whilom bosom friend and staunch sup.
porter the Hon. S, I. Hauser, of Helena.
Mr.. knight, who had fled an applica--
ton for the position has withdrawn it,
together with the accompanying papers.
AS knight is the cashier of Hausers
bank and said to be a brother-in-law also
this is a move in favor of Hauser. The
President is said to be sorely perplexed
over the problem" The wise course for
the Administration to pursue in such
dilemma would seem to be to ignore the
claims of both and appoint third man,
who would be satisfactory to the whole
party.
