Hin shaw and Thompson and others in evidence in the lobbles. The work of the legislators outside of the session has been chiefly in the direction of framing up for committee assignn:ents and unloading applicants for minor posi- tions. The pressure of the place-seekers has been something terrific, especially upon the Douglas and Lancaster members, who seem to be blessed with a double supply. One of them remarked today “I have had thirty applications for two or three positions expec to be at my disposal, and my associates havo just as many. 1 am doing the best I can, but twice as many are going to be disappointed as satisfied. I'm for chipping into a pot to pay for sending back home some of the surplus bound to be left in the distribu- tion."” MHonor for Raldrige.
