Number OF Appointments " i,ici " i'll
Not Add to Republican Strength in
This State.

communication. Il is full of gossip ard
viii doubtless interest some of the readers
of the CHRONICLE. He writes:
The National Administration seems ia
ted to make unfortunate appointments in
this State. The selection Of Dr.. W II.
heeer to be Postmaster at this place
was q surprise to al the people and inten
sities the fight against Congressman John
NJ Brewer Capt J. ". Goslin. editor Of
the Republican, was an applicant, but
not outstanding his continuous services
during the past twenty years in bcAalf of
the Republican Party he was not able to
command the indorseiacnt of Mr.. Brewer.
Capt Goslin has been Identified with
the Charles A. ReynolG2 wiUc OF toe Re
publican Party i'll the Fifth Congressional
District. In the campaign of 1886 he
supported Reynolds for the nomination,
aud after Brewer WAS nominated the Re
publican did not support Brewer, who
was, however, elected. Reynolds, Goslin,
and their friends did not support Brewer
last year because he voted for tie Mills
bill, 50 thai Brewer felt that be was IA der
10 obligations to give G0slin the 7, :, .u,:->-
tership at this place. Dr.. Whe' '.r vas
not know Us an ,pI liclff. He Aa~ al'-
pointed solely OF the r,c0mmeud"tj.u Of
Brewer. The appointment of tsoa.ln
would have healed he breach and secured
TIE aupleit OF the Republican. Il would
have added much to he chances of Brow
er for denomination next gear. Last
year il was felt that Brewer deserved
denomination, because he bad redeemed a
~trong Democratic q rIct. He has now
had an Endorsement by 4 second term. aud
t1ero " u he strenuous effort made next
z,ei - beat him for q third nomination.
Brewer Is fond Of saying that his vote for
the Mills bin secured his reelection. The
qpointment Of Wheeler viii split up For
S}th county 50 badly that the Republican
majority in the district will be wiped out.
The appointment Of Jonathan y. White
as Postmaster at Greensboro is also well
calculated to defeat Brewer for reuomiud-
ton. Mrs Settle, the widow OF Judge
Thomas Settle, was an applicant Tor this
Office and ought to have been appointed.
Her husband was the Idol OF North Caro-
lima Republicans He was the one leader
whom they ali delighted to follow He
died suddenly last November, of heart
disease, ana left large and oependcnt
family. 1t was relt as her Endorsements
will show, that Ms. Settle was entitled to
the place, and every prominent ncpublj-
can. eXcsp. Congressman Brewer and
Thomas T. keogh of Greensboro, was
heartily in her favor, and We're surprised
and di>-usted that she should have ,he
sish.c~l opposition.
The neo4h5 ana he Settles have been at
war for several years keo-h and James
Z BOYD, who ctlt and puhli>h the North

Brewer, although Boyd did bot vote for
Bower las, Nsremb-I. Having failed TO
