COULDN'T DOWN DEvEAUx.
M'KINLEY SENDS HIS NOMINATIONS
TO THE SENATE.

Mark Hanna Has the COIIectorship
turn for His Services in Swinging
the Georgia Delegation Into the
Mckinley Column at the st. Louis
COnventiOn-GaSe Was Against 1t
But POwerIess.
Washington, Feb S.-President MeKin-
ley has appointed a oolored politician.
John H. Deveaux; collector of customs at
the port of Savannah.
DeveauX's nomination has been threat
ened for several weeks past, but the, pro-
tests against him have been strong and
vigorous.
To-day, however, the President sent
Deveaux's nomina ton to the Senate in the
face Of an earnest protest from Represen-
tative Lester, who called at the White
House this morning and Informed the
President of the intensity of the feeling
against Deveaux.
The President replied that he could not
see his way clear to deprive Deveaux of
the appointment, to which he was COM
mended by the solid Endorsement of the
regular Republican organization of the
state.
The President also called attention 10
the fact that he had selected white men
for the postof1ces at Savannah and Au-
gusta in Difference to the wishes of the
white citizens of the state, and under the
circumstances there should be no serious
objection to DeveauX simply on account
of his color.
AS soon as the fact of Deveaux's ap-
pointment was telegraphed to Savannah,
Georgia were
submerged with kilograms protesting
against his confirmation, and urging the
entire Georgia delegation TO join In re-
quest for the President to recall his nomi-
nation.
The commercial bodies of Savannah, in
cluding the Chamber of Commerce, the
Board of Trade and the Cotton Exchange,
adopted resolutions several weeks ago, APP
pealing to the President not to inflict upon
the city a colored collector of customs.
These protests were submitted to the
President by the Georgia senators, and
copies of them were filed with the Sec
retary of the Treasury. 1t is understood
that Secretary Gage mildly opposed the
appointment of DeVeauX, but the strong
hand and influence of Senator Mark Han
ma swept aside all opposition and secured
| the prize for DeVeaux, who was
a delegate to the st. Louis convention and
an important factor in swinging the Geor-
gia delegation into the Hanna-McKinley
column and keeping it there. Two pronli-
nent white men, Tom Johnson former
collector of the port under the Harrison
administration, and Joseph Doyle, who
cameev very near defeating Col. Lester for
| Congress at the last election, were urged
| upon the attention of the President IN
| place of Deveaux, but they could not COM
mand the all-important support of Senator
| Hanna Both johnson and Doyle are con-
| s:dered good Republicans but they were
not in the St. Louis combination and were
| unable to command the Hanna influence.
| An effort win be made to prevent the
confirmation Of Deveaux, but the outlook
in that direction is not favorable, for it
is admitted that the principal objection to
! the new collector is his color
