THERE Is a good deal Of hard swearing at
Toledo, Ohio, we judge, by some documents
that have reached us, in regard to the appoint
ment Of Dennison Steele as Postmaster there,

Toledo papers that ex. Representative Ashley
has been instrumental in the removal OF Reed,
whose retention had been asked for by the
leading business men OF Toledo. 1t is stated
that Ashley threatens to stay In Washington
un ii he has "guted all the Toledo Offices" II
is evident that things are not harmonious N
the Toledo District.
