WASHINGTON. Aug. 2S.-Col. Buck leaves
tomorrow morning for Atlanta, not to re-
turn, he says, for several months. He had
a long interview with First Assistant Post
master General Clarkson last night about
politics, and another this morning
about postoffices. Col. Buck went
over the Georgia districts with
Gen. Clarkson last night. He told
him that repub blican candidates would be
nominated in most of them, and that Col.
Darneu at least would be elected. Mr..
Clarkson promised such help as he could
give as secretary Of the congressional CAM
paign committee if he takes that place next
month, but he could not give any money, at
least at present, for the campaign chest is
not as yet filed.
ASSESSMENTS NOT PAID YET.
The congressman have not paid their 800
assessments. The government clerks have
not gotten their assessments and the manu-

then, kno wing that the next House will be
democratic The republican managers
here have had some idea
that the farmers alliancemen
might agree in some cases to unite with the
republicans in the organization of the next
House in return for republican support,

this SO far as Georgia is concerned by telling

DENNING's CASE.
To-day Col. Buck presented the case of
Col. Denning as strongly as possibly to
Gen. Clarkson, claiming that there was no
need of a new investigation unless new
charges were produced. As a result Gen.
Clarkson will not send a new inspector to
Augusta unless there appears to be some
reason for it when the latter arrives, which
the Augustans have telegraphed are on the
way. Col Buck showed Gen. Clarkson to-day
the original of Mayor Mays letter, which
was published some time ago, acquitting
Col. Denning of the charges of check
raising and tnaladministration Of his
brothers. estate.
BUCK STIRs UP WRIGHT.
By the way, Mr.. Wright is excited about
Buck this morning, in which Col.

to defeat Col Denning, and that he need not
hope to profit by them. Mr.. Wright ex-
poets his friend, Senator Blair, to get the
postofice for him, notwithstanding Col.
Buck, provided be beats Col. Denning with
Maj. Boyce's friends. Col. Buck has also
presented his Denning arguments to Chair
man Sawyer Of the Senate postof11ce COM
uittee.
THE HoGANSvILLE PoSToFFICE.
Col. Buck inquired at the postofflce de-
partment yesterday whether the commits.
sion of Clafton (colored) as postmaster at
Hogansville had been issued yet. He
learned that it had been held up by order of
Postmaster General Wanamaker ever since
the appointment was made in Postmaster
General Wanamaker's absence. The reason
could not be learned.
THE DALTON OFFICE.
Daltons postofice is supposed to be in
q similar suspended condition, Mr.. Triplett
having declined It.
Col. Buck says that if the Savannah re-
pualicans will get together and name man
for postmaster he will recommend him at
once, although he will probably not be ap-
