FORTY FOR THE DAY.
Special Dispatch to the Morning Necs
WASHINGTON, March 27.-The Presi-
dents dapper secretary, Mr.. Pruden, con-
veyed nearly forty appointments to the
Senate to-day. People who have been play
ing the stock market for winners watched
for the little mans coming with impatence
and an occasional disrespecgful cat call.
Ills arrival occurred about the time Sena-
tor Cali of Florida arose from his seat and,
with violent bushes, asked the Senate to
hear him on a question Of personal priv
ilege. The most important nomination TO-
day was that Of William II. Seaman Of
Wisconsin to succeed Judge Jenkins as a
district judge In his state. Mr.. Seaman is
lawyer Of Sheboygau aud democratic
politician.
Samuel T. Fisher of Maryland, appointed
assistant commissioner of patents, was pro-
NOTED from the grade of special examiner
in that bureau.
Mr.. Morse of Indiana, accredited consul
at Paris, is the editor of the leading demo-
| cratic paper of that state, the Indianapolis
Sentinel. HIS appointment is the first
recognition of the Cleveland element in In
| diana.
MIR. Chancellor of Mary land, named for
Havre, is secretary of the state board of
! education.
George F. Parker, chosen for consul at
| Birmingham, is auditor of the national
| democratic committee and assistant posL-
master of Philadelphia under Postmaster
! Hsrrity during Mr.. Cleveland's last term.
| Several Georgia political booms had their
| digestive apparatus destroyed to-day James,
Gary and Frank Leverett drew lucky num-
| bers.
Teenie Rucker is going home to lecture
on what he knows about ofice-Ieeking.
! Fighting Joe James with both senators
| back of MIN was uphill work, and yet the
| President be STATED long before he felt I'M
| peeled TO turn down the brilliant young
man from Clarke
When the yellow bulletins were posted in
the press gallery the Georgia colonies broke
| over the barriers, and the nominations
were received with a hurrah Messrs.
| Leverett and James embraced. They were
| both very happy.
Two Georgia names for postnasters we're
| also sent TO the Senate tO-day-Mr. Dunbar
| for Augusta and Mr.. Brown for Newman.
| Mr.. Brown is the editor of the Newman
| Herald, and was once state senator. IN
| der the rule he will have to abandon his
| tripod, and attend strictly to his postofIice
Mr.. Gary defeated young Galloway of
| Burke for attorney for the Southern dis
trict because the President conceived a
| liking for the Augusta man. Mr.. Galloway
| had both senators behind him, but his
youth doubtless initiated against him. He
Is promising young man.
Col. Frank Flynt Of Griffin came yester-
day and has thrown himself bodily into the
! fight to make Col. Renfroe marshal for the
