recognition OF the West Virginia
Democracy which the President ac-
corded to-day in the appointment Of
Mr.. James b. Taney, OF the Wheel ing
REGISTER, to the important post of

active in pushing his case, and the
West Virginia Democrats generally in
the city. As soon as the appOintment
vas announced, just after noon, Mum
Der Of cOngratulatOry kilograms were
dispatched from here 70 the new cOnSui.
- Congressman PendletOn was we'll
pleased at the appointment, as he iellt
that his OItspoken and persistent advo-
eacy Of Mr.. Taney's claims before the
President had had not little to do
with the Presidents prompt and fayOI-
able action. There was a great numbeF
OF candidates for the place, ali OF them
very strongly backed. Among them wa IS
Mr.. ThOs. j. Keenan,, o. PittSburg, who
had the backing Of Mr.. Harrity, ChGif-
man Of the National Committee, and AL

of the most Important in the cOnr
sular service, as the trade Of that city
with the United States is enormous.

Sc. 600 a year, he receives fees which
swell the annual income considerably
Ii will be remembered that Mr.. TaneY
had applied for the Liverpool Consult

tion who presented his claims that thai
place was set aside for Chairman JAMES
T.. Neal OF Ohio, but indicated desire

so be chose Belfast.
