Postmaster Pyle'a official term OK
pires to-day, and though 1t Ia compe-
tent for him 10 continue in Office until
bis successor 10 appointed and qnali~
fed, 1t is probable the appointment
will be announced during this week.
Tho latest rumors are of such a
character % to make Major Swiggstt' 8
chances look rather bright, though,
Of course, nothing definite will be
known until the official action OF the
President 10 made public. In the
tirst place Il is urged against the pres
eRt incumbent that he has already
held the Office two full terms, and q
third term 10 not In aocordanoe with
Republican principles. Again, it is
argsd that the post Office needs O
cleaning out aud thorough re0rganiza-
tion that can only be secured by turn
ing down Postmaster Pyle and ap-
pointing new man II his place.
II Ia Telatsd with great gles by the
adhaFents Of Major 6wiggett that the
Pyle delegation which called upon
President Arthur last week. we're in
formed by him that he would ap-
point q RspubItcGn to the office, speo-
tal stress Deing laid upon the party
term. This the stalwart me hbers
oonstrue into an intimation that PJAt-
master Pyle's friends, many Of whom
voted for Mayor Almond in 1878, aud
supported the Democratic municipal
refol m candidates In 1874, will have
no inauense with the present adminis-
tration, which 10 supposed to favor
only Republicans Of the stalwart con~
sistent type. rfE@E
The State Central Committee Re-
publieans, who are backing Major
SwiRgett, relate the above incident
with evident satisfaction, and seem to
regard IL - conclusive evidence OF the
success Of their candidate. A few
more days viii show whether they
are right or wrong.
