WASHINGTON NEWS.

The Administration of Cleveland Has Made No Mistakes Yet - Everybody Satisfied Except Oflice-Seekers. The Indianapolis Postoffice Settled - Various Other Nominations - Gossip at the Capital. PRESIDENT CLEVELAND. His Appointments So Far Pronounced Faultless. Special to the Sentinel. Washington, March 26. - Despite the cry of the Republicans over the refusal of President Cleveland to turn their officeholders out until their terms expire, the disposition of the Federal spoils is being made in such a way as to elicit only the commendation of the general public. Not a single error has so far been made in the appointments. It has been a remarkable run of good judgment exercised so far, and considering the character of the President's advisers, there is no doubt that it will continue. The Cabinet is faultless, the ministers to prominent courts could not have been improved, and no mistake has yet been made. This all in the face of the fact that everything was and is being done by the Republicans to make the administration faulty. The action of the Senate in executive sessions, outlined by the President, has also been in harmony with the workings of the Cabinet. Jones Receives the Appointment - Other Interesting Items. Special to the Sentinel. Washington, March 26 - Although unexpected the appointment of Aquilla Jones to the Pcstmastership at Indianapolis gives good satisfaction. No objection was made to Jones at any time. In fact, it was stated on every hand that he was most entitled to the office, but many believed that Bynum would be allowed to say whose name should be chosen. Everybody is glad the matter is ended, and no ill feeling exists iu any quarter. Bynum says Jones is a good man, and that he will make a splendid officer. He preferred Creelman for personal reasons only. Bynu entertains no bad feeling, and will remain here three to four days before going home, during which time he will do what he can for some of his constituents who want offices. Representative Matson expresses much pleasure over Jones' appointment, and says "Jones is his personal friend, and is worthy of the trust given him." Hendricks, of course, expresses great gratification over the result, but is rot exultant. He thinks the appointment rightfully belonged to him, and that in taking it he did no injustice to anybody. He believes that Mr. Jones will take charge of the office the first of next week. Tom B. Byrnes left here for Evansville tonight. Representatives Ford and Ward have gone home. Captain McKee bought the Attorney General's horse at the sale of the Department of Justice stock to-day, and will send him to Otto Kraus, of Logansport. Everybody Pleased With Cleveland's Turkey Cox, Special to the Sentinel. Washington, March 20 The nomination cf Hon. S. S. Cox, Minister to Turkey, meets the approval of men of all parties at the capital. So generally, in fact, is it approved, that it can hardly be called a political or party nominaticn at all. It is true that for many years the genial S. S. has been a Democratic leader in the House, nevertheless by his genial, hearty, wholesouled treatment of his opponents he has won their respect and esteem in a greater measure than any Democrat in either House of Congress. Therefore, there is about as much rejoicing at his good luck among Republicans as there is among the Democrats. It is a splendid nomination even if Samuel Sullivan does stand a mighty good show lor being a haren-scarem sort of a diplomat. The P. O. D. Showing Up O. K. Special to tbe Sentinel. Washington, March 26 - Postmaster General Vilas inspected the rooms and employees on the first floor of his department recently, and expressed a warm approval of the industry and efficiency shown by the employees on that floor. It is said by those who are ported that he will find a similar condition of affairs on all the other floors when he makes a tour of them, which he will do in the course of a few days if the boomers let up on him.

The memorial was signed by ever 1.000 clergymen and laymen, and the names of some of the most prominent divines in the country are attached to the document.

A Washingten dispatch received here this afternoon, announcing that the name ci our fcliow townsman. Colonel Charles Denby, had been presented to the President for appointment as Minister to Russia, created quite a flurry of excitement among the people. The news spread like wildfire, and almost immediately after the intelligence was received the Colonel's law cfiice was filled with personal friends and brother members of the bar, of both parties, commingling their congratulations, and expressing the sincere desire that tbe President would favorably consider the recommendation. There has been a common sentiment in this part of the State that if the Administration should please to honor it with an important appointment the laurels should rest on the brow of Colonel Denby, as its most worthy representative. Colonel Denby is a distinguished lawyer, of fine presence and elegant manners, and, though springing from the best stock In Virginia, be is a thorough man of the people a Democrat in the highest sense of the word.
