SIGNIFICANT APPOINTMENT
The appointment OF John $. Bethel a.
Collector Of Customs az Richmond created
no surprise, as ii had been anticipated Iof
some time The appointing Of Jesse W.
Elliott. as Collector OF Customs at New
mort News was Of more interest. Judge
VaddiH tells me that il Is the most sig
nincant appointment that has yet been
made In Virginia. significant rom the
fact that Or. Dick Wise had been work
ing hard 10 have his relative, Archie
Peachey. appointed. Waddll seemed
really very jubilant over the appointment.
Elliott. ne said. had been the candidate
Of his organization ever since the death
Of Colonel II. Deb. Clay. This collector
snip is one Of great emolument. There
are thirty-six or thirty-seven deputies un-
der the collector. although according to
Mr. Bowden. only about three changes
would be made owing TO the civil service
law Mr.. Spencer a Republican. who Is
now I'm the office under Collector Stern.
as clerk. on account Of his long exper.
once and expert knowledge. will succeed
Mr. Eubank as chief deputy. IL IS said.
ANOTHER OPINION.
/ heard prominent members OF tho
Iamb7Wickham side say that Judge
Waddill was mistaken n thinking that
ElliOtts appointment was significant.
They say that the appointment was per-
sonal and not political. Elliott they say.
Is connected with the Chesapeake and
ohio az Newport News. He is an Ohio
man. who has perhaps never voted IN Vir-
gnia. He Is the father-in-law Of Mr.. G..
T.. Doyle. general superintendent Of the
Chesapeake and Ohio on account OF
Doyle Mr. NJ f.. ingalls, asked Major Nc
knlcy 10 appoint Elliott: and that set
