A Moseey man, prominent and
influential in the councils Of the
party, referring to the meeting, said
to Dispatch reporter yesterday;
at is simply an effort of very
small faction Of the party to control
tie federal patronage. 1t won't
amount to anything. Mosely, who
is at the head ofthe Republican state
executive committee, is sustained by
the party. This same faction attem-
pied to depose him at a meeting held
in this city some time ago, but eyre
giously failed. 1t could not be 9th
erwise as Moseley has eleven out of
the sixteen members of the execu
tive committee on his side, and the
chairman Of nearly every county and
district committee il the state.N
"Has the Nose ey faction an slate
for federal offices?'
"None."
"Wha is your program
"Well, Moseley is in Washington
watch ng the proceedings. and when
the proper time arrives to move in
this matter he will duly notify the
others, and they W Il perhaps hold a
convention in this city to agree upon
names to present to the president. F"
Another party. who did not desire
his name used, said that he heard it
from a perfectly re liable source that
there was letter shown to delegates
to Hardy's Birmingham convention
emanating from some one in a posit
ion to speak for the administration,
that tn ew damp blanket on the
ardor of the old guard. It sail that
the new adm nistration in distribut
ing th4 federal patronage in this
state, will be aided by the sugges
tions and recommendations Of the
protection element, and that through
such means it expected to build up
a respectable Republican parry in

A Scottish Centenariau.

Peter Laing, a Scotchman who has Just en-
tered upon his 105th year, is the subject of an
article in the Pau Mall Gazette, which says of
him: "Peter was a hard drinker in his day, the
nature of his calling-that of a carter-and the
character of his associates, tending in that direc-
ton. 1t was his frequent custom, latter heavy
carouse, to breakfast in the early morning on
handful of oatmeal taken from the miller's
heap and soaked with water from the mill-lade
On many a morning this rough breakfast suf-
feed. with an occasional dram for the per-
Torrance of days work which few of his fell
lows were equal to. When upward of eighty
years of age Peter was able to carry a sack of
grain on his back of a weight that would crush
in the attempt many man accustomed to such
work of half his years. Living much in the
open air, always poorly clothed. and bestowing
little attention. as far as food was concerned;
on the inner man, Peter seems never to have
been afflicted with the common ailments which
might be expected to follow such mode of
living. In respect to bodily attire, Peter was
always somewhat Indifferent, and he went
about his avocation in all weathers with
his breast exposed. The old man feels
uncomfortable even now when closely
muffled up at the throat or chest. 1t is the
centenarian's custom to retire to rest about
or o'clock in the evening. and, as his habit
always has been, he gets up by 3 or in the
morning, and soon after breakfasts on oatmeal
relish for this early meal that is only common
to him in the morning. He finds a solace, how
ever, throughout the day in his tobacco pipe,
and is generally ready to enjoy a smoke and
crack with any visitor who may look in upon
him in his lonely ROOM"

might venture upon word Of advice. "Yes,
by all MEANS" said the new premier. "what
is it?" 1t was with regard to ecclesiastical
patronage-that he should be especially care

DISTRICT COMMISSIONERSHIP.
Mr.. webb's Nomination to Go Over.

Unless something should occur to induce
the republican members Of the Senate District
committee to reconsider determination al
ready formally reached, Commissioner webb's
nomination win not be reported to the Senate
at all As has already been stated in The
STAR, the full District committee decided yes
terday that no action should be taken on the
nomination pending the Scholastic investiga-
ton by the House special committee. Should
this committee complete its work withoutfinding
anything rejecting upon Mr.. Webb's fitness
for the position, there will still remain politi-
cal and other reasons which seem, to the
republican members OF the committee,
at least to be sufficient for not acting on the
nomination. They have received a number of
protests from prominent republican citizens of
the District giving reasons why Mr.. Webb
should not, in the opinion Of the writer's, be
confirmed. One reason given, which is in it.
self deemed sufficient, is that he is not repre-
sentative republican; that his first appoint
ment was due to his ''mugwump" proclivities,
and that his reappointment was not made at
the instance Of republicans or after any inquiry
as to the wishes OF the District people, but was
made as personal appointment" by
the President to crafty his regard
for Mr.. Webb. If Mr.. Wheatley is to be sue
ceeded by democrat it is thought by the re-
publican members of the committee to be but
proper that the other member should be rep
resentative republican whose appointment
would be satisfactory to Gen. Harrison, to the
Senate, and to the republicans of the District
For this and other reasons they have decided
not to report upon the nomination.
If the democrats of the committee should
express willingness to accept Mr.. Webb as
their representative on the board of Commits
sioners, leaving General Harrison free to ap-
point republican to succeed Mr.. Wheatley,
the republicans would probably consent to It.
But, of course, the democrats would not be
satisfied "a
and they as well as the other members of the
committee, are understood to be satisfied to
permit the nomination to fail on the 4th of
March for want Of action.
