STILL GOING SLOW.
NOT MANY DEVELOPMENTS AT THE
WHITE HOUSE YESTERDAY.
The North Carolina Pap-IIuntcrs-The
Virginia Republicans and the Collect
orship-The Ohio situation.
From Our Regular Correspondent,

WASHINGTON, June 25.-The President
had a number Of callers to-day, hut there
were not many actual developments ut the
White House. A few appointments were
made, but they are of local interest 20 sec
tions in which the lucky aspirants reside.
The North Carolina pap-hunters are almost
daily haunting the White House and the
departments, and the Office they are after
particularly is collector OF internal revc-
nue. in the district in which Representative
Cheatham lives He IL backing Young for
the place, and the impression prevails here
to-day that Young viii be appointed IN a
few days.
THE VIRGINIA RTPUBLICANF.
The Virginia Republicans are not ere
atiDg much Of a stir here at present,
though each faction, through its repre-
sentativeS still in the city, IS doing all II
can TO influence the powers that be in
making selections. just now the Malone
people are doing their level best 10 have
two collectors of internal revenue appoint
ed in Virginia. Secretary Window has lis
tened carefully, but he has not yet given
any assurances that he viii take up those
cases for several weeks. The talk IS that
he may possibly not dispose OF these
two Virginia cases until after he
returns from his summer vacation. The
antl-MahOne people seem to be pressing
him, and it would be 10 their interest TO
get a collector before the Republican State
Convention meets. If they could land
Colonel jim Frazier into the collectors
Office as tho successor of Captain Ham
Sheppard IL would be a great stroke.
PAT M'CAULL.
Malone, il is believed, will sacrifice Co
lionel Pat. NcCsull in the Lynchburg dis
trict if he can only secure the Richmond
4 acs fcr bf an AL FRYE
Colonel Asa Rogers. The latter has stood
faithfully by Malone through all fights
and misfortunes, and the wouId-be boss rs
disposed TO help him now that there is
chance of getting the Office for q iGpubh-
can.
HE WAS SWALLOWED.

loose in the Treasury Department young

of the ex-congrcssman Of that name, has

runner Of what IS coming IN all Of the de-
partments. This Administration is going
10 get all the scalps IN Nle time OF Demo
Gratis now in Office.

pepper, Va, and Is quite well known IN the

OHIO.
Fx-Congressman Martin 4. Foran, Of
Ohio is in the city. lie says that the po-
litfc1d battle in Ohio this year VIII be one
Of the hottest that has been fought IN
many long years. and he predicts that the
Democrats Will nominate eX-COnCressu&u
James T. Campbell for Governor and elect
him. he also SAYS that if the campaign is
properly managed and the Democrats re-
fuse 10 pledge i'm advance the seuatOrshp
