Before Mr.. Simmons gave his consent 10

TWENTY-FIVE candidates for the collector

When Mr.. Otey, of Lvnohburg, withdrew
Captain Shepperd got the solid endorse

question was sprung, resulting in tho
fe-ontrance Of Mr.. Otey, and the
bringing TO the front Of about fifteen
other candidates whose applications
are now on file at tho Treasury.
They are good men and loyal Democrats
and have as much right 10 DO candidates

have stated frankly that they are candi-
dates only IN tho event Captain Shepperd
cannot again secure the position. There
seems 90 be no doubt. however. That Cap

/ lcotOrS Tho President has lnumated IN
strong terms that 1t Is his inclination to
reappoint Captain Sheppcrd, and has told
some OF that gentleman's friends that hls
endorsements are simply magnificent. 1t
/ is also the prevailing opinion here that
I the President will accept The entire
Virginia slate as the recommeudatlons
/ of the delegation are styled. The Presl-
/ dent expressed o desire 10 have tue dele

certainly there IS now no reason 10 Dc
hcve that be will refuse 20 ratliy the

/ hard work is being done ia the interest OF
! two or three estlm4ble Democrats who ana
not submit their oialm8 70 tho conference

/ Is some protesting going on; but, no mat

would have nOs have been satisfied. Mr..
! Cleveland is said 10 have recognized the

wants 10 stand BY the Senators and Repre-
g. natives IN these State matters unless

coNsuLsHr.
Roureseutative Henderson and Senator
! Pausum are active IN their Efforts To- So
care a good consulship for Major William
NJ. Robbins. Of North Carolina, and VIII
not relax until he l. provided f1r. The
President has practically promised the eX-
Congressman place IN the service. but
has not designated the place. II Is SAID
that Major Robbins would like either
Montreal or Havana. Other North Caro-
hnians who are being vigorously pressed
by their friends for consular positions, are
