APPOINTMENTS WISELY MADE.
Ex-Gov. BULLOCK Speaks a Good Word
For President Cleveland.
From the Mem York Times

From the Nelg York Times.
"Are there any men who want Office In
Georgia2 Well, l should say there are.
Except for the business men, every one is
willing to serve his country said ex-Gov
Rufus B. Bullock of Georgia to New York
Times reporter at the Fifth Avenue hotel.
"They are ready to have it understood
that they are willing, too, )" he continu ed
land most of them expect to get something.
There a few ex-office holders, however, who
have taken warning at Mr.. Cleveland's rule
and have made their escape from Washing
ton and now are at home"
"What do you think of the appointments
up to date" ex-Gov. Bullock was asked.
. / think they are good" he said. 81
don't see why any democrat should have
any objections TO the selection of Judge
Gresham to be Secretary of State. His tariff
ideas have been more nearly those of the
democrats than OF the republicans for some
time. He said so plainly before election,
and voted for Mr.. Cleveland, and so it
seems right and proper for Mr. Cleveland
to take him as one Of his advisers"
"Do you think it was good polticsM
81 think it was very clever politics. Mr..
Gresham has a large following, who will
naturally 60 with him to the Democratic
party. 1t would be natural for q large
proportion of the disbinctively Gresham
element of the Republican party to
go with him. He is fully capable of hand
ling the affairs of the state department, aud
his appointment ought to be looked on as a
good thing from party standpoint
"How about Hoke SmithF'
sit will be found during the next four
years that Hoke Smith, as Secretary OF the
Interior, will make national reputation
aside from the efforts of some newspapers
which are having so much fun with his
name. He has shown that he is a man Of
force and ability by his career in Georgia"
"Will the two elements OF the Georgia
democracy uniteW
BLESS you they have united" said exc
Gov. Bullock. They did it in a hurry az
soon as the result of the Chicago conven-
ton was known. All democrats worked in
harmony during the campaign. There are
no serious fractional differences"
"What does the farmers alliance amount
tor
'Not very much as political factor"
DO the Georgia people want free silver"
''They have so declared themselves, and
they will stand by their declarations,
think. Many of them who want free coin
age do not understand precisely what Ia
meant by it, or how they would be affected
if a free coinage bill were passed, but the
agricultural classes we're discontented, and
30 they said, Give US free silver They
will insist, suppose, that that is what they
WANT
"What sort Of tariff bill do they wantFn
'It is hard to say. Some elements want
protection. The duty on tin plate, how
ever, is a hard thing for US because of the
extensive fruit canning industries. We
don't want the duty on that"
Nv hat about wool"
"That cuts little figure IN Georgia We
can't raise wool there. Some Of the best
grazing ground in the country is in the
state, aud sheep could be raised there sue
cessfully under natural conditions. The
trouble is there are too many dogs. The
original Georgia man who owns a farm had
rather have dog than a sheep. About
every man ia the country districts has from
