WASHINGTON, Jan 12-Thos. J. Mayors of
Nebraska, is here for the purpose OF claiming
his right to seat in the house of representa-
tives from that state. Last fall he was elected
as q contingent member from Nebraska, the
population of his state having increased to
figures to entitle it TO two members. This
was the second time Mayors had been elected.
but six yeare ago he had to appeal to DEM
ocratic house and was refused admission,
Now that the house is REPUBLICAN he believes
he can get his seat. Meantime it is unjust to
keep that portion of Nebraska population
without representation in the house.

There has been many mis-statements with
regard to the case of the postmaster at Mad
isOn, Wis, and attempts have been made to
throw the responsibility for the presidents
upon the recommendation of Postmaster
General Hoar. The facts are, Keys name was
submitted to President Arthur in this connec-
ton by Mr.. James some weeks ago. His
claims have been pressed by Rep
resentative Casewell. The president did not
send in the nomination to the senate because
it was found there was departmental regu-
latiOn fOrbldding postmasters to act as men,
beers of the legislature, to which position
Keys had been elected. There is also a pro-
vision in the Wisconsin state constitution pro-
hibiting this combination of offices. 1t thus
appears that the matter is entirely beyond the
control of the present postmaster general.
