Big FLUMS NOT RIPE.
Senator's MCPHERSON and
Smith on the Situation
Mr.. Geissennainer's
Craftsmanship.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 16. 1894 para
graph alnde its appearance in the Phila-
delphia Press recently to the effect that
it was not positively known whether
Senator Mcpherson desired to be re-
turned to the senate. This statement
has been called to the attention of close
friends OF the Senator, and there is au-
thority for saying that the Senat) Or has
no idea of Withdrawing from the racs for
the Senatorship. He is keeping himself
thoroughly posted as to the situation in
the State. and is very hopeful Of the re-
suit.
Senator Mcpherson. by the way, has
decided not to make q set speech upon
the financial question now before the
Senate. At least that is his present in-
%tention. He has discussed these mat
tiers 80 frequently and so thoroughly
that his position is we'll known, and he
does not need to say anything to
strengthen it. He will, of course, par
ucipate III the debate as it progresses
and has for some weeks been gathering a
vast amount of information bearing on
financial topics i'll order 10 be thor
ougnly equipped for any questions
pleased that there is now a chauce
of a plan which he suggested some
years q becoming d law. This is the
proposition To allow national banksts
issue circulation TO the par value of the
nonds deposited by them to secure cir
culatjon. Senator Mcpherson w ~ one of
the first advocates of this idea, AMI
though then he introduced 1t 1he time
was not ripe for its adoption ne now sees
the cay when 1t is taken MP az a popular
measure aud is endorsed by tue Admiuts-
traitor.
NO BIG APPOINTMENTS AT PRESENT.
There Is a general Impression among
the NHw .IarxaV nalauafinfl rhnf M fpdnr-
al appointments III tue State are to BE-
made tor some time-certafnly not until
after the President returns To Washing
ton. The most important matters peud-
ing, of course, are the Internal Revenue
Coiteetorsnips, and candidates for these
places are both numerous. aud heavily
endorsed. II was supposed that the COLI
ierence between Senators Mcpherson and
Smith in Jersey City last month had
settled the appointment for the
Camden district, but from the Dunn
Der OF applications received for this
office. 1t is quite certain that the New
Jersey democrats do not regard the mat
ter rs settled. All the applications are
being sent TO tne Treasury Department..
and will Detaken up AS soon as the Presi-
dent signifies his Intention of making the
appointments.
