the convention he was also very
active. Since the convention he
has, it is said by his friends
here, given no public utterances
as TO his position with regard
to the Chicago ticket, and as
far as known has not in the
least actively allied himself
with the movement for the In
dianapolis convention. Govern.
nor Francis throughout his
career has been a strong sup
porter and a warm friend of Mr.,
Cleveland and the administra-
ton.
Secretary Smith evidenced
the greatest satisfaction when
he heard the name Of his sue
cessor. He said in response to
questions:
81 have the pleasure Of an
intimate personal acquaintance
with Governor Francis and
esteem him highly. He is a
man of marked ability. OF
course l feel a deep interest in
the department, and l don't
know any one to whom I would
more willingly turn it over.'
Secretary Smith Immediately
telegraphed his congratulations
to Governor Francis. He ex-
poets 10 relinquish his Office to
his successor OIL the 1st Of
September.

THE NEWS IN WASHINGTON.
Washington, aug. 24.-The
announcement that the pres
ident had appointed eX-Gov-
ernor Francis of Missouri to
succeed Mr.. Smith as secretary
of the interior rather surprised
Washington, more because of
the sudderness with which it
followed on the heels of
the announcement OF Mr.
Sroith's resignation than be
cause of the selection. The
reasons for Secretary Smiths
voluntary Withdrawal from
the cabinet were understood
as soon as the announce
ment was made on Saturday,
and it was naturally expected
that he had retired because he
felt obliged to support the nom
inees Of the party at Chicago,
and that his successor would
be in full harmony with Mr..
Cleveland on the money ques
ton. There was a feeling also
that the president would prob
ably select Mr.. Smiths success

sentpd in his official family.

Atlanta, Ga, Aug. 24-The
Journal this afternoon prints a
story which, it says, GENES
from a source of undoubted au-
thority, to the effect that the
purpose of Senator Tillman's
recent mysterious visit to Tom
Watson at the latter's home in
Thomas, was 10 see if Mr.. Wat
son could be induced to retire
from The vice presidential race
on the promise of a place in
the Bryan cabinet. The Jour-
nails informant, who is a demo-
crat of high rank but d warm
friend and a possible supporter
of Watson, says there is no
doubt that a tentative offer of
such a position was made, but
on whose authority it is not
known, and which was very
promptly declined. Mr.. Watson
declared inasmuch as he rad
accepted the vice presidential
nomination in order to preserve
his party organization, he could
not Surrender it in exchange for
any Office whatever. 1t is said
that similar offer is to- be
made to Mr.. S4wall. In this
conjunction it is noted as sig
nificant that Mr.. Watson has
been declaring with confidence
of late that he would he on the
