The talk at the Post. ofrice Department ia

The talk at the post-Ofiice Department ia
that tho President will likely decide
90 order removals, but that bas not
yet been settled. Should be 60 so
there will be weeping and waiting about
the time the June roses bloom Many of
the congressman. in these presidential
cases, have adopted the plan of not re-
commenting anybody for postmaster who
held the Office under Mr.. Cleveland's
former administration unless he should
come under the exceptions laid down by
the President. One OF those exceptions is
In eases where the old Democratic Post
master served only a short time. Another
is where an old Postmaster has no oppo-
sition IN his community and ls the recog-
nlzed choice of his community.
Representative Tucker will leave to-
morrow for Sew Orleans. where be will re-
main two or three weeks. Ho has been
here steadily since the Inauguration, with
exception Of brief visit to his home. and
he has to work SO hard he needs a rest.
cONsULSHIP.
FxSpeaker Marshall Hanger. of Stnun-
ton, Is the only DomOcret from the Tonth
District who Is boing urged for consular
appointment. No others. in fact, from that
district have applied. He would like 20 20
20 Bermuda, and 1t is SAID his chances OF
success are fair. Some OF the other dis
tricts IN the state have as many as twenty
consular applications. There il wild fas-
cination among Nirginians to GO to foreign
countries. but with such a large number
entered III the grand tussle now going on
only a few viii succeed.
MIR. Hannis Taylor. of Alabama, was to-
day appointed Minister 10 SPAN. italy IS
also promised. and the Austrian appoint
meut was made Tuesday. Mr.. Basil Is.
Gordon IS. therefore, cut ont Of any Euro
poan appointment that he would have
WILL THE TX RULE APPLY?
Influence has been brought 70 bear on
the President 20 pay no attention TO the
"ex' rule IN tho case of Captain Ham
Shepperd. who has the endorsement Of
the solid Virginia delegation for his old
place as Collector OF Internal Revenue,
and II IA confidently claimed 10y Captain
Sneppord's friends he Will be appointed.
Still there are somo NiTginians who insist
that the Secretary OF the State Democratic
Committee Is bound 20 go down under tho
rule and In spite Of ms endorsements.
Captain John n. Ople. of Staunton. says
no has no idea of pulling out of the race
for the attorneyship OF the western DIS
trict, even IN the face of the endorsement
given hr. Montague by the delegation.
he proposes 10 take his chances before the
President and AtJorney-General.
Une prevailing impression X that the
President Will accept the slate the Nlr-
glnIa delegation have made up, and the
reason therefor is that Dir. Cleveland eX-
pressed desire that the delegation should
get together and make thcn endorsements.
Ne told them he wanted very much to ap-
uoipt Mr. Ryan. of Richmond, Collector
II Internal Revenue. and the delegation
met hun bali way III that particular. If
they had not been satisfied their endorse
ne0ts would be acceptable they would
have declined 20 act as a delegation.
