There was a spirited discussion at the

tion offered by Mr. {. B. Tanner, providing
for the appointment of a committee Of

TO be the chairman, to represent the as

ton by striking out the words appoint by
the president - and insert elected by the
association" Mr. O'Donohue argued that
it was delegatlng too much power TO one

Mr.. Wilson, OF North Ga rolina, Tries
TO Retain His Office

Mr.. Wilson. OF North Ca rolina, Tries
TO Retain His Office.
James W. Wilson, who was removed
from the office of chairman of the Rail-
road Commission of North Ca rolina by Gov.
Russell, which action was later sustained
by the supreme court of that State, has
appealed to the Supreme Court of the
United States for relief, alleging that his
removal was without good ard sufficient
cause. Coy. Russell made the removal on
the grounds:
First-That Wilson was part owner of
hotel at Round Knob, whcih was des-
ignated as an eating house by the Southern
Railway Compa ny. pursuant to an arrange
ment with the owners, and that other
wise it would have been valueless, and
Second-That his son, in the employ of
the Southern Railway Company. had been
promoted over Others entitled to such recog
milton at the request ami for the accommo-
dation OF said Wilson.
Wilson denied the charges made, and
alleges that Gov. Russell refused to hear
his side of the case, and that when quo
warranto proceedings were instituted in
the superior court of Wike coun.y to vacate
the office for the benefit OF L. G. Caldwell
appointed TO succeed him. that court re-
fused to submit the questions OF facts 10
a jury, and found that Caldwell was en-
titled to the office.
This was affirmed by the Supreme Court
December 81. 1897, and from that decision
Wilson appeals. The case Is one which
created much excitement in North Carolina
last fall.

BoLYS NOT THE MAN, AFTER ALL
The Presidents Wishes in Reference
tn Postoffice Prevail.


The Virginia Republican leaders who
were responsible for throwing the
sixteen delegates of the State in Presi-
dent McKinley's way at a time when
he seemed hard pressed by Hon.
Thomas B. Reed fer the nomination,
and needed every vote that he coud get,
received their second painful disap-
pointment yesterday from the Presi-
dent.
1t came when the President. accord
ing Ia the old Dominion leaders,
stated that he wanted y. G. Nichols
appointed postmaster at Leesburg. Va.
AS announced yesterday in The Times
the Virginia Republican leaders had
decided upon Somerfield Bolyn for the
place. This choice did not receive the
Presidential sanction when he heard of
il. In fact, he called in the Virginia
leaders in the city and told them plain
lY that Bolyn could not have the place.
He said that he had a close friend in
Ohio, whose name was Nichols. and
the latter had written him requesting
that his brother be given the Leesburg
plum. MIR. Mckinley told the Virginia
gentlemen that he was under political
obliga tions to the OHIO Nichols. and
could not therefore refuse his request.
In consequence of the President TAX
ing Il mana IN the Le4Sburg ma tier,
Bolyn must take a back seat. Nichols,
who win be appointed this week. re
moved to Loudoun County. Va. about
three years ago from Ohio. His op-
ponents thought he stood no show. oX-
ing to his short residence in the State.
He does not live in Leesburg, but three
and a half miles in the country.
This did not operate much against
him, however. as the other aspirants,
with one exception, lived outside of the
corporate limits, one so far as ten miles
away
This is not the first time that the
President has taken a hand in the
smaller post-offices of Virginia. When
it came to filing the Suffolk post-office

Kinley turned down Mr.. Bowdens;
man and, it is said, caused the ap-
pointnent of a man named Harper
