He dined at 7 o'clock, and shortly afterward retired to nis apartments. He saw many callers during the day, including the newspaper men, but transacted no official business, confining his conversation to topics of a social nature. A Busy Saturday. Saturday, after his return from the Con- gressional Library building and luncheon at the Arlington, Mr. Hanna, in company with Gen. Horace Porter, Mr. Henry C. Payne, Senator Proctor and Chairman Babcock, walked over to the White House, where a pleasant half hour with President Cleve- lend was spent. Upon returning to the Arlington the committee representing the republican clubs of the District, compris- ing Mr..A. M. Clapp, Mr. Lewis Clephane, Mr. Simon Wolf, ex-Gov. Alphonso Hart and Mr. L. M. Saunders, was received and entered a protest against the appo:ntment of Mr. Woodward as chairman of the inau- gural committee. Mr. Woodward was cicseted with Mr. Hanna end was being urged to accept the place when the com- mittee called, and at once departed. Mr. Hanna received the visitors with the same cordia'ity he extends to all callers, and Ustened to them courteously. The gentle- men said they had no objection to Mr. Woodward save on political grounds. Mr. Hanna said he would consider all pheses of the question. GENERAL APPROVAL. What Citizens Say of Mr. Bell's Ap- pointment. Mr. S. W. Weodward, who declined the appointment as chairmen of the inaugura- tion commitiee, was seen by a Star reporter this morning. He declined to discuss the matter, saying that he had written a letter to Mr. Hanna and Col. M. M. Parker, in which he had given the reasons for his ac- tion. In view of that fact he did not care to say anything more upon the subject. “What do you think of the appointment which has been made?” “Who is the man?” “Mr. Charles J. Bell.” “Well, that’s a very good appointment; first rate. It is an appointment that cou!d not be improved upon. All I can say is that Mr. Bell has my heartiest congratulation and if there is anything I can do to as: him in any way I shall be only too glad io do it. Mr. Bell's appointment will give general satisfaction, I am sure.” “So Mr. Bell is the man,” said Mr. A. M. Lothrop, Mr. Woodward's partner, who was standing near. “Mr. Bell is a rattlins good man and I am glad he has been chose Mr. A. T. Britton, who as chairman 0f the Harrison maugural committee, man- aged that affair with so much success, said this morning to a Star reporter in regard to the appointment of Mr. Bell: “I co: sider the selection of Mr. Bell as a most satisfactory one, and one that will be so to all classes of our citizens. I look upon Mr. Bell as one of the rising young men of the city. His executive ability has been tested, and he 1s well fitted to perform the arduous duties of the position. Mr. Woo ward’s action in withdrawing I look upo:: | as only another indication of his own s respect, and affords additional ground t the high respect in which he is held by the people of this community. Mr. John W. Thompson, president of the National Metropolitan Bank, who was chairman of the committee which managed the Garfield inaugural ceremonies so suc- cessfully, is very enthusiastic over the se- lection of Mr. Charles J. Beil as chairman of tl committee of arrangements for the inauguration of President-elect McKinley. 1 don’t want to reflect in any way upon Mr. Weodward, who is one of our foremosi business men,” said Mr. Thompson to a Star reporter today, “but I have no hesita- tion in saying that a better man than Mr. Bell could not have been selected for the important work. Energetic and capab! he has. in addition, more than ordinary € ecutive ability. He understands the hand- ling of committees, and has all the quali- ties required for the proper manazement of an affair of the magnitude cf the inaugura- tion. I think in his hands the coming in- auguration will be a great success, and ihat it will doubtless be conducted without expense to the city. He is a man who in- spires confidence and energy in others, and he will find many of our business men will- ing to aid him in making the affair what it undoubtedly will be—a credit to the city and to the nation. I am very much gratified at his selection.” The Oppos: & Republicans. The opposition to the appointment of Mr. S. W. Woodward as chairman of the ge: eral inauguration committee was well voiced today by Mr. L. M. Saunders, one of the committee that called upon Mr. Hanna Saturday to enter a protest against the selection of a democrat as the head of the committee which has in charge all the local arrargements for the inaugural ex- ercises. In the course of a conversation wit a Star reporter this afternoon, Mr. Saunders said: “Mr. Weodward is a near neighbor of mine on Washingtcn Heights, and nothing could be farther from my mind than to say anything which would seem to refect in the slightest degree upon him either as a business man or us a citizen. He is a man for whom I have the highest esteem. and any objection that I may have ma was based solely and only upon politic: grounds. It did not seem to me