NYRICK'S FATE SEALED.
His Chances for a COnSulShip Killed
By His Editorials.

wump and Questioning His OemOc-
-Congressman Livingston Ig-
nored by Constituents Seeking Post
rnasterships in His District.
Washington, May 15.-To-day Mr.
Cleveland secluded himself and worked
like a department clerk The only visitor
he saw was Senator Vest of Missouri,
with whom he had an appointment.
Il viii not appoint any man to Office
who calls me a mugwump or i'll any way
doubts my democracy The person who
spoke these words was Grover Cleveland,
and he was angry. They were spoken to
Judge Crisp and they had a direct and
distinct bearing on the application of Ed
itor Bascom Myrick OF the Americus
Times-Becorder, who asked the President
to appoint him TO- the Berlin consulate.
The files of the AmericUs Timos-Recorder
have cut quite figure in this issue.
Speaker Crisp mas been urging Editor
Myrick's case and Secretary Hoke Smith
has been opposing it, Somehow Mr..
Smith found it uphill work to get at
complete file of Editor Myric1's
paper, and the story runs
that it was not until last
Saturday that it was secured and the OBJ
jectional paragraphs We're unearthed.
They vitrOlizcd Mr.. Cleveland by calling
his democracy into question and referring
to him generally in uncOmplimcntary
language. 1t was after reading these
squibs that tho President gave utterance
to the words quoted above and
they mean the overthrow Of Editor
Myrick's consular ambition But Editor
Myrick is no worse off than his chief com
petition. Mr.. Owens Of Kentucky, who
sinnCd in pretty much the same manner.
He called Mr.. Cleyeland's democracy into
question. and it is probable that the ex-
ports of Kentucky whisky to Berlin won't
yield any more revenue this year than
last.
LIVINGSTON DISCOUNTED.
Although this is the time of the year
when public attention is most generally
centored on the early young man in tan
shoes and " blazer, Col. Leonidas Liv-
ingston continues to attract much notice.
He is mad because he did not name a
postmaster at Conyers, and he swelters
because ne may not be able to name the
incumbents for the other Offices in his
district. The applicants have taken the
alarm, and are sending their papers di-
rect to Postmaster General Bissell. What
is the matter with the Coionel2 We
confess we don't know nor does any one
seem to know. He says he is going 10
take his grievance ON the stump with
him next fall, but what grievance and
against whom ne does not say He thinks
that Secretary Hoke Smith has hoodoood
him, when as matter of fact Secretary
Smith never indOrsed the COnyers ap-
pointee, but upon being asked as to his
illness said he was an excellent man, and
he IS. Gov. NOrthen and other Georgia
people indOrscd him, and so did Senator
Gordon, and as MIR Livingston was
slow about suggesting a man for
the position, MIR Bissell acted and
Weaver won. Only to-day MIR. Living
ston recommended a Mr.. Means for the
Oxford Office and IIoke Smith said he
was fit man, and Mn Means went in

BOSS BUCK DOOMED.
Boss Buck is doomed. The documents
are in Washington, and the President will
be given a.chance to read them to-mor-
row. That hulr trunk at Juvin gave up
It's treasure and the general
October circular is not only here
Dut another and q moro offensive circular
addressed to the republican leaders of the
Anth district In The one mailed to W
U. Alexander at Gloster Ga. Col. Buck
ADVISES all republicans to strike the
Gespsed democrats by voting for Harrison
and Reid and Parson Picket. It's corler,
and is issued on government stationery,
bearing the imprint of Marshal Bucks
Office. Charges against Boss Buck were
prepared to-day and will be submitted
along with political documents and Con-
gresham Charlie Moses is going to be the
Doctor
Postmaster General BisseIl re-
marked to-day to Representative Moses
that even though the term of fourth
class postmaster had expired charges
would have to be lodged TO oust him 1t
appears that Postmaster General Bissell
Is making rules, while Fourth Assistant
Postmaster General Maxwell is running

selected to-day is Miss Maggie Gordon at
terry, Houston county. She relieves
Miss Emma S. Reed.
HoKE SMITHS oFFICE-sEEKERs.
n ANY man who saw the crowd around
secretary Hoke Smiths Office to-day
could not wonder that that official had
been driven to horseback riding. On the
contrary, it would seem d marvel that he
4ao not chosen a balloon or called on
Langly for his flying machine There
was standing room only, and not much of
Ihau. The crowd was eager, intense and
pefsplrlng. The pressure for Office at the
department. is always heavy because of
lhe many desirable appointments in its
numerous bureaus. The Indian Office and
'ne land Office are leaders in the matter
Vi patronage because of the many special
agents they employ and the opportunities
these places afford young men 70 travel in

pense.
