The herald., 1893-06-22

at tno conference taIled TO discover who
assumed the responsibility OF present.
ing the name of John P. Irish for naval
officer. 1t seems to have been under
stood that this position was to be his,
and the fraternal atmosphere that was
said to pervade the entire conference
appeared to be freighted only with the
name of Irish when the naval Office was
mentioned. No other name was con-
eidered, no other name was proposed,
and Mr.. Irish's name now goes to the
President as the choice of the united
California delegation.
James f. Tucker and s. B. Braunhart
were both candidates for the appraiser
ship. The delegation accepted it as a
probability that the two appraisers pro-
vided for by law might as well be se-
lected, and thus it came about that both
the above named gentlemen were recon-
mended, Mr.. Tucker to have the place
if there is only one and Mr.. Braunhart
to have the second appraisership if there
ie second.
In the matter of the assistant ap-
praiser, however, only one was recon-
mended, T. J. Tumblety, although Sid
ney Lacey had also been mentioned for
that position.
THE PENSION AGENCY.
The fight for the delegation's indorse-
ment for the pension agency was be-
tween Gen. P. +. Walsh and Jesse Wall.
Other names had been mentioned, but
these are the only two that were seri-
ously considered. The tide was strongly
in favor of Walsh from start to finish.
1t was claimed for him that he was an
old Democratic war horse; that ne had
ofttimes etuDlped the state without COM
pensation that be was Grand Army
man, an ex-oficer in the army, and that
he was in every way fitted for the place.
WalPe hackers we're equally eloquent,
but Walsh got there.
One of the most interesting PROPOSE
tions made to the conference was that ].
L. Rsthbone, acknowledgement at Paris,
be Endorsed as minister to Italy. The
entire delegation, individually or col.
lectively, had Endorsed for that position,
ex-Attorney-Ge Johnson. His NOM
ination, however, has been hanging fire
80 long in Washington that the delega-
tion decided to have the president un-
derstand that if he was not going to APP
point johnson they would be pleased If
the place could be given to Major Rath-
bone. This was done chiefly in the in
terest of getting something for Califor-
mia in the diplomatic line If possible. In
the same interest the delegation reiteS-
ated their early indoreement of Robert
Ferral for the corsulsrship at Kama
gawa, Japan, and they added recon-
mendation OF d. B. Spagnoli as consul
at Genoa, Italy.
CANDIDATES FOR OTHER PLACES.
The subject of filing the places of
United States district attorney, marshal
and surveyor-general did not come up
for consideration.
Among the candidates listed for the
district attorneyship are W. J. MCGEE,
II. S. Foote. Judge Murphy of Del Norte
and Henry Hogan of ofNapa.
Candidates for the United States
marshalship are Sheriff Standley of
Mendocino. Sheriff Thome OF Calaveras,
ex-Sheriff Stanton of Colusa, ex-SheriF
B. f. Hawea of Calaveras and General
j. Sheppard OF San joaquin.
The candidates for the United States
surveyor -generalehip are w. o. Greene
of Colusa, j. f. Thompson of Humboldt
and ex Deputy Surveyor J. G. Ruddock.
Among the other Offices not taken up
at the conference were those of inspector
VA luiiDs lhoPCOtOt "a OOllOlc anu AZ
spector of drugs. The delegation had
begun to get sleepy by the time these
One of the conferees said last evening
that the delegation had no intention of
discussing appointments at the mint.
They considered that MIR. Daggett
had secured his appointment with
out the aid of the delegates as
q delegation, and that he had other
claims on him. They recognized the
fact that the bondsmen might have
something to say, that men who had
gotten up petitions for him in the inte-
rior would put in claims, and that, all in
all, he would have his hands full in
meeting demands that were sure to be
made on him.
Moreover, Mr.. Daggett had assured
the delegatian that when he had eatis-
fed first claims, be- would divide the
places that we're left among the different
parts of the state, and if be then called
upon the Democratic .congressmen for
suggestions it would be time enough for
them to say something.
NOT ENOUGH TO 60 AROUND.
The same conferee stated that the en-
tire delegation felt their inadequacy to
satisfy the great army OF applicants with
the few places at their disposal, but that
they had done their best.
Whether the president or other ap-
pointing powers would act upon their
recommendations or not they could not
pretend to gay. but they believe that
the unanimous recommendation of the
California delegation will now have con-
siderable weight with President Cleve-
land. at
Collector Wise gave prompt evidence
of how far the recommendations of the
conference were to go in his office. Y es-
terday afternoon he announced the ap-
pointment of ]. J. Tobin and N. s. Far
ley as his deputies, George Cope as au-
ditor, j. j. Chappell as cashier and r. j..
Troy as assistant cashier. So far 80
good, but no mention was made OF the
appointment Of j. Il. Stevens as chief
clerk. +. aaN

as follows: Deputy collector, $3625 ;
auditor, $500; cashier, $4,000; assistant
cashier, $500.
