(From Our Regular Correspondent,
WASHINGTON, November 4-The
President went out OF town to-day, and
many people who expected that ne wouio
announce some important appointments
were disappointed. Several members Vi
Congress called at the White House
thinking they would have chance !" put
in ticks in behalf OF friends but they I'd"
to come away empty-handed.
II e now said that the President VIII
,robabIv MT consider appointments unth
after the elections next Tuesday. ana
number OF matters affecting Virginia ana
North Carolina will have 10 be delayed
notably misunderstanding OF the Fresi-
DENTAL class that were sent up from lhe
department weeks ago, and hafheu
urgent" ,,,.,t,,
REPORTS have gone out from Washing
ton within the past week cohcerhins
Virginia matters that are inconsistent, 10
say the least, and people VIII 90 ven 70
silt them carefully before they tuuiD'c
10 conclusions. For instance there was
',,,tIIcation 10 the effect that inasmuch
az the President was much dispietseu
over the attitude Of Senator Daniel on the
financial question he was thinking scti-
oueIv of appointing the distinguished sem
ator 10 the position on the Uniteu S'ates
Circuit Court made vacant py the
death of Judge Bond, and the turIher
startling statement was made that the
President wanted to get Major Dahiei GUY
Of the way I'm order to make room Tor
the election OF General Fltz. Lee ana MT.
Uolmes Conrad to represent virginia IN
the Senate. The same paper which pup
lIshed this remarkable story not many
ynontbs ago tried to make IL appear that
the President was extremely anxious 10
have Hon John GOode elected senator
and that was given as reason LOT ms
failure TO again appoint Mr.. Goode soliel-
tor-general OF the Department or Jusuce'
According TO such reasoning the fresi-
dent ought now to be anxious 10 nave
Mr. Goode elected for the short term In
place OF General Hunton, but right mere
trouble comes. because II the President
js rewarding friends and Furnishing enc
mics. as some people Insist he could not
he consistent by going back on General
Hunton, as the latter was with the Ad-
ministration on the unconditional repeal
Of the Sherman law, and most naturally
the President would feel like standing by
the Warrenton statesman II he were really
taking such q hand in Virginia poll
tics as the publications alluded TO would
indicate.
ANOTHER FAIRY TALE.
Another strange romance recently re-
lated IL I'm direct opposition 10 another
fairy-tale, and IL Is that Captain Jack
Hudgfn. Of Carolina county, who has the
endorsement of the Virginia delegation
for Marshal of the Eastern District, Will
have TO be turned down because he IS re-
garded as the particular personal friend
Of Senator Daniel, and also because he
did not see nj TO support Colonel O'Fer-
rail- for the gubernatorial nomination; and
that fact will cut a figure when the APP
pointment is made These stories are
anything but consistent. one day the
Virginia people are told that Mr.. Cleye-
land Is going 10 give Senator Daniel
fine life-position on the bench to get him
out OF the Senate. and almost the next
day they are RECALLED with the yarn that
the President is going to turn down
Captain Hudgin because he Is the friend
Of Senator Daniel.
Senator Daniel is backing a particular
friend for fudge, and his friends declare
he could not be induced to accept the
judgeship II It were offered him, as he
much prefers TO serve out his term in the
upper branch OF Congress.
AS TO the marshalship, not n member
Of the Virginia delegation will relax In
the least his efforts to secure the APP
pointment OF Captain Hudgin. except Mr..
Meredith, who did not join his colleagues
I'm making the recommendation MIR.
Meredith has a candidate OF his own. but
he is in possession Of nothing yet which
leads him to believe his man will be APP
pointed.
The Attorney General talks as II the re-
commentator of the delegation will be
accepted when the time comes for the
appointment Of Marshal Clarks successor,
but II II should be decided TO select
some one else. the complete record will
show that five out of six OF the dele
cations slate proved acceptable 10 the
President, and that would be doing very
well, in view OF the claims made last
spring that not more than half would
pull through. 1t appears that the dele
cation had a very clear understanding
with the President before they held their
conference.
ELIAS AND SIMMONS.
The President, before leaving the city
this morning. ordered the reappointment
at once OF Kope Elias and +. NJ. Sim
mons - be Collectors OF Internal Rev
enue for North Carolina. Mr.. Elias re-
turned TO the city to-day.
The Senate committee failed even 20
report the nominations OF Elias and SIM
mons. and the reappolntment by the Pres
ident will in the interim give MIR.
Simmons a chance to take hold. 1t Is
expected, however, that the fight will be
renewed in the Senate. though when Il
commences both Collectors VIII be In
possession Of the Offices, and viii have
the backing Of Cleveland.
