Representative Howard of Georgia saw
the President today to ask the appoint
ment of F. c. Foster of Madison, Ga, as
a member of the codifying commission in
place of the late ex-Representative Culber-
son. This place has attracted many candi-
dates. all of them democrats. by reason Of
the fact that Judge Culberson was a demo-
crat. Georgia has three or four candidates.
The President has given no indication Of
his intentions.
Another Place for n Democrat.
Democrats are interested in still another
good position. This is appraiser of mer-
chandse at New York now filled by ex-
Representative Bynum. The democrats be-
lieve they have succeeded in preventing
confirmation of Mr. Bynum and therefore
conclude that President Mckinley will not
again send the name to the Senate. An
ticipating this outcome. several democrats
have already suggested the names of cam
didates to the President. Mr. Bynum will
probably take part in the campaign of the
gold democrats this year. If his name fails
of confirmation.
The name of Representative De NrieS Of
California is mentioned to succeed Mr.. By
mum. Any silver democrat will satisfy the
opposition in the Senate In case Mr.. By
mum fails of confirmation the President
may not nominate his successor unal next
December, when Congress meets again.

tiful souvenir copy of the peace jubilee in
this city a year ago. The copy has satin
