WASHINGTON, d. g., Nov. %, 1889.
A large delegation of the Young Mems
Republican Club of Baltimore, headed by
(,ep. King and Mr.. Brown, numbering about
one hundred, arrived here to-day and called
upon the President and Postmaster General
Wapamaker IN the interest of Mr.. johnson,
q candidate for postmaster OF that city. 1t
is not supposed they will succeed in their
object, as Mr.. Stock bridge, the republican
Congressman from that district, has recon-
mended another man. The President in.
suited the last republican delegation from
Baltimore that called upon him by stopping
their spokesman almost at the beginning of
his address and telling them it would be i'm
possible for him to recollect what they
might intend to say.
Congressman Bowden, of Virginia, was at
the Capitol to-day. He says he under
stands the President will continue In the
future as in the past to recognize General
Malone as the head of the republican par
ty in Virginia. MIR. Aguew, of Alexandra,
also here to-day, says that his lnfornatloh
on the subject 10 to the same effect.
II is understood that lawyer Chandler,
who left here year or two ago to accept
the position of chief counsel for railroad
company in ST. Louis, will return here, as
The republicans in charge of the Pan
American Congress have played the mem
bers of that congress for all they were worth
"a an advertising medium. In the first
place they were made to advertise carriage
mandatory 10 Ohio, then Postmaster Gen.
ersl Wanamaker's store Ia Philadelphia,
and last, the product of wine maker in
California.
The following changes in the 4th class
postoffices of Virginia were made to day
Camp, Smyth. county, G. l.. jennings, ap
pointed postmaster. vice L. NJ. Horne. re
signed Garfield, Fairfax county, Mamie
B, Grehap, vice Silas Devers, resigned ;
Holsten Mills, Smyth county, Sarah Il
Carrico, vice E. M. Worden, removed Rice
vile, Pittsylvsna county, J. w. Douglass,
vice A. N. Ferguson, resigned; Soudan,
Mecklenburgh county, P. s. Grige, vice ii
W. Bouldin, resigned.
Representatives Mills, Hooker, McRae
Brown, and other democrats, meeting by
chance at the Capitol this morning. held an
| informal conference in the House lobby al
which it was determined, that as the repub
| lican5 had issued Call for caucus to be
held in the hall of the House on Saturday
| next, and as that caucus might possibly be
! prolonged, owing to the squabbe Tor the
Offices OF the House, and the democrats
| thereby be prevented from using that hall
| for their caucus previous to the meeting oi
the House unless it he held before Saturday
IL should be held on Friday night, and issued
cali for that purpose. The only thing
that will probably be done by their caucus
will be to compliment the present officers Of
the House by unanimously renominating
them.
1t was asoertained to-day that Mr.. Reed
will receive the vote of the solid republican
delegation from New York for Speaker. Ii
has been thought that two of that deiega-
ton were opposed to him, but assurances
were received from both of them to-day that
they, too, would be in line. AS the time for
the nomination approaches, it looks more
and more as If Mr.. Reed would be successful.
Many inquiries have been made here yesterday
and to day for General Malone, who WAS expected
here last Saturday from New York, but up 10
noon to-day he had not arrived.
1t seems that tho only subordinates who Will be
removed for having had their pensions rcrated,
are the unfortunate few who arc democrats
1t is understood that the project for the estah-
ishment of postal savings bank will be pushed
at the coming session of Congress.
A movement is on foot here for grand boaie-
ward from this city to Baltimore.
