The death of Postmaster Pearson of
New York is an event that was not un-
expected. He has been affii .ted with can
Ger of the stomach, and it was generally
believed that the crisis had been reached.
Mr.. Pearson was regarded az o good Of
Gcer and President Cleveland reappointed
him when his term expired, notwithstand-
ing he fact that he was republican.
This appointment under such circum-
stances was MIR. Cleveland's most con-
spicuous recognition of the independent
vote by which he was elected. Bv many
1t was thought that President Harrison
would re appoint Postmaster Pearson. but
