General Malone got another pulp at
federal patronage yesterday when he mad
o. D. Foster, one of bis delegates 10
the Chicago convention, appointed pastmas-
ter at Fredericksburg, Va, vice Forbes,
democrat, removed. The "kickers'' show a
little animation to day from the fact that the
commissions of the Malone postmssters at
Ashland al d West Point, and the Malone
collector of customs at Petersburg, have
been held up, it is reported, at the instance
of one of their leaders, ex Congressman Bra
dy, They also say that Mr.. Hermans:
whom thew recommended for U. s. district
attorney for the western district of their
State, but which place was given to Ma.
honeite, Mr.. Craig, will be appointed
Mr.. Cralg's assistant. Mr.. Jonn Wise,
accompanied by Mr.. Pumphery, the
| husband of the postmaster at Ashland re-
moved by Mr.. Cleveland, and who was an
applicant for reappointment, called on the
Postmaster General yesterday to see OF
something could not be done to revoke the
appointment of MIR. Dslareau. the recent
Malone appointee. 1t is probable that the
holding up of Mr. Delareau's commission is
due to this call. Mr.. Wise also took occa-
sion to urge the appointment OF his friend,
MIR. Grubbs, to the Richmond postotfice.
Judge Wood and Mr.. Slemp, republicans
from southwest Virginia, are here today. Ii
is reported that the former Is trying to have
the latter appointed U. S. marshal for the
western district of Virginia. Elk Marshal
Watts, whom General Malone has recon-
mended for that place, left for his home yes
terdsy evening.
There is no doubt of the fact that If the
southern republican who come here repre-
mt fairly the opinions of those at nome, Mr.
Harrison's administration is any thing else
than satisfactory to the republican party 10
the South, and that unless the southern
,delegates to the next national republican
convention be bought up after they reach
the convention. as they were last July, II
will be hard to find Harrison man among
them.
/ It is reported to day that Mr.. Kasson one
of the Samoan commissioners, will be offered
the Russian mission. Mr.. Phelps, the other
republican member of the commission, has
already received the German mission. For
the remaining member OF the commission
Mr. Bates, whose democracy sits very light
" upon him, place, it is said, will also be
found.
There is lively eight in progress among
the Brooklyn republicans for the places Of
| internal revenue collector and U. s. district
attorney of their district. MIR. Nathan is on
applicant for the first place, though ne is en-
gagged in the tobacco trade and therefore In
eligible. A delegation, consisting of >Messrs
| Woodruff O'Connor, Grace, Nichols and
Wallace, are here, nominally in his favor, as
is also Secretary Tracy, but it is reported
that the latter and all the others really want
some body else appointed. Such is politics
