The August. po.,m..,er.h,p,

The Boston Journal had the following in
its Washington special:
Editor Bass of the Bangor Commercial
leaves for home tonight rather discouraged
as to the prospects of the appointment Of
Morton as Postmaster at Augusta. Bass
frankly says that he does not think that either
Blaine, Frye or Hale have insiigsted the op-
position. He charges that "Ed" Wilson Of
the Democratic National Committee il re-
spon,ible for it; that Wilson supposed
lie could create opposition enough to prevent
Mortons appointment and to secure the place
for his son without attracting much atten.
tion, and that he did not expect that the dem
ocrats would make a State matter of It. Ed
itor Bass has shown here an interview pub
lished in his paper with Joe Manly some
i'm, in February, in which Manly is report
ed to have said he thought Morton would
secure the place. and believed he would be
good Postmaster. Now Bass says that Man
ley is working for Ed Wilson in opposition
to Morton. Few of the Maine people who
have been here share the great confidence Of
Cove rnor Plaisied that Morton will be sue
cessful. Plaisted said late to. night that he
lock- for settlement Of the question BY
next Wednesday. but he has had no on.
cial intimation as to the Presidents purpo-
ses. Bass thinks that the Postmaster Gsner-
al has committed himself in some way against
Morton, and that the President will be much
influencrd by bIm. Bass also expressed the
opinion that Hale would take no part In the
matter, as 1t might embarrass him in his cam
vass for re election.
