BUCKS HEAD TO co SOON.
The Georgia Leaders Looking for a
Man for His Place.


Representative Mobly, Sam Dunlap
and Judge Weaver Among the Men
Considered at a Conference-Smith
Offers to Make Up With Livingston.
Washington, May 17.-This has been a
dav of political events in Washington so
far as Georgia matters are concerned. At
p conference held this morning at the in
terror department the whole field
of local politics in Georgia was carefully
canvassed by Secretary Smith, Assistant
Attorney General Hall and Representa-
tive Moses. Much work was laid out and
some important appointments were agreed
upon A tit successor of Marshal Buck
was one of the subjects, and the merits of
n number of men were talked about. EX-
Representative Mobly of Harris county,
Sam Dunlap of Gainesville and
County Judge William NJ. Weaver
of Greene county were among those
whose names were discussed, for all three
Of these are pronounced candidates for
the office now that Mr.. Cleveland has said
that neither Col. Renfroe nor Pod Dis
nuke are acceptable to him. Judge Law
son arrived yesterday, and while he did
not appear at this meeting he remarked
tonight that one object Of his visit was
to press Judge Weaver for the vacancy
about to be made.
SMITHS ROW WITH LIVINGSTON.
Another subject was the strained rela-
tions existing just now between Secretary
Smith and Col. Livingston. 1t is under
stood that the secretary expressed his
willingness not to further interfere with
or to suggest appointments in the Fifth
district. But this concession did not
satisfy Col. Livingston, and he is not
willing to make peace until the Conyers
appointment is Cancelled and lis allowed
TO name a postmaster for that Office OF
course this sort of treaty didn't so down
with the secretary, and the conference
adjourned finally without having found
the necessary balm to pour upon this in
cipient war. Other matters OF an i'm
portant nature were talked about and
soon after these high dignitaries parted
one of them sent tclegraphic message to
a distinguished young Georgian which
may bring him at once to Washington
on an important mission. If he does come
and does accept, readiustment in the
Georgia political field will at once occur,
But for devout pledge to secrecy the
name of this lucky gentleman would be
cheerfully furnished.
CLEVELAND TO HELP CRISP.
Besides the happenings in the depart
ment of the interior, another equally i'm
portant adjustment has been effected in
another direction. it is no less a matter
than the securing of the Presidents con-
sent to aid Mr.. Crisp in his
coming race for the speakership.
The explains the rather sudden and
surprising affinity between Secretary
Hoke Smith and the ex-speaker. Mr..
Crisp needed a friend at court. The
Presidents influence was necessary for
his success, and he felt that no minor
matters should stand in his way to secure
1t. 1t may then be written that Mr. Crisp
will have the influence Of the admins
tratlon in his race for the House gavel
and that this same influence will be felt in
the organization of the committees of that
august body.
