President Cleveland yesterday sent in the ñames of A. P. Lyon, of Bay City, for United States district attorney for the eastern district of Michigan; John Powers, of Escanaba, for attorney of the western district, and Charles R. Pratt,of Petoskey, for marshal of the western district. No nomination was sent in for marshal of this, the eastern district. Lyon's nomination was obtained by Congressman VVeadock and ex-Congressman Fisher, besidesa big puil froru other sources. The Evening News of last night states that Conely's nomination had at one time been decided on for marshal, hisfriends aiding Lyon but that Congressman Gorman refused hisindorsement and that the authorities were unwilling to turn down so strong a supporter of the administration as Mr. Gorman. The News further says that no nomination for marshal is likely to be sent in until Mr. Gorman recovers from the effect of his fall. This, of course, is gossip. The News often hits the nail, but sometimes doesn't, and the gossip is given solely on the authority of the News.
