The foregoing list was eagerly scanned by the
anxious ofice-seekers and their friends who had
gathered in force at the Capitol long before noon.
The faces of some lighted up with joy as they
| found their names written in the list OF men who
are to enjoy fat offices, but the countenances OF
q majority grew darker than ever with anxiety,
| disappointment and chagrin when they discovered
that the President again had failed to recognize
their claims" Various were the comments
| heard. 81 feel sorry for Congressman Hop
| kIus, who was anxious to receive the Italian
mission. / wonder who this man Kelly
| is, anyhow never heard of him." said one
| Well, Cleveland has found out at last who Jar
Wis is, and has given him q good BERTH" remarked
tall North Carolinian
"Old joe Brown Is taking good care OF
Georgia." said disgusted Western Democrat, who
added: 1.-Two important diplomatic appointments
the Russian and Mexican Missions-and one OF
the best Consuates ought to stay Georgas appetite
until Texas. Missouri aud some other States get
TASTE"
The friends of Mr. Colman, of Missouri. were greatly
] disappointed because his n nomination as COmmis-
sioner of Agriculture did not reach the Senate.
| After reading the list twice q West
| ern Democrat observed "Wel Pll be
blank k-blankedl 1t seems that Bayard could
not find ex- Confederates enough in the South,
and was obliged to 60 to New-Jersey
for one to represent the United States at Lisbon.
| One-half of the men nominated to diplomatic
| posts served in the Rebel army and Michigan,
| Minnesota Iowa. California, Nebraska, Kansas and
| Oregon Ignored"
Several Virginians protest that General Johns-
tons appointment ought not to be credited on that
| States quota, and another said: 90 suppose that
Secretary Bayard thinks that the appointment Of
Kelly will arouse enthusiasm among the Irish
| American voters, but he will find himself mistaken
| in that"
General Lawton, who is to go to Russia, was
| strongly urged for place in the Cabinet and, at
one tme his appointment was favorably con-
sidered but the final decision was IN favor Of
Senator Lamar.
| Ex-Governor Jarvis also was urged for O abnet
Office, and the President thus came to know that
North Carolina possessed such statesman His
appointment is regarded with great satisfaction by
the North Carolina politicians In Washington, and
| as he was seriously disabled while in the Rebel
army, 1T will be generally acceptable to the ex'
Confederate element in his native State. Tho
| Bourbon ex-Confederates of Virginia equally
pleased with his nomination to the Italian Mission.
for he served the Confederate cause with his pen
as we'll as with his sword
General Johnston has hosts Of admirers through
ont the South among those who fought for the
| Lost Cause" and his appointment TO an office
with q good salary, to support him in his old age
will carry 10y to thousands of Southern hearts
The Virg,nians. of course, glad to hear Of the
| good fortune that has befallen Mr. Lewis formerly
of Virginia, and the Confederate army, who is
| named for the Mission to Portugal. His appoint
| ment was urged by Senator Mcpherson and the
New-Jersey Democratic congressman.
| The selection of Professor Anderson for the mis-
sion TO Denmark IS attributed mainly TO the In
Auence of Postnaster-General Villas. A disguised
| Wisconsin Democrat remarked a" Mr. Villas seems
| TO have a special tenderness for vanished DEM
ocrats-men who have been Republicans until
within short time. Anderson has belonged 70 the
| Democratic party only two or three years."
Another Wisconsin mar thinks that Mr.. Villas ex-
meets the appointment strengthen the Democratic
marty among the Scandinavian voters of that State.
| The appointment Of George w. Merrill. OK
Nevada. to succeed Rollin NJ. Daggett, OF the same
State as Minister at Honolulu. caused no little SUR
| prise. which was only measurably removed when IL
became known that he is Senator FAIRS private
secretary and that his promotion is due to the Sem
ators personal efforts in his behalf As generous
contributor to the Democratic campaign fund, it
| was doubtless thought Mr.. Fair was entitled to
some consideration The friends of ex-Congressman
Cassidy. of Nevada, will now believe more strongly
than ever that Mr.. Fair is largely responsible for
his defeat last fall aud it seems probable that in
nro,aoting the welfare of his friend Mr.. Fair has
impaired his own political prospects.
The appointment of Isaac Bell. jr, to the Neither
lands is regarded OF the services rem
