brought a number Of North Carolina APP

blocked. Just as it was when they left
here some weeks ago. II. A.. Gudger,
new convert to the Republican party, but
Senator Pritchard's personal friend, must
be provided for before any other consular
appointment will be considered. Thereat
the lifelong Republicans are much irri-
tated, and with the same breath denounce
Gudger. and express the hope that he
may soon find relief" John Il. Cramer,
wealthy mining operator Of Thomas
Vile, n. c.. and Acknowledgement Cowles
are here. anxiously waiting to hear the
announcement Of Gudger's appointment.
They both want important consulates, but
realize that Gudger comes first. What he
VIII get Is unknown. What he or any
other southern Republican wants does not
concern the administration. 1t is what
old bone can be thrown that way-some-
thing that nobody In particular wants.
