THE PRESIDENT
SOON TO MAKE IMPORTANT
NOMINATIONS.
Enthusiasm for Flower Guaged by
his.Finances.
From our regular correspondent.

From our regular correspondent.
The president has been given littl
opportunity to do anything except to re
ceive callers since his return to Wash
! ington, although many of his caller
have dropped word or two that ma,
prove useful in connection with tn
filling of certain important vacancies
1t is said that gentlemen interested il
the appointments to the circuit, or al
some call it, the appellate court judges
have been told that it was useless FOL
them to bother the president now as hs
will not take up those appointments
until congress meets, there being other
things requiring more immediate atten-
ton. There is vacancy on the bench
of the court Of claims, which meets on
9th list, that will probably be the first
one filed. Then there are the two va
csncles in the Interstate Commerce
Commission. which have resulted in
practically crippling the commission;
they will probably come next. Then
comes the re organization of the cabinet
which the retirement Of Secretary Proc
tor and Attorney Miller will
make necessary. The latter has not
been officially announced, but there is
little doubt of his having accepted a
place on the bench of the new circuit
court, for the district which will take in
Indiana.
The democrat who can enthuse over
the nomination of Flower for governor
by his party in New York has not made
his appearance In Washington, where
every body knows that Flower owes
every denomination or political pre-
ment OF any sort that he has ever er-
ceived to liberal expenditure OF cash.
His nomination shows that, however,
the democratic party in Ohio may stand
on the tariff the New Workers in the
party do not object to a man, who as a
member OF the house committee on ways
and means, has got as many Of his demo-
cratic friends protected by the Mckinley
bill as ne could.
Gov. Campbell has made an appeal to
the member Of the National Democrat
ic Committee for money and speakers
with which to meet the enthusiasm Of |
of the Ohio republicans, and he has re-
ceived some money, and the committee
has promised to send him a lot of speak
ers to help him try to make at least a |
show OF carrying on an active campaign. |
1t i'd common to find democrats who adj /
NIT that Campbell hasn't the slightest |
CHI ht,+ hot 41a., hal,n1,a ~,
up the fight because they hope that the /
Farmers Alliance Sight on Senator Sher-
man may result in giving the democrats |
control Of the leg islature. On the con-
trary, no republican who has been in
since the campaign opened /
has expressed the remotest doubt of re-
publican success.
the ostmaster-general is very well /
with the reception his circular
letter requesting county seat postmas-
ters to visit the postoffices in their
counties and report upon their condition,
has met with. He has already received
more than 300 replies, and in four tifths
OF them the postmasters gladly accepted
the work in exactly the lines suggested
by Mr.. Wanamaker, and few OF them
have already made their report. About
one-hfth or the mum Der were willing TO
undertake the work with some mcdifi-
cation entirely acceptable to the post
office department, and only few de-
clIned outright and all say that 1t is be-
cause they have no assistant that they
are compelled TO do so. Mr.. Wanamaker
is surprised and very much pleased to
note that many democratic postmasters
have entered into the thing with the
same enthusiasm as the republicans, and
be is confident that it will result in
greatly improving the service in small
postofhces.
