Among the first appointments an nounced by Governor-eleot Hastings after his inauguration will be his staff. There Js a groat demand for place on the staff, many of the leading officers of the National Guard preferring a po sition of this kind to the rank which they now hold. It may be said with al most a certainty that Majcr Everett Warren, of Scranton, president of the State League of Republican clubs. Will be appointed Judge advocate general in place of Colonel DeWitt Cuyler, of Philadelphia. Major Warren is well qualified for this place by reason of his long service on ithe staff of General Gobln, commander of ithe Third brig ade, as Judge advocate. Colonel Morrell, of Philadelphia, com mander of the Third regiment, is reason ably certain to be selected for Inspector general to succeed Colonel Chambers McKlbbln, of Pittsburg. This arrange ment would place the adjutant gen eral Colonel Thomas J. Stewart, of Norrlstown and inspector general In the eastern end of the state, the judge advocate general In the 'northern and would seem to Indicate that the choice for quartermastergeneral would go to Western Pennsylvania.- In' that went this honor will likely be conferred upon Major Albert J. Logan, of Pittsburg-; quartermaster of the Second brigade. Another Scranton Candidate. Major Hazlet, of Washington, Is be ing strongly pressed for general inspec tor of rifle practice; Lieutenant Con neely, the senior Inspector of rifle prac tice, Is also being urged for this place. He Is probably better qualified from experience and knowledge of rifle prac tice than any other person that may be an applicant, and there seems to be no doubt of his selection. Robert M. Scranton, a son of Congressman Scran ton, editor of the Scranton Republican, and Walter A. Wood, of Honesdale, are applicants for aides. DICK'S BILL IN EQUITY.

IS MR. MURPHY A SENATOR There Is Question About the Legality of His Election. STOLEN LEGISLATURE'S WOKK Point Concerning the Validity of Ills Elec tion May lie Taken Into the Courts. Disastrous Effects That Might Follow Ills Downfall. By the United Press. Albany, N. Y., Jan. 4. The Albany Evening Journal tonight, in a news ar ticle headed "Is Murphy a Senator," says: "Is 12d ward Murphy legally en titled to the seat which he holds in the Uniter States senate as one of the rep resentative of the state of New York? Tills question has suggested Itself to several prominent Republicans in view of the recent decision of the court of appeals declaring the state board of canvassers In contempt for their action In canvassing the Mylod return. "Edward Murphy was elected senator Jan. 17, 1893, the illegal senate particl patlnglnhis election. His opponent was Frank Hlscock. The point raised con cerning the validity of Senator Mur phy's election may be taken into the courts. Undoubtedly, It has merit, and the only question is one of expediency." "The point is good." said Secretary of State Palmer this morning; "but If the election of Mr. Murphy Is Invalid so must be a great many other acts of the stolen legislature. The con gressional apportionment and much New York city legislation would be come null and void. I am inclined to think that the unseating of Senator Murphy might be looked upon as an attempt to gain partisan advantage and would prejudice popular opinion In his favor. It would be better to let the Democrats remain responsible for the exercise of the power they have. A Republican senate would not help us much while Cleveland remains presi dent." General Palmer's opinion was shared by the other state officers, and It may be that no attempt to formu late a case against Mr. Murphy for presentation in the senate will be made. But hat it might be made with a fair prospect is clearly evident from the facts and court decisions. A number of leading Republicans are not consid ering the question and will decide whether to take any action upon It or not. WILKES-HARRF LIE NAILED.
