w. II. Cullingworth for tho postmaster
ship Of Richmond, with an accompanying
petition. on which were the signatures OF
300 Of the leading people OF the city.
The President spoke very kindly of Mr
Cullingworth, and the impression seems TO
be that he will again be appointed in spite
of the fact that he comes under the =" OK y
rule, but II Is thought he will prove one or
tine exceptions. Nr. Wise also filed the
application az be POst-Ofhce Department
and stated 20 both the President and the
postnaster-General that another big pc
tition in Mr.. Culingworths favor would
follow this one.
Representative Wise called at the state
Department to-day TO Introduce ar.
Frank ID. Lynch. OF Richmond, who has
APPLIED for the Dresden consulate, or tor
the Brussels consulate in the event he
cannot secure the former. MIR. Lynch has
q number Of strong endorsements.

Senator Hunton made an earnest appeal
in behalf ofthe following sspirants to-day
