TOO MUCH POSTMASTER.

If we were to undertake the task of
writing an sable" and elegantly written
editorial" Ia mode, with d spice of the
"ethical current" in it, we should do it
somewhat thusly The subject of the
postmaster in politics is attracting consid-
cradle attention, and as the New York
Tribune says-we may as well interject the
remark here, although the admission, as
well as the subject, is departure from the
style, that we copy verbatim of the 7ri-
6uneS "political notes.; 1t is safe to pre-
dict that the name of no postmaster will
ever again decorate an electoral ticket.
those spasms which seized it on learning
that in order to honor $50 postmaster it
had come within an ace of being defeated.
1t has resulted, however, in bringing the
subject prominently before the country,
and led the people to ask if there Is not a
little too much postmaster. Commenting
upon it Tile Baltimore american says: at
is alarming to see what large number of
postmsstcrs, United States commissioners,
and other federal officials are discovered
to be among the presidential electors. The
result ls that several OF he electors chosen
for Mr.. Hayes are threatened with dis
qualification. The persistence with which
these persons have put themselves forward
for such positions has kept the party in
perpetual hot water. About half of all the
