Office, came as sort Of bomb into the
camp al this place. Since Charley gave
up the occupation of editing the Bellaire
DemOcra. and went to Columbus he has

chap spring 80 ungraciously into the con
test for Mr.. Wise's position somewhat
shocked the gentlemen who have some in
terest in the appointment. 1t is said that

OF this city needed to 20 out Of town to Sc.
lect q postmaster, and there are great

is sent here 10 DO Government work in
that capacity. Right here we want to state
that whoever is appointed wants to be an
energetic and capable man or there will
be great commotion.
