GEORGIA REPUBLICANS GLUM.
PLUMs FALLING ALTOGETHER TOO
SLOWLY TO SUIT THEM.

None of the Faithful on the List of
Appointments Sent in Yesterday.
JudsOn Lyons, Bill Pledger and
Perry DeLeOn Hoped Their Names
Would He on the List-The suspi-
cion Growing That the Bulk OF the
Georgia Pie Was Concentrated in
the Buck Appointment.
Washington, June 2S.-Another day has
passed without bringing consolation to the
hungry army of Georgia republicans now
camped here. 1t was expected that the
President would send in the nomination of
Judson Lyons for postmaster at Augusta,
and ii was said that he might send in the
name of Perry DeLeon and Bill Pledger
for appointments in the consular service.
All of the expectants and many of their
followers were at the capitol when the
messenger from the white house delivered
the list OF nominations to the Senate. The
list was small, and no Georgia names
were on 1t.
BY chance, there was peculiar meeting
OF Georgia politicians in the Senate corrl-
dor just after the list of nominations ar
rived. Democrats, republicans and pop
ulists were represented In the gathering.
which was purely accidental.
Senator Bacon had been called out Of
the chamber to greet Judge r. r. Ross of
Atlanta, who is visiting Representative
Bartlett.
Senator Clay at the same moment had
been called out by Mr.. Fulwood, whose
nomination for postmaster at Cedartown
Is now pending before the Senate.
The House had just adjourned, and
Representatives Lester Maddox and
Greggs passed through the corridor, and
seeing the Georgia senator's, stopped to
exchange friendly greetings.
Suddenly Judson Lyons, Bill Pledger,
Pink Morton OF Athens and Rrof. Morse
Of Savannah and several other colored
members of the Georgia colony appeared
upon the scene. They had just learned
that no Georgia appointments were on the
Presidents daily list. They stopped and
chatted with the Georgia congressman for
few minutes, during which their hopes,
expectations and disappointments were
briefly discussed. The conversation was
of course, perfunctory, as the democratic
congressman had but little sympathy for
their colored political opponents.
1t appears that the discomfort among
the colored brethren from Georgia ls
growing more and more violent and they
are here now to press their claims upon
the administration before congress ad-
journs.
Those who are looking for appoint
ments Ia the consular service note with
anguish that the supply of vacancies
Is rapidly diminishing and they begin
20 fear the prediction made in these
dispatches that Boss Buck secured in a
compact form about all the foreign pa
tronage Intended for Georgia republicans
Perry DeLeon still haunts the corridors
of the capitol, waiting for his promised
appointment in the consular service. He
does not pun with the regulars, but
is depending upon the influence of Mai
Hanson.
The fact developed to-day that Full
wood will not be confirmed as postmaster
at Cedartown, and the indications are
that the President will withdraw his nom
inat1oh and name some other person
who will be more acceptable to the patrons
of that Office.
Senator Clay called at the white house
to-day to request the President to ap-
point the son OF DIR. Heidi of Atlanta
to a second lieutenancy In the regular
army. Young Heidi Is now In the ser
vice, although he has not passed through
West Point. Under the law
the President has power to
appoint a limited number OF men from
the service to the rank OF commissioned
officers, and Senator Clay assured the
President that young Heidi possesses all
of the necessary qualifications for such an
appointment. The President promised to
consider the application and decide at an
early day.
Representative Adamson was one Of the
callers at the executive mansion to-day
He called In the interest of Mr.. Jenkins
of Atlanta, who is an applicant for a place
in the department OF Justice. Mr.. Jenkins
has been mentioned In connection with
the office OF district attorney for the east
ern district OF Georgia, and that fact was
also mentioned by Judge Adamson during
his interview with the President.
Judge Adamson has been invited TO go
to New York to make a speech at tho
Fourth Of July celebration In Tammany
hall. The judge islon the programme for
one Of the short talks on politics.
Representative Tate went TO the depart
ment OF Justice to present a petition for
the pardon Of Wilson Of Buford, Ga, who
was convicted Of conspiracy before the
United States court. Mr.. Tate says he
hopes to have favorable action upon the
