Still Hopeful.

The intended return of the President
to oyster Bay today has again aroused
interest in the selection of Commis-
sioner for the District TO succeed the
late John w. Ross. The President will
be at Oyster Bay for five days before
leaving for his Southern trip, which be-
gins on September 8. 1t is confidently
expected that during that time he will
take up the question of the Commits
sionership and settle it by making the
appointment.
Mr Ross has been dead for nearly q
month, and District officials declare that
il is quite necessary that the vacancy
on the board should be filled. For the
past ten days or two weeks the friends
of the various aspirapts have been quiet
" waiting. All consider that they have
done all that can be done fer their ia
vorites, and that nothing remains but
for the President to make his selection
from among the numerous candidates
whose qualifications have been strongly
PRESENTED TO him.

bury's resignation was not caused by
any political differences with his COL.
leagues in the cabinet, and says:
I'VE understand that the king was
very anxious to mark in some special
manner his high sense of the great
service Lord Salisbury mas rendered
to the state, and expressed a desire to
bestoW upon the retiring minister
some conspicuous promotion or dec
grafton; but Lord Salisbury begged to
be allowed to decline the proposed
honor.
There is reason to believe that the
king sought Lord Salisbury's advice
as to his successor, and that the retir-
ing prime minister suggested Mr.. Bal
four. message was thereupon sent
from the palace to Mr.. Balfour at the
house of commons. Feeling that it
was impossible to respond to the kings
wishes with success without having Sc
sured the concurrence and support of
Mr. Chamberlain, Mr.. Balfour imme-.
dlately drove to the colonial Secretary's
house and saw him in his sick room.
Joe Was Cordial.
1--WE are in a position to state that
he was met in the most cordial man
ner, and that Mr. Chamberlain recog-
nlzed that Mr.. Balfour was the natural
successor to the premiership, and as
sured him of his entire support.
The change in the premiership will
certainly involve other ministerial
changes, but as the king is leaving
town, it is possible that none will be
announced for some weeks. AS no of
nee is vacant except that of keeper of
the privy SEAL the present cabinet can
carry on work as long as necessary,
and as Mr.. Balfour has accepted no
new Office, he will not have to present
himself to his constituents for re-elec-
ton. It may be taken for granted that
the Duke of Devonshire will lead the
house of lords"
The Standard says it thinks Lord
Salisbury will be deemed no unworthy
successor to a line of illustrious pre-
mlers, and that his loss will be felt
abroad as much as at home Then re-
ferring to the absence of intrigue or
friction in the change, the Standard
says:
Mr.. Chamberlain has generously
and periodically effaced his own as
p1ratlons, when he might almost have
been excused for declining to rest sat
isfied with any place lower than the
highest, and has shown, not for the
first time, that he can prefer national
interest to the qualification of personal
aims"
All the morning papers are filled
With sketches of the careers of the
statesmen concerned, and with specu-
lations as to the future, the Liberal
organs expressing doubts as to wheth-
er Mr.. Chamberlain is likely to remain
content to act under Mr.. Balfour

come when least expected.
While the political sky may appear
more suspicious for the Republican
candidates, there is no certainty, and
for various reasons the Democrats
have reason to indicate considerable
encouragement There are records of
broken Republican ranks in the cleo
ton of Milo White, Judge Thomas
Wilson and Capt. w. H. Harries. In
the last campaign, a presidential one,
too, the Democrats made such agrees
sive an effort, under the able leader
ship of L. l.. Brown, that Mr.. Taw-
neyS majority was reduced to less
than 5000, from a majority of over
10000 two years before.
The Democratic party in the First
district is not lacking good material
from whom to select a worthy and
able candidate for a representative in
congress. Assuming that Mr.. Brown
would again yield to the wishes of
the opposition to the Tawney ma
