Many Aspirants for Marshalship In Washington Dispatches Indicate Colon el Renfroe Likely Winner
Washington May 17. Georgian telegrams say the marshal appointment may go to Colonel Renfroe, with Judge Crisp and Colonel Livingston shaping the candidate. The president is listening to Livingston and may act once the Georgia delegation agrees, amid intraparty maneuvering and posts in Georgia shaping the balance. The case of Colonel Livingston and Secretary Smith over post office appointments is being reviewed, with possible reopenings to allow new candidates to file. The overall mood hints Renfroe as the front runner, though Buck is still mentioned as a contingency.
