Collector Brady's oficc May Not ne
Moved, After All.

Iaent is duo 10 his absence. AS DefOrI
stated in the Dispatch. the first i'm
portant business of the committee is Il
agree upon the appointment Of Marsha
and Attorney for the Western District
Republican speculation plainly indicates
the appointment OF Colonel Brown Allen
as Marshal and ]. Hampton Hoge as Dis
trict Attorney. The machine has en-
dprsed Alien, and this action will not be
reconsdered. it is said. unless in de-
ference 10 some ante-eection promises.
The committee has not considered the
Hoge appointment. but Hoge has the
individual endorsement of Collectors
Asnew and Brady. He retired from the
congressional race last year in favor Of
the Gold Democrat. with the distinct
understanding that he should be made
District Attorney IN the event of Nc
kinlcy's election. This agreement was
made. it is understood, with Mr.. Hanna's
sanction, II not at his suggestion.
The lines will be drawn in the coming
Congress against the Observation-Disclosures
Republicans. and in the distribution of
Virginia patronage 1t is altogether proba-
BILE that Congressman Walker and Yost
VIII not be considered
GoFFS POSITION.
The talk about Judge COTS appoint
ment as Attorney-General is without his
authority. 1t is positively known that he
Will not accept. and the statement is also
authorized that he will not be a candidate
for the Senate from West Virginia. His
aspiration. II is understood, is the Su-
preme Court bench, and it seems to be |
only a question of time when this will |
DO. realized. T
General Groner and Colonel John S.
Mosby both waited patiently at the |
White House to-day for an audience
with the President. but were disappoint-
cd. They both want important foreign
appointments. General Groner has the
endorsement of the patronage commit
tee and viii stay here until he gets some
intimation Of the Presidents preference
as between himself and Colonel Mosby.
IL seems TO be settled that ex-Post-
master Nichols will be appointed post
master at Norfolk early in March.
