WiauisoTos, D. C? May 24.?A prominent
Ohio Republican went the other day
to call on Poetmaater-General Vilas.
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#. Now, you know,
there's something to be said on both sides
of thia 'clean sweep' business. II you
leave the Republican postmasters and so'
on in office the Democrats get* mad and
say it's lo use to vote it you can't get the
fruit* of your victonr. On the other
hand, it you torn all thtse fellows all oat
you simply add that many men to the
list of your working enemies. Theyarr
all aharp, shrewd fellowr, who know the
ropes, and it's not ileairable to have them
and all their frieodi fighting yon.

"Bat the administration has concluded'
to assume the pressure, the President only
warning bis subordinates that they mast
be careful in their selections, and ii posai
ble select men (or tbe offices wfto wiu
exert as much influence In favor of the
administration as the bonnced-ont men
will exert against it There's going to be
ageneral overhauling of the offices, in
those two States just a8 Boon as tbe m*n
are agreed on. The hitch now is with,thp
members of Congress and others who want
to die ate tbe apjjointments. The President
ami his Cabinet are ready to more
twice as faal as they are going, but tbe
State delegations cau't agree, and. soothe
removals are made alowly. Bat they will
be pretty near all made before the election#,
and then the wisdom or ioliy of the
Elan will be demonstrated. I don't know
ow it is going to work, bat I am in favor
of it, anyhow."
ALL MOST 00.
A prominent official of the Postoffi ce
Department told this same Ohio Republican
that charges have been . tiled against
almost every postmaster in the coan*ry.
"How many of them go to the fitness of

"Not one in *thousand," wu the proippt
reply. "Practically ill of them ue charges

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

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.
