Today was a good sam- ple of the crowds which are investing the White House. At 12 o'clock word was sent ont that the President would not be able to see any more visitors. Then the crowd trooped away, disappointment showing on their faces. The President leaves for Canton tomor- row evening. If he has time today or to- night he will get a large number of ap- pointments ready to send to the Senate to- snorrow. ‘These will include a number of consulships.

Dr. I. 8. Hopkins of At- lanta for this position. Some time ago it was reported that the President had cided to give this much-sougnt-for plece to Dr. Hopkins, but this was found to be erroneous, although it was ascertained that Dr. Hopkins was well thought of by tne President. There are many influential ap- plicants for the Grecian mission, and Dr. Hopkins stands well. What is saul to be working against him is that he is from a state which has received its share of patronage. Republicans from other por- tions of the country are remonstrating against too many appointments going to the southern states, which made no show- ing in the last election, especially Georgia. Dr. Hopkins, however, is a personal friend of the President, who has not, so far, divided the foreign missions by states. Dr. Hopkins 1s a prominent Methodist divine, and, although he had always been a democrat, worked for McKinley last year. 2 ‘The President is beginning to make some of the appointments which the Kentuck- jians have been after.

The commiitee adjourned without action and with no « fixed for further consid- eration of the question, but it is expected chat there wiil be either a committee meet- ing called at an early day to act upon the nomination or that the chairman will poll the committee on the subject without hav- ing a formal meeting. Although the issue j over the appointment is in itself not one of political consequence, it is liable to © sirew which will tilt the scale against Mr, Wellington and threaten his authority in Maryland polities. There has been a great deal of dissatisfaction among certain Maryland republicans with Mr. Wellington's arrogant method of dictating to the whole party, but his supposed in- e and intimate relations to the ad- ation have given him a strengin which he might not otherwise have, and have rendered those who were opposed to him more or less timid a}out placing them- selves in antagonism to one who might have the car of the President. The attl- tude which hi assumed toward the President in this matter, however, is Kable to bring about friction’ between ‘him and the administration, which will encourag> the anti-Wellington forecs in Maryland to resist his authority. It is regarded as not at all improbable that he may be over. thrown in the ight which is now on ove the nomination of mayor in Faltimore, in which a great deal of dissatisfaction has been engendered by the course he has pur- sued. ee PRINTING OFFICE CHANGES, Announcement of a Number of Pro- otions.

He Asserts That the Populist Tail of the Ticket Wanted to See Me- Kinley Elected. Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. RALEIGH, July 1.—In Senator Butler's paper today is a four-column editorial, signed by him, in which he says: “Here are two reasons given- by the people's party paper (of Tom Watson) why the Coxeyites Want a conference. First, they want a meeUing wherein they may call on Cha man Butler for a better explanation than he h et given of his reason for not fore- ing Sewall off the ticket, they claiming that this was his duty and that he had the power to do it. The national « tee did not have mm. the power to force t withdrawal of Sewall. If it had it would certainly have done so. The committer made diligent effort to find out if there was any contract, promise or agreement made by Chairman Jones or any other per- representing the demc fe party to effect that Sewall should withdraw as a consideration for the nominat by the peopte’s party. We found that there Was absolutely nothing on ho to base such a claim. Watson refused to co-operate h the committee by stopping his attacks on Sewall, but he aggravated the exe behind which the democratic committee was sheltering. Watson was the one man who could help the commitice create pub- lic sentiment in favor of our demand, yet ion of Bryan he refused to do so, but persisted in pur- suin Which create] public se meni t him. To no one was this more painful or disappo' han to the ional committee. 1 Watson, for some strange and ple reason, or ing Under the influence of bad advisers, some of whom we believe were republican hireiings, throw awa 2 of the greatest riunitics that ever came to a timself and alse to give his miranding and 1 position.

The fight patrio it to question was should it help elect McKinley out of spite and put out a separate elector- al Ucket in every state. This is what Wat- ton wanted the committee to do. “Reason number two is ‘they want a better explanation of Chairm Buler's action suppressing Watson's letter of ac- ceptance than has yet becn given.’ The Istter was not published because it would have helped McKinley and Hanna as tar as Watson's influence extended. For proof of this we refer every ible and fair- minded man to the letter itself. He re- fused to leave out the advice to populisis not to vote the joint electoral tickets. Then the committee refused to be responsible for the publication of the ieiter. Chairman Buller retused to publish it because he did not want to do anything either direc lirectly to help t t McKinley, hesides he did not want to give unity to charge the the defeat of Bryan, it ult. Populists all o held meetings letter. He was atratd self before the election. The committee he would publi afier the elec- lion, to try to call attention from his own Dlunders and cowardly hide behind his at- pon others, enator Butler says he ning, the go-between the republican committee, “was in the of the republican campaign committee.” ——_ _ AGAINST McLAURID uch should be T the country and repudiated to publish tt believes A of Watson and InBY TH ¢ South Carolina for His Old Special Dispateh to The E.
