citizens
In I Dluelelds have been arrested. Sundry
complaints growing out of Interruptions oC
trade and use of American vessels by the
Nicaraguan authority have had proper atten-
ton and wi doubtless yield to time usual
methods of treatment.
"During the period covered by ito events I
In question the Nicaraguan government , with -
! overmentwlh-
drew time exequatur of 1r , Bralda , time United
States consul It San Juan del Norte , on the
ground or his alleged unfriendly acts . but It

Arguelo was arrested at Hama , but escaped
wih the evident nnlvance Dr the local

at Duetelds were followed by a second
escape . under circumstances indicating gross
negligence . to say the least , on the part of I

Is said to have led the country , thus bamln .

"At no time durIng the last forty or nfy
