Special to THE MORNING CALL

WASHINGTON, March 27.-The discussion
of the question of appointments is becom-
ing very tiresOme to Californians here.
They have waited long and patiently, and
with the exception of Denis appointment
to-day have not received a single plum, nor
do they know what 10 expect. Cleveland
seems bound to follow an Independent line
of policy. He appears to think that the
way to ingratiate himself with the people
is to ignore politicians as much as possible.
lie actually relies in some measure upon
the advice of Republicans, believing that
he can secure from them, as dsinterested
parties, more reliable information concern
ing applicants for Office than from Dem
ocrats.
Senator White left for New York yester-
day and will return on Wednesday. In
few days thereafter he will leave for Cal
nornia, not waiting for the adjournment OF
the Senate, which may not be for two or
three weeks yet He will in all probability
not call at the White House again unless
asked to do SO by President Cleveland.
1t is reported that Representative Geary's
last interview with the President was not
entirely satisfactory to the Californian, and
that be left here somewhat disgruntled, re-
solved to let the Offices take care of them
be recognized in some way and that Dag
gett should be made Superintendent of the
Mint, and, s yet, neither of these things
has been done, nor does there seem to be
any great likelihood that either will be
done.
Representative Mcguire leaves for Bati-
more tomorrow to stay a few DAYS.
j. j. DwyeT returned from New York TO-
day and will leave for San Francisco to-
morrow, where he expects to arrive on next
Monday morning. He has given up hope
of being appointed Minister to Japan.
Tarpey leaves for home Wednesday. He
is feeling little bit sore at not being
recommended for Collector of Customs, but
he announced to his friends that he intends
running for Governor of California two
years from now.
Jack Hays has not yet fled his papers
for the Naval Office, preferIing TO wait
little longer and see what chances there are
for him before he runs the risk of being
turned down. Captain Barrett OF Los An
geles has some excellent backing for the
United States marshalship for the Southern
California district. Senator White is sup
porting him earnestly. and he stands good
chance 10 be appointed.
Senator Stanford and ex-senator FELTON,
both say they are taking no hand in the
game. Stanford viii probably leave here
before the adjournment and FELTON, will
remain month or so longer.
representative CamiDettl says he has not
been crushed" by Postmaster-General
Bssell. as lately reported by Washington
dispatch. The report says that Caminetti,
having called on the Postmaster-GeueraI,
was told by him that 10 recommendation of
hFl
would be sufficient Endorsement for
the appointment Of Postmas ers with
out being accom- panied by a petition
from the citizens of that town. The
POstmaster-G General was reported as saying
that the appointment of a Postmaster at
RoundtOp. Cal, who receives a salary Of
s3 so per year, would be made upon Cami-
netti's recommendation only when ap-
proved by the citizens of that town. Cami-
netu would like to have it known that he
has not seen the Postmaster-Gener eral and
that the reported interview with him is
mistake. The recommendation of Repre-
seDtatiyes in Congress will be duly cOnsid-
cred, and their requests for appointments is
Will be complied with where there is no
counter petition OF the citizens. Where
this is the case the appointment will be
made wholly on its merits. Camlnetti has
an engagement with Assistant Postmaster
General Maxwell tomorrow to discuss the
pUstof1ce appointments.
