was received by the ADVERTISER stating
i that w. s. Chase lad been nominated
by President Harrison for the postmas-
tership Of this city. The news was 4
surprise to some bnt not to those who
knew the office to be really vacant on
account of the non confirmation by the
senate OF DR.. Pratt, the present demo-
cratic incumbent Tho majority had no
! idea that the case OF Stargis would be SO
early reached.
The appointment is a good ono and
will prove entirely satisfactory to the
public at large. The citizens Of Sturgis
can rest assured they will have for the
ensuing four years d careful, accomodat-
ing and painstaking official.
Naturally, there was some disappoint-
ment manifested, but it came entirely
from the friends Of unsuccessful candi-
dates. After the news OF the nomination
Of Mr.. Chase reached here, one of tho
unsuccessful seekers after the office
sought, through his one or two friends,
including democrat, TO stop the con-
frmation OF the nominee by telegraphing
Delegate Matthews, but owing to this
infantife action upon his part it solidi-
fed all other factions and brought them
in body to Chase's standard. It is
safe to say that if the wishes Of the
vast majority Of those who obtain their
mail at the Sturgis Office are respected
Mr.. Chase viii be speedily confirmed.

whom he distanced in the race, has dis
