LURTY'S SUCCESSOR.
AN OKLAHOMA REPUBLICAN TO
BE THE APPOINTEE.

Jedge" Riley Uneasy over His Confr-
man-CoDgrcssionaI Proceedings and
General Washington News.
WASHINGTON, ID. c., July 3o.--LSpecial.,
The statement contained in recent TNIES
dispatch that no Virginia Republican was
| likely to succeed Mr. Lurty ~ Marshal Of
Oklahoma. was based upon information d.
rect from the White House, and it was con-
tirmed from another source to-day. 1t
seems clear that the President has
determined TO appoint a resident of
Oklahoma, and the nomination is
only delayed because there is sharp
fight between several Republicans of that
Territory. Captain Asa Rogers, of Nir-
gnia. who has been quite generally en-
dOrsed. said to-day he was satisfied that an
oklahoma Republican would be appointed.
Riley UNEASY.
Judge Riley. Of Acc)mac. who was rec
emily nominated for a small consulship in
/ Venezuela, ,haunts the Senate Chamber daily
| He said to-day he was very much afraid the
Senate would refuse To confirm him "be-
] tdu>f. duutu Auc - 'ul-'s thS 'fhhtI N'i
confirm any Nirginian."
The opposition to Riley's confirmation
came from his own party, and mainly from
Republicans who are seeking office. One
of the latter thus explained the op-
position 10 THE TIMES correspondents:
ITS not that we care anything
| for RILEY. but his appointment
depriycs some better man Of place. II
| fills the quota Of our places in the state
| Department, and when better men are
urged. the reply j. made. 1--WE have given
YOU Riley. Now if Riley is rejected. we
will have a good claim to one more place.
and by pushing a good man we may get a
good appointment
The Informant Of THE TINES correspond
ent is very close 10 General Mah0ne and as
he * diligently seeking a place, he perhap,
referred 10 himself as the good man who
is more deserving than Riley. II is pr0ba-
BILE. however, that Judge Riley will be con-
iirmed. a. the comsulship offered him Is 80
small that the Senators Will not take inter-
est enough i'm the matter 10 combine for his
rejection.
GORMAN's TARIFF SPEECH
Senator Gorman j. receiving compliments
from all his party associates upon his we'll
timed and effective speech on the tariil.
Yesterday. It was not prepared speech by
any means. II was provoked 10y taunts of
Aldrich. and though imprOmptu, u had the
effect OF drawing the Republicans ont. | p
to that time the Republicans had declared
they would take no part in the tariil debate;
that they were satisfied 10 let their case 20
10 the country as made upand in pursuance
al this policy. it was tn" practice Of the Re
publicans 10 absent themselves from the
Chamber during tariff discussion. But
senator GOrman prOdded them so severely.
he punctured their false pretenccs 80 sue
cosslully. that they have been striving ever
since 10 meet and overcome the Maryland
senator's points. A. Democratic Sena-
tor quantity remarked to-day, German, =,
speech was like putting coal
Of fire on a terrapn's back. 1t made him
squirm and crawl. and he added that the
Republicans are now squirming and crawl
ing. To 10 the present the Democratic
senators admit that senator Gorman's
leadership has been wise and safe, and
they feel that they did well in placing him
at the front.
