The leader in the Netos and Adpesfiser, If Mil
Ioru ia its Last issue, entitled The Next Election
Ia DelUwarc," bays =" The prospect Of this sue
cess tends naturally to i'ring to lhe front class
OF trading politicians, who have IN the dark days

These are threatening now to combine, fer
merely personal endA."
The masses Of the people OE all parties are
sick and tired OF such combinations, and will not
support any pArty that IS thus prpstrated." Is the
editor on the stool Of repentance Who are these
coming to the fr0nLP' Hemuat mean the con-
blnatiOn that engineered the appointment Of The
DalAVsArsane" democratic postmaster here, Mr.
MI. Fyie. IL would seem TO Be formidable com.
binetion aS thay we're successful In defeatuR such
gallant old soldier as Captain Charles II. Gala
EhOFS Who Whlle this "demOcrhtic postmhstsrs
Was at home, was IN the field defending herOieAl-
ly his countTy.
The con6rmAtion Of Mr.. PYLE has net besn con.
sumAted, although Il il supposed It viii be in
day or two Ss 1t Is strongly urged by such stsr-
ling Republican Senators as Hon. Thomas n. Bay.
ard and Eli SAulSbaTy OF Delaware, and Hon.
simeon CameEOO Of Pa
We have ne desire to interfere in the
quarrel Of these different cIiques of the
Radical party. Nor does it make much
difference TO the DemocrAts who gets
the Possofice. If Mr.. p yle's nomina-
tiOn is confirmed we shall feel quite
sure we will have q man il the PostOf-
Zee who is fully competent, from expe-
rience, to discharge all the duties. and
who will be able to dismiss some of the
unnecessary force that is SO frequently
found idling away time about the place.
II Capt. Gallagher gets the Office, he
viii be found quite able to do all the
duties that are required of him after he
learns ho,C, and nobody will complain
that a polite and Obliging man is not in
the Office.
But we shall then have politician
up to all the tricks peculiar to those
who spend nearly all their time in
working ''up the necessary majorities. "
But what we lose in ono way we may
gain in another, as the city then will
undoubtedly get rid of an officer who
scarcely has an equal in devising "ways
and means to keep political bummerz
in Office and make extravagant OUTLAWS.
Yet the Custom House King has a
hard cheek to assail MT. Pyle. There
is about work enough in the Custom
ID use for one efficient man at duty hall
bis Time, nevertheless there are three OF
four salaried men to do the work, which
we would be willing to bet Mr.. Pyle
could himself accomplish alone Now
