something or other, will avail anything.
Some ray tia, Judge Joslen cannot
have the Post Office, as The "BOmbons
are no, 10 be resiOred," us far as he is
concerned but they say that he may
have The Colcctorship, and lha, he must

does not quietly acquiescc in any such
arrangement and desires 10 know the
right OF any faction o! the Iarly 10 die.
tate as t. what he shall have. The
Judge is undoubtedly correct in this
particular, aud lie ought to adhere TO
, his position, aud insist upon his rights,
nnd not be cheated out oi them by de-
signing and artlul men, who undcrval-
ue his services and arcnot willing that
he should have his true grade III the
pary, = for he is one OF tie most con-
rislent and lhorough-golng Democrats
IN the State. Our advice TO the Judge
is to stand firm, and not be bluled by
liz opponents who are jealous of his
talents, cnpablity and influence Judg-
ing from some very important lniorma-
ton which We nave recently received,
in rather IL peculiar manner, but which
10 entirely reliable we are very conf
dent that Judge Josltn will he the new
Post Master. Influences will be- brought
20 operate in his favor with the admin
,siraton which the other and mucl,
+ smaller wing Of the party little dr. am
Of; his claims will be most iorcibly
presented and powerfully sustained
The Judge was one Of the early mar
tyrs TO Dorrism in 1912; he was Dorl
General Treasurer, and lie Was faithful
10 the cause, us Tar as he could be. He
even went 10 the venerable S.ephcn
Cnhoone, who was then General Treas
urer of the State, and made formal
dcmand for The books. papers. funds,
g.. and this certainly required high
degree OF courage ard confidence IN tie
cause. Mr.. CaI'oone very politely III
formed the Judge that he could not sur
render ,lcse things 10 him. The Judge
was afterwards indicted tor Trrason.
and went through with all the pcrsecu-
ton which the rascalIy a A!g, rrcs ii :
fllricd upon those pure and lnmaculhtc
IaiIiols who were assocE ted with D"ri.
The Judge behaved as gallant, Y as his
personal safety would allow and was no
more irightci ed than all the others vino
undertook to accept Office under Dorr.
But Mr.. Turner was very quiet in those
day t of danger and trouble he took
good care OF himself. and kept in "a quiet
aud safe position. Now, in consequence
oi all these things. we fay that the
Judge has Il precmincnt claim for tho
Post Office, and one wh'cl, cannot lr
mnkcd ON, Of sight. He Las once
held he lfice and discharged its du-
tics faithfully, and if our rrrscn, wor-
thy Post Master is to be removed, We
know Of no man who will give better
satisfaction To the whole community
than Judge Jos'n.
Everything now indicates that MIR.
Turner and lis assistant will have TO
wait awhile, for the Post Office will not
be assigned 10 them. Judge Joslcn's
claims are SUI crior TO those OF amy 9th
er man, and he will positively he the
new Post Master. Mark cur prediction
