1t is decidedly amusing to see the
fight going on among the RAIDS about
the post-oilice. Gilmore got install
ed into the post.oflice something al
ter the manner in which Hayes got
into the Presidential Chair, and we
are for retaining him in office, as he
is proving to be very good post
master, and besides no democrat ex-
poets TO get it. The appointment Of
Gilmore to this office has always
been an eye.sore to certain republi-
cans, and they have never ceased in
their attempts to displace him, but
have failed. Now, we are informed,
petitions beseeching His Fraudulon-
cy to appoint certain rad p. m. at
this place, are in circulation. We
hope, however, Gilmore will "run in
on him" as he did before.
