WAsHrsGrox. April 2O.-This has been
bleak day in Washington. The rain
poured in torrents and the wind at times
blew a gale. II was dreary sort of day
for the expectant Democrats who hoped
10 see their names on the list of appoint
men;s. The batch given out this morning
was the first of the week, but they were
oil postmastcrs of the presidential class
and not name for either Virginia or
North Carolina. hut then it must be re-
membered these two Statos have ALREADY
had their prOpor:lOnate snare ot the
post-ofiice changes. Both the President
Old the POstmAster-ttenefal are SUR
ING SO far 10 the rule OF allowing th9
Republican pOstmasters IN the more I'M
portant Offices TO serve out their terms.
Mr.. Bissell ia emphatic on tho SUBJECT
although he told Virginia congressman
few weeks ago that he hoped TO get ruling
our wav." By that be evidently meant
that he was figuring 20 chop on the heaus
Of the Republicans regardless OF thelr coii-
missions.
ALL CONE HOME.
COMPARED with other DAYS, the crowd at
the White House TINS morning was small,
ard there was a noticeable absence OF
Nirciuians. This was due probably 10 the
fact that both senators are out OF town
and most OF the representatives. from tho
State. They have been very active IN pc-
half Of their constituents for the past i've
or six weeks. and the President and mem
bers Of his Cabinet have intinated thAI
apuoiutments cannot be expected unless
the higher officers Of tho government are
given time to reach conclusions. lhis had
| the effect OF cleaning the city OF most oi
the Senators and Represcutatiyes, ana
there has also been corresponding thih-
nIng out of the applicants for Once