fair tiat a democrat should be selected for the office when there were so many republicans of long standing who were eminently capable of filling the position. “The appointment of Mr. Bell to the place is thoroughly satisfactory to me, as I am sure it will be to every republican in the District. Of Mr. Bell as a citizen every one in the community knows, and the fact that he is a member of the same political party as the incoming President is all that need be said to qualify him for the position of chairman of the inauguration commi tee” Mr. Simon Wolf, who was also one of those republicans who did not take kindly to the appointment of a democrat, said to a Star reporter today: “The appointment of Mr. Bell is the most satisfactory solution.of the difficulty that could have been hit upon. There is one thing I want to say, and you cannot ex- Press it in words too strong, and that is that the fight against Mr. Woodward was not made on personal grounds. As a busi- ness man and a public-spirited citizen no man stands higher than he. My opposi_ tion to him was solely or. the ground that it was entirely against precedent to select a democrat to induct into office a President of the opposite political faith. I did not consider it fair at all to choose a democrat and appoint him over the heads of so many republicans who were equally capable. “Mr. Woodward's position in the campaign which has but just closed reminds cre very much of the death-bed repentance of Ordinary Blank Books 3 ct Perhaps you 1c- mid shape and un- ‘y've got to be mad - der—so you'd better see us right aw: an° plenty of thne, in ord-r to give you. our best work.

The indications are that fair w row a long-time sinner, and I did not ..d do not think it fair to do more f gold lemocrat than for life-long republicans whose loyalty to the party has been un- wavering. The appointment of Mr. Bell is In every way satisfactory to me as an individual as president of the Nationa: Union Republican Club. It is directly line with a suggestion that I made to M: Hanna when I cailed upon him Satur afternoon. He asked me what I thew was the vest solution of the difiiculty, a I told him that I thought the best thi was for Mr. Woodward to withdraw and decline the nomination.” “But Mr. Woodward did decline the ap- pointment, and as long ago 2s 28th of last month. He never did mace ee appoint- ment, so far as 1 can understand.” “Well, well. Is that so? Then, if that’s the vase, what have Mr. Hanna and Mr, Parker deen doing with us all those da, Yiave they been playing with us? Representative ubeock, chairman of the District committee, said today: “The selection of Mr. Bell is in ¢ way a good one. He is a man of mark exccutive ability and thoroughly compc- tent to conduct the preparations for the inauguration.” Officials x Cosmmiss:oner Truesdell—"I know ¢Mr. Bell very well. I think it is an excellent appointment. He is admirably qualified In every respect.” Commissioner Powell—“The selection of Mr. Bell is a gcod one and I think will be generally satisfactory. He is eminentiy fit- ted for the position.” "Mr. T. A. Lamiert—“The appointment first-class. Mr. Bell is a good man for the trying position.” Mr. Frank Hume—“While I know Mr. Bell, I am not acquainted with his po! If he is a republican, 1am thoroughly sat fied with the selection. My opinion is that the ceremonies attending the inauguration of President McKinley should be in the hands of republicans. Of course, we demo- crats can and will kelp all we can to make it a success.” Frank P. Madigan—Mr. Bell is peculiarly fitted for the position, and no man could have been selected who is better fitted for it. He is certainly a man of great ability, who has worked himself to the top of the ladder in business circles, and will, no doubt, make the inauguration a complete succe James L. Pugh, jr.—The appointment is a most excellent one, and certainly could rot have been better. Mr. Bell’s high charac- ter and splendid business abilities makes him fitted for the responsible position. Un- der his management the people may expect an inauguration which will surpass any- thing of the kind in past years District Attorney Birney—“Everybody knows Charlic Bell, and every one likes him. He is a fine fellow, and will be sure to make a great success of the matter. I am sorry that Mr. Woodward has declined, for he is a most successful business man, ard I think his selection was a most proper one.” Mr. Isidore Saks: “I am very sorry that Mr. Woodward declined to act as chair- man of the inaugural committee, but { re- gard Mr. Bell as in every way fitted to fill the place, and am sure he will leave noth- ing undone to make the event of which he is to have charge entirely successful.” Mr. G. Lansburgh: “Mr. Bell is entitled to any position to which he may be ap- pointed, and I consider him well qualified to be the chairman of the inaugural com- mittee.” Mr. James E. Fitch: “The appointment is first-class in every respect, and the citizens should be glad that the services of such a man as Mr. Bell have been secured.” Mr. C.

