The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1896-02-06

well as the various Democratic COM
tnittees through Chairman Talbot,
TO name their men for these posi-
lions several weeks ago. The threat
20 hold up nominations unless this
was conceded was therefore very
fuch out Of place. No one likes
to be bulhed, and the threat of
Holding up nominations has put
the Republicans in a bad humor.
The State house was Invaded at
an early hour this morning by a
swarm of office seekers. The gov
lernor was kept very busy, but it Is
wonderful how he MAINTAINS his
aqui pOise under the pressure. He
lis inst the the same at the close of
hard day, as he was in the morn
ing, and the persistent clamor, and
endless talk of those who think only
their mans appointment will save
the country, seems neither to dis
courage nor depress him. He is
showing great staying qualities.
I Yesterday while in conference
over appointments delegation of
FIVE colored men was announced.
They entered, and the leader eX-
tended an invitation to the governor
attend reception at church
social in this city the same evening.
They all sooke well, and were very
good representatives of their race.
When each one had greeted the gov
ernor the leader said: CHOW gov
ernor, we are waiting to hear you
turn the wheel of conversation
around the aXletree of Our under
standing" This original and figu-
rative expression caused a general
laugh, and think Judge Sloan and
Senator Rayenscroft entered it down
in their note books for future use.
Of course the governor accepted the
invitation, and called on his colored
friends at s o'clock last uight.
1t will not do to place too much
reliance in the accounts of the poll
teal situation as il is described in
Baltimore papers every day. The
relations between the governor and
Senator Talcott, chairman of the
Democratic State Central Com
mittee are not strained, and there
is no likelihood of appointments
being held up. The appointments
for Garrett would have gone in to-
day, but for the reason that the gov
ernor wants to send in all the su-
pervisors of election first, and the
Democrats of Garrett and some
ettAAeg counties have not agreed upon
the supervisor. If Mr.. l.. L. Ham
ilton is not appointed it Will be be-
cause the Democratic committee for
Allegany protests against HIM, which
is not considered likely.
Hon. j. '. l.. Findlay, of Balti-
more city, Col. L. a. Wilmer, of
Charles, Geo. r. Gather, of Balti-
more, and Col. Carter, of Howard,
were among the visitors here to-
day.
The mine inspcctorship is still I'M
decided, and no appointment is
likely to be made for week at least.
/ would like to give you the names
of the new magistrates and regis
trars for Cumberland, but | am not
permitted to Edo so at this time.
They are all good appointments and
will be so pronounced.
The Allegany delegation is work.
ing hard to obtain places in the
House or Senate for q number OF
good Republicans who have claims
upon the party. 1t is to be hoped
their friends IN Allegany will not
imagine they are idle. The Garrett
delegation is also active in that d.
rection.
Senator Wellington was here last
night, but left for Baltimore this
morning. He is sick man, and
should so away from all excitement
for at least two weeks.
The governor left at $50 p. IN.
for Clarksburg, W. Va. He ex-
poets to return Thursday. McC.
