MISSIONER OF INTERNAL
REVENUE.

The appointment of Hon. John
w. Mason, of this State, Commits
sioner of Internal Revenue, is one
of the most satisfactory for West
Virginia Republicans that could
have been made,-an encouraging
recognition for the party and the
choice of an able, honest and worthy
man for the high position. Mr.. Ma
son served in the Union Army, is d
lawyer of wide practice and has
been among the most popular and
successful leaders of the Republican
party in this State. He ran for
Congress IN this District in 1882
and came within ten votes of being
elected, when the usual Democratic
majority was yet as many hundreds
In the last campaign he ran very
close for Judge of the Supreme
Court.

FROM OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.

The President is moving very dc.
liberately in making appointments.
This is very irritating to the Office
seekers, particularly those piling up
bills at present at the Washington
hotels. But, owing to the general
excellence of the appointments so
far made, the people seem disposed
to think that Gen. Harrison should
be allowed to take his own time in
selecting the men that make or mar
his administration.
The total number of appointments
to date exclusive of the Cabinet, is
less than fifty, divided among nine.
teen States and Territories.

urday evening, in order to be OH

rison, son of the President, is a can.
didate for the u. S. Senate from the

1t is fortunate for the working re.

that j. s. Clarkson was finally per.
suaded to accept the position of
First Assistant Postmaster General.
From a political stand point, it is
about the most important position
under the Government, about go.
600 fourth class postmasters being
appointed by him. No man in the
country is better fitted to undertake
this work than Mr.. Clarkson he is
thoroughly familiar with the men
who did the real work 10 the cam.
paign Of 1884 and 1883, and what is
more important, he will see to it
that the drones do not capture the
honors and rewards due the "hust.
lers.'
