colonel Charles r. O'Ferrall. Governor
Eject OF Virginia. arrived here last night
and Is quartered at the Metropolitan,
vhere De win probably remain during
the balance Of this week This visit OF
Governor OFerrall is considered in line
with his declarations regarding his resis-
nation at which time he stated that
his object in not resigning was that
ta desired TO retain his influence in
appointments and fulfil the promises he
rrd made. True TO his word, Colonel
lFerrau Is I'm Washington, and will de-
vote the succeeding days to visits TO the
White House and the departments In the
interest Of his friends Many of the gem
r.men in whose interests Colonel OFer-
-.u has enlisted himself, are already
rr the ground. and those who are among
tHe chosen Will probably arrive in the
next few days. as il is thought they
have very generally been notified Of his
presence here Ii IS also thought that
Governor OFerran win have a word or
two with Mr.. Cleveland regarding the
successorship 20 Judge Bond. and as 1t
is authoratively stated that Colonel
OFerrau does not desire this position
himself. Il is safe 10 predict that some
other Virginian viii be recommended.
colonel OFerran is pursuing sys-
tematic and efficient method I'm his recon-
mendatons To several gentlemen who
called upon him to-day he stated that ne
preferred not 20 sign papers TO the de- |
n8rtments. but would 60 alone TO the /
officials and make such recommendations /
as he deemed sufficient. and most desira- |
bic. This is wise and cOnsiderate In every /
respect. as IL relieves the earnest ana mod

would naturally feel in hearing himself
so profusely praised I'm the presence OF
august officials of the administration.
