Mr. Cleveland continues TO nominate
associate justices. just as they do candi-
dates in the Eighth district Of Virginia,
ION the highest known lines" but the
great danger lies in the perils Of 'sena-
torial courtesy" just as It came very
near defeating the worthy Democrat and
efficient officer, X. c. Murray, in the
| State Senate. Hornblower went down
under the pressure Of senatorial cour-
tesy," and the second nomination of Mr.
Cleveland. made to-day. OF Wheeler IT,.
Peckham, of New York, will have the
same gauntlet 10 run.
The Peckham nominated hy Mr.. Cleye-
| land Is not the Peckham nominated Al the
| Buffalo meeting Of the Bar Association
last week by Senator Hill. but is the New
| York lawyer who took the stump against
| Judge Maynard, and who, IN recent
newspaper interview, said. GAS long as
| the United States Senate has among its
members such tricky politicians as ID. b..
| Hill good appointments like Mr. Horn
| blowers are liable to be defeated Thus
/ the matter stands, and Mr. Grover Cleve-
land is very liable indeed to have his
second nomination defeated. Unless, how
ever, Senator Hill appreciates the fact
/ that known opposition TO these good men
ultimately must result in his own dis
credit, and lets the appointment go, not
| that he likes the President or the nomi-
| nee but that he cannot personally afford
10 oppose 10 the extent OF defeat any
more Of the presidential nominees.
MIR. Martins cred ntiaIs Pr sented.
Senator Daniel this morning presented
The credentials OF Senator-elect Thomas
5. Martin, who will take his seat on
March T. 1895.
The nomination tomorrow Of sue
cessor TO Colonel OFerrall in Congress
is the mair topic Of conversation here
to-day among the NiIginians both in and
| out OF Congress. The ridiculous charges
that Hon. Basil j. Gordon Is not q resi-
dent of Virginia Is too puerile for consid-
| Grafton, and certainly he man who comes
10 Congress would hardly care 20 boast
Of the fact that he could only beat a de-
servedly popular man Ike Mr.. Gordon
upon the childish and unworthy accusa-
ton that ne was not a Virginian.
A delegation from Kentucky, headed by
Governor Proctor Knott. was before the
| Committee or Rivers ana HarbOrs to-day
10 urge the Importance Of as liberal ap-
prOpriatiOn as possible for the rivers OF
Kentucky. Saturday a large delegation
from New Orleans were before the COM
mittee on a similar mission. The people
from every section Of the country realize
the fact thai the appropriations available
this year VIII be cut down to the smallest
possible limit, and great many have
adopted the n eth0d OF sending delegations
10 call on the committee as the one most
likely TO secure its favorable considera-
tion. 1t is thought that the city OF Rich
mcnd will also send delegation for the
same purpose.
Congressman Marshall was at the Post
Office Department again this morning. and
received the absolute promise that changes
would be made this week in the post
office at Glade Springs and two other
places in Washington county. at two
places in Scott and two others In Snyth
county.
