That official !a always bony, and the Bockeye man had to wait a short time in the ante-room. While there a gentleman from Georgia, who waa evidently is the statesman business, struck np a conversation with him. He assumed that any man who bad an appointment with Mr. Vilas moat be a Democrat, and be talked freely, the Ohio man .receiving it all with sagacious nodi of the head and an occasional ' ahem,'?jnat enough to keep the "Jawjaw" man's iaw' going. Heaaid: "That's the Virginia delegation that haa joat gone into th?. Postmaster-General'a room. Virginia and Ohio are the two States that the administration is moat anxious about now. They are the first States to hold important elections, and the Democrats there are insisting on a clean sweep ol the office#.

AVashikcto*, May 25-?It now appears that the appointment ol Judge WicUUTe to beUuited States District Attorney tor Kentucky na made in accordance with a matured plan of the President's. On Friday nobody in Washington thought Judge Wicklifle would be appointed. He wsa antagonized by both kentucky Senators, by the entire delegation, by Proctor kooii, uovernor or uie state |ui cousi), sod by an overwhelming majority of the local authorises is polities. * Almoat hia only backer waa Atterney General Garland, and that ni not considered a very important fact, in view of the Montgomery caae in California, and the telegraphic recall of the commission leaned for the Iowa Marshalshin at Mr. Garland's earnest requeat. People, therefore, were astoonded at the annoancement vestenlav that Judge Wickliffe bad been chosen, and wen wholly at a lose to account for it An explanation, however, is given by the wiae. They say that Mr. Cleveland, before entering upon hia executive duces, formulated a plan upon which he would distribute the patronage. It waa a purely geographical plan. He prepared a map to assist him m executing hia idea. Perhaps the Kentucky caw wiii illustrate the proposition. For instance, when young Buck was appointed to Peru, Mr. Cleveland stack a peg in that section of Kentucky which Mr. Buck was supposed to represent / When Mr. Durham's nomination came another peg was planted, Then Boyd Winchester to tiwiizsrland and Warren Geen to Japan. Thus when the District Attorneyship arose, Mr. Cleveland found two pegs already in Louisville, and a large district of Kentucky still bare. Furthermore, Mr. Watteraon and [other diatinguiahed Kentackian. wen orpDK a LooitvUle man lor Surveyor of the Port, and a large petition had come on lignftd by leading citizen* of four States, urging another Lonisville man aa Steam Inspector. Then Mr. Cleveland, seeing hia system in dancer of total extinction, and feeling that aimpie justice was also involved, declared that he conld not asd woald sot Kive everything to Louisville. He was in a meamre compelled to concede the Surreyorship, since that was essentially a local office. Similarly, he felt that Lonisville was entitled to Ufa Steam Inspectorship, because it was moat largely interfated, and because its favorite was beat recommended Consequently the District Attorneyship was refuted to Mr. Fleming who had. the indorsement of nearlv every prominent representative man in the State, and bestowed upon Jadge.Wickliflfe.

Pittkbckch, Pi., May 25.?The salt conference of the iron manufacturers and the Amalgamated Aasociation, which hat been in daily aeaaion since last Friday, adjourned fine die this evening withonf litoinu pm^KmI n MHlamonf. Thu turn aiiaira have taken it > great surprise, u il was thought that tbo proposition of the Amalgamated Association to accept alt percent redaction would meet the approval of the manufacturers. The latter were not satisfied with this, however, and demanded other concessioni which theironworkers refund to grant and the conference broke up. A genera] strike on the first of Jane now seems inevitable. Bothjrides appear determined to hold out and a bitter struggle is anticipated. The Amalgamated Association will have their scale printed immediately and sent to all the manufacturers in the West on Wednesday. The officers of the Association claim that a number of mill owners will accept their scale and continue their mills in operation. This is denied by the iron matters, who assert that they never were as strongly united ss at present. Secretary Martin, of the Amalgamated Association, in speaking of thi conference to-night said: "Perfect harmony prevails, but the manufacturers wanted too much. In the interest of peace the* iron workers committee made concession after concession, until finally they were compelled to refuse to make any more changes." Concluding, Mr. Martin said: "They woald stand oat for six mouths if it were necearary to gain their point If the mills close down nearly 100,000 men will be thrown ont of employment."

Pittsbi-boii, Pto, May 25.?The wage question, second only to that of the Amalgamated Association, is the scale of the nailers which will be considered by the manufacturers on \Vedneaday of this week. Heretofore the question of nailers' wages waa considered in the general scale presented by the Amalgamated Association, bat the nailers withdrew from the Association, and bare effected aa organisation of their own known as the United Nailers of America. Last Monday they presented their scale to the manufacturers. It is but a copy cf that which ruled during the cnrrent year, no chinges at all having been made. The nailers are auxiouaiy iooiung torwara to wimt action the manufacturers will take in regard to it at their meeting on next Wednesday. The meeting mil be held either in this city or Wheeling, and it ia expected that representatives from all sections of the country where nails are manufactured will be preaent, X Lawrence vi lie nailer was interviewed this morning in regard to the new soale. ' The nailers," he said, "are of one opinion for a continuance of last year's wage.". Whatever hitch there will be is most likely to be between the manufacturers them* selves. There is likely to be considerable discussion between the manufacturers of iron and steel. The faot can't be disputed that steel nails are rapidly supplanting iron nails. Ifow the iron nail manufacturers realize this, and in order that they may the better compete with steel nails, will work hartf to have the nailen make a 10 percent reduction on l?st year's sole for the manufacture o{ iron nails, and a 10 percent advance (or steel nails. Their irjrameot is that by this arrangement the nailers will averagethe same wages as last year. On the other hand, the steel niil manobctoren, I hear from a good source, are grilling to give RiaJO percent advance, but will not be villin,i to bare a 10 percent reduction on the iron naila. So you see, it is a fifht, if fight at all, between the manufacturers themselves, and ( think their differences will be amicably settled wit]) (he prospective result of our Kale remaining the same u last year, for my own part, I would lust aa soon work on steel as iron naila.
