The only appointments of note in the batch of
nominations sent by the President to the Senate
to-day are that OF Colonel Fred D. Grant, to be
Minister at Vienna, and that of John @. New, to
be Consul General in London In the former the
President recognizes the feeling shared by large
majority of Republicans in every section of the
country, which delights in honoring the memory
of General Grant, by conferring an Important
appointment upon his son. Colonel Grant was
originally spoken Of as likely to be appointed to
the Chinese Mission. There were weighty reasons,
however, which made his appointment to that
post appear as not altogether advisable at the
present time He himself is believed to have
preferred Vienna but with characteristic modesty
he refused to become candidate for this mission.
In q certain sense, therefore, the honor was
unsought for by him, and is on that account no
doubt appreciated the more.
The appointments Of Mr.. New secures for the
important post Of Consul General in London the
services Of o business man Of ability and discre-
tion, who knows the Importance Of the Office, its
needs and requirements, and the opportunities IL
offers for extending the business interests Of tho
United States.
In Mr.. Fricle's appointment the President eyi-
IDENTIFY desired to lend some encouragement 70
those victims Of Southern outrages who have stood
of b.Io agall& x.aitassa Saita~sefs
and miin ght assassins for years without any
other hope of reward than that which the per-
formauce Of duty well and fearlessy done briasa :,
with it. Mr.. Fricke is a resident Of that noto-
rous Washington County, Tex, the doings In
which have been. and still are. the subject OF
by the Senate. The Republican
members of thea Committee on Privileges and
Elections unanimously recommended mr. Fricke's
appointment In that investigation mr. Fricke
rendered valuable services, for which he was hon.
ored with the enmity of all the eminent onu-
dozers Of Washington County.
The statement made in q number OF newspapers
TO the effect that Mr. Wolf1eys nomination to be
Governor Of Arizona was being seriously opposed.
is true only to this extent, that the opposition
proceeds from certain disgruntled and vindlctive
persons with no particular backing or standing.
The Republican members of the Arizona Legts-
lature today forwarded 10 the President dls-
match indorsing Mr. Wolfey's appointment and
his confirmation viii no doubt follow in due course
time
