WASHINGTON, May Sd.-The appointment
by the President TO day of six United States
| District Attorneys and three United States
Marshals has stirred up the patriots. and
| they are all now on the qui viye, expecting
| that their time will come next. The selec.
ton of Carter B. Harrison. brother of the
| President, as Marshal for the Middle Dis
| trlct OF tennessee, was urged by the people
| of that section of the State, among whom
| he has lived for many years. He is sew
eral years younger than the President. and
resides with his family at Murfreesboroueh
where he has been located since the close
of the rebellion. Marshal Harrison served
| with credit and distinction in the Union
army, and come out of the war Captain,
! and has been a successful business man in
| the community where he resides. There
was no other applicant for the position,
and the appointment gives general salts
| faction among the Tennesseeans, a large
party of whom called at the White House
| to-day to thank the President for his action.
| As mentioned in these dispatches re-
Gently, the candidates for Public Printer
are becoming exceedingly anxious. There
have been no new developments and Os-
| borne's chances are as good as any.
There was a report tonight that Meredith
would be appointed Public Printer at the
| end of the fiscal year, and that Charles L.
Coon will succeed Graves as Chief of the
Bureau of Engraving and Printing. Coon
| is a warm personal friend of Secretary
| Windon, and the Secretary is said to favor
Coons appointment. The illness of Sec
retary Window to-day served to delay the
action in the appointment of Collectors of
Customs and Internal Revenue 1t is the
Secretary's intention 10 take up and fill
| these offices as fast as possible.
Among the callers at the White House
to-day that attracted unusual attention
was Representative Evans of the Chatta-
nooga, Tenn, District, who brought with
him an elderly gentleman who has been q
| very active thorn in the side of the South
ern Democracy, Colonel A. u. Collier. The
| Colonel is protectionist OF the most pro-
| nounced type and visit to the President
with Republican escorter is really a yery
significant affair. The Colonel owned the
Nashville american, and let it go to push
| the Nashville Union into existence. 1t did
not take him long to squeeze the propri-
etors of the Americdn and in little while
the two papers were consolidated. At all
times and in all places has the Colonel ad-
yocated protection for American industry.
He has made very reputable fortune
out OF iron, coal and railroad operations,
and wants nothing for himself. His ad-
vice is being taken by this Administration
although he still thinks he is something of
a Democrat. just now he is believed to be
figuring on grand combination of protec-
zionist Democrats and Republicans in
| the South, but more strongly founded
rumors say that he is on the eve of head
ing big procession of Democrats who
don't want free trade. The procession will
march right into the Republican camp.
The Colonel believes White Republican
protection movement to be for the best in
terests of the South.
