Presidents nomination to-day OF Dan
iel n. Morgan for United States Treas
urer, for which Mr.. Frank Jepson. OF
Wheeling, was candidate, was great
disappointment TO the West Virginia
delegation, although they recognize that
with the powerful backing Mr.. Morgan
had throughout New England and from
New York city, 1t would be very difficult
for the President To set him aside.
The fact that the West Virginia can
didate for the treasuryship failed Of ap-
pointment Increases the confidence all
along felt that the important place
asked for by the State. the Commission
ership of Internal Revenue, will be
given her.

House to-day and had brief talk to the
President about the West Virginia APP
pointments. The Senator said tonight
that while the Senate remained In ses-
sion the President could find no time
10 give his attention to matters other
than those which he was forced to con-
slider and dispose of before the extra
tiers Of this kind which the President
felt obliged TO deal with while the SEN
ate was in session than he could COM
fortaDly attend to. For this reason he
was postponlng everything else, in
GLIDING th. West Virginia appoint
men;s until the Senate got away. As
soon as adjournment was reached, the
Senator said, West Virginia's time
would come and he felt confident the
State would be fairly dealt with by the
President In the apportionment OF places
other than those within the State.
