dll and other Republicans Of Virginia are
urging Captain Asa Rogers. Of Petersburg,
for appointment as United states Marshal
Of Oklahoma TO succeed Lurty. resigned.
II is claimed that Virginia is entitled TO
the place, masmuch as Lurty voluntarily
surrendered it. All the Malone influence
is being marshaled for Rogers.
In connection with Lurty's resignation, il
rs said that bis plea that there was no
money in the Office did not exactly repie-
sent his reasons for resigning. TIE lIMts
correctly explained The motive Of tue resls-
nation. Being "a new country. The popula-
tion is rather rough. and Lurtl asa not care
10 keep his family surrounded by such in
fuonccs. II is said that the court remains
ia session all the year round, and the mar
shal gets - per day besides fees for all
papers served.
TO BE RETIRED.
Representative McCOmas, Of Mary land.
who owe, his seat 10 Democratic voters, has
lost the confidence of at least that portion
of his constituents. When Mr.. McCOmas
first entered the field as an aspirani for Con
gro-~ionai hOnor-. Dee was very conserNa-
tive. He deprecated pariislnship IN
all its aspects. and promised TO max,
himself foremost in opposing those
who sought 20 keep alive enmity be
tween the sections. A. the people
extended the public life Of Mct0mas hc
crew more and more aggressive ana became
f1rgctful of bis earlier lodges. In his lasl
rrfrr.. nod fNI nv "a
reguar Democrat. and. unless All slgis
mh. Mr.. McComa- viii bc retired 10 private
lif, next November. mindful Of the con
-eryatiye charact,rOf the people behlndhlm,
and misled 10y "a foolish ambition aud the
nattery of such violent partlsans as hcnne-
dY. of OHIO. Mct tOmas has champoned the
mtaucst partisan schemes of the present
Congress. His open advocacy of the force
bin has done more than all else 10 arouse
tine resentment of his constituents. Among
these people the idea ot the eNert!on Oi ieG-
pral power in the elections Is ahhorreni.
and Sir. MctOmds made the mistake Oi
standing forth as ifs champion. lie j. on
record in an impassiOnCd speech for the bill
and for this his constituents have deter
mined to punish him. Republicans OF
the sixth Maryland district, who
are engaged In business, ana have
money invested in coal mines and oiher
properties are bittcragdin-t Nee Omas, as TO
"a large extent the future of their trade and
prosperity depend, upon good relations
with south. Tia" Republican merchants OF
Baltimore have starred a fund 10 be made
up hy Republicans exclusively for the de-
leat of McCOmas for reelection, because OF
his advocacy Of the Force bill. With this
state of affairs. the chances are that III,
DEMOCRATS will have a solid delegation ~
tue ueNl House from Maryland.
