The Democrats Well Satisfied With
President Clevelsnd's ppointments.
The Republicans, OF Course, Trying
TO Play Critic-A Belief That Black
burn VIII Be Give. an Office.
WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE adjourn-
meut os the Senate and the hassy departure
OF many OF its members, has had the effect
to thin out the vast army OF oaice-seekers,
and the hotel aud boarding house keepers
are immeasurably the losers. The demo-
cratic statesmen believe that the Presidents
appointments 30 far have shown q wise dis
elimination, and that the Senate commit
tees have been reconstructed on q good
basis. The republicans on the other hand
maintain that the nominations are open to
criticism, and that the committees are NOT
near so strong as they were.
The Georgia, and in fact all the southern
contingents, OF otIice-seekers, are growing
smaller About the Metropolitan hotel, the
headquarters OF the southerners, one can
scarcely find q clrpora's guard OF colonels
and each outgoing train carries some Of
them to their distant homes.

DOCTORS AFTER APPOINTMENTS.
Georgia doctors are plying Secretary
Hoke smith with applications Cor positions
as pension medical examiners, These Off
cials are appointed in the districts in which
| the doctors themselves live from the local
ranks Of the profession and not, as seems to
| be understood. from the profession gener-
ally. This being the case, an examining
surgeon in q southern district wOuld hardly
earn his salt. It would be like offering
| peanuts for sale in graveyard.
