a victory OF the State Executive Commit
tee. and Mr.. Bowden will probably re-
gard that body as the proper one to
make recommendations.
National al-Commltteeman Bowden. Colo
mel 7 d. Brady. and others accompa-
MED General Y. ID. Groner to the White
House to-day. when the last-named was
presented TO the President. General Gro

General James A. Walker. who has en-
dorsed ex-Congressman Henry Bowen
for the marshalship OF the Western Dis
trict. accompanied the latter, State
Senator Gillespie and Mr.. Park Agnew 10
the White House to-day. The object OF
tho call WAS to afford Mr.. Agnew an
opportunity to thank the President for
annolnting him Collector of Internal
Revenue for the Western District OF Nir-
oinia and incidentally TO introduce Mr..
Bowen whom General Walker wants to
be United States Marshal in the West
ern District. General Walker, who has
been quite busy to-day. also presented
Mr. 7 McUenry Gish, Of Roanoke, who
IS an applicant for the appointment as
Minister TO Haiti. to succeed Hon. Henry
NJ. Smythe. of Pocahontas. 1t Is un-
derstood that Mr.. Montague Browning
and several others from the southwest
are applicants for the same position.
National committeeman Bowden left
for Norfolk this evening. Messrs. Henry
Rowen and Senator Gillespie left for
home tonight
NO PLUMS BEFORE OCTOBER.
II seems TO be clearly settled now that
no appointments will be made in Nir-
pinio until the terms of the incumbents
expire. and as the first of these expira-
tions occurs in October. there will be am
pie time to make selections.
The slate given in the Dispatch few
days ago should have read that Mr..
Malcolm A. Cloves, of NorthumDerland
Is named as Assistant United States DIS
trict-Attorney for the Eastern Distrlc'
of Virginia: that Mr. J. G. De Jarnette,
of Caroline is TO be Assistant-Attorney In
tho Department of Justice, and that >
brown Allen. of Augusta. is to be the
United States Marshal for the Western
District of virginia. This slate, as pub
lished I'm the Dispatch, is generally ad-
rni1ted by Republicans here to be pretty
nearly correct.
