The appointm emit IL bitter dill for the dam
age lawyer who Nils tn. plnce Of Secretary Of
the Interior for President Cleveland. The few
Hoke Smith men left in the city are crest
fallen, and so utter IL their rout that the
Erenino Journal Of to-day does not mention

IL wslah's turn to crow. and bis friends are
helping him with a will. A retrospect OF
Georgia politics will hest explain the relation
shin OF the two men.
In the Convention which nominated Mr..
from Georgia were Evan p Howell and Patrick
Walsh. They were strong advocates Of the
nomination OF Mr.. Cleveland and nv hard
work finally suceeeded in turninp nost
OF the Georgia deleeation in that direc-
ton. Tho majority OF the delegation were
originally for Mr.. Paynrd. and to the
very end Gen Lawton refused to vote for Mr..
Cleveland though he was afterward appointed
Minister to Austria by him. When four years
had passed over 1t was evident that Mr. Cleve-
land could not be reelected. Among those who
expressed this view was mr. rstr,ek Nv walsh
