WASHINGTON. D. O.. Aug 6. 1889.
U. 8. Judge Paul, U. 8. District Attorney
Craig, and U. 8. Internal Revenue Collector
MoCaull, were In the CITY yesterday, 1t was
rumored to oppose the appointment of
Gruobs to the Richmond postoffice, but
whether 30 or not is not known. IL 80, their
work was certainly one of supererogation,
as it had long before been determined that
the place referred to would be given to Mr..
Blair Morris.
Since Mr.. John s. Wise has returned to
New York, from which city he occasionally
comes down to this town to see about Vir-
gina affairs, he has denied that he was We.
hement in the presence of MIR. Harrison.
Before his interview with the President he
said he would take the stump in Virginia
for the republican ticket if treated fairly, and
make things lively down there, but since
that interview he has had no more to say on
that subject.
Congressman Williams, of Ohio, a republi-
can, was at the Capitol to-day. He says 1t
would not be unusual if the democrats
should elect majority of the Legislature In
his Safe this year, as they have done 30 IN
every year following Presidential election
for the last twenty years. He says, nov
ever, there Is no doubt about the election Of
Foraker, the republican candidate for Gov
ernor.
Up to two o'clock to-day neither of the
two newly appointed internal revenue col
leotors for Virginia had filed his bond at the
Office of the Commissioner of Internal ReVe
nue.. There is no legal limit to the time 10
which they can file their bonds, but they
cannot enter upon the discharge OF their OF.

A we'll posted" Virginia republican here
to day saws the account of the recent inter
view between the President, Gel. ClarksoD

of the republican party in Virginia. de
| saws that that statement was calculated to

wont let 90 an Office even when It thunders.

Some time ago Secretary Tracey said be
was perfectly satisfied with his present po-
sition and was not thinking about the
vacant seat on the Supreme Bench. Last
week about ten of the Secretsry's New
York friends met here "by chance" though
not more than three stopped at The same
hotel. They urged the President to I'LL the
vacancy referred to by the appointment o!
he Secretary But Mr.. Harrison stopped
all further efforts in that direction by tell.
Ing them plainly that MIR. Tracey did not
live in the circuit presided over by the late
Judge Matthews, and that he would not ap'
point him.