Mr. Andy Gleeson: I am glad to see that a straight-out republican has been selected as the head of the inaugural committee. Mr. Woodward was a good man, but would have been very much better had he been a republican. The ceremonies attending the inauguration of a President should certait= ly be in charge of representatives of his party. Mr. Charles L. Gurley: It is a good ap- pointment; first-class in every respect. Mr. | Bell will make the !nauguration a success. Chief of Police Moore: I am pleased with the appointment. Mr. Bell is one of the solid men of Washington, and is no doubt qualified in every ‘respect to fill the po- sition. Alexander R. Mullowny: Mr. Bell is a man of extraordinary executive ability, and a better selection could not have ‘been made. In order to make an event such as an inauguration a success St is necessary to have an energetic business man in charge. Such a man has been selected, and certainly it is a case of the right man in the right place. Mr. William J. Frizzell, secrctary of the American Building and Loan Association: “To the victors belong the spoils, Mr. Bell is a splendid gentleman. I regard him as eminently qualified for the position to which he has been appointed.” Richard Sylvester: ‘Mr. Bell is an affa- ble gentleman and a thorough business man in every respect.

And right here a curious phase of the situation develops itself. Ensley, the re- publican nominee in Jackson, is a devote Pritchard man. His opponent, a democrat, is for free silver, and, of course, against Pritchard. Now, the populists hate a gold man—or say they do—and they also hate a democrat. Now, fer which shall they vote? ‘The populist leaders are getting letters by the score from Jackson county people ask- far the leaders have not answered these in- They are trying to steer betwixt d Charybdis. Their plight is real- ly laughable. Senator Butler's Prediction. Senator Butler, when The Star corres- pondent asked him if Senator Pritchard would be re-elected, said that no gold man could possibly be elected, save by demo- cratic votes. Otho Wilson, populist, is working like a beaver for the Senate. There were people who thought his candidacy a joke. R. B. Davis, populist elector-at-large, assures me that not only is his candidacy seriou: but that he ts quite likely to get the caucus nomination of the populists. But one thing is sure, and that is, he cannot be elected without democratic’ votes. So it comes about that in this senatorial matter the democrats absolutely hold the balance of power, unless one thing happens. ‘The pop- State chairman remarked the other day that it was “risky to make a bet against Pritchard, for,” said he, “Pritchard may come here and take a pledge to su » silver. Then you will see people 's vote for him.” But the que es whether Senator Pritchard wll is ne good will between Senators Butler and Pritchard, and yesterday Mar- shall Mott came here specially to see the former.

CONDENSED LOCALS At a meeting of North Carolinians resi- dent In Washington last Saturday, about sixty ladies and gentlemen being present, a committee was appointed to draw up a plan for the organization of a social club. A very entertaining program was ren- dered Friday night by Central Lodge, 1. O. 0. F., of this city. The occasion was a visit from Metropolis Lodge, and all pres- ent thoroughly enjoyed the entertainment. Charles Thompson, a fifteen-year-old col- ored bicyclist, collided with a coal wagon on H street near Sth Saturday afternoon. The wagon ran over his arm and fractured it badly. The driver was not arrested, as bystanders regarded the accident as the result of the boy’s own carelessness. Surgeon General George M. Sternberg, U. S. A., the recently elected president of the Biological Society, delivered the presiden- tial address before a large audience Satur- day ning at the Builders’ Exchange Mall. The subject of the lecture was “The Malarial Parasite and Oiher Pathogenic Provozoa.” The regular monthly meeting of the medi- cal board of the Emergency Hospital was held yesterday afternoon, but, owing to che absence of several members, nothing vut routine business was transacted. James McCracken, who resides at 4 sireet_ northwest, M was riding his bicycle went another. When this happened the man who caused it boarded the car and icCrachen went to the Emergency Hos- al.
