At the republican caucus held Saturday
evening for the nomination of candidate
for postmaster, So votes were given for
d. Buchanan, Jr., and 80 for H. S. Web
ster, the present incumbent. A check
list of 157 names of republican voters,
patrons of the office, had been prepared
by committee agreed upon by the can
didates and the meeting was quiet and
orderly. It was clearly shown that if a
party is to have any voice in the selection
of it's officers, there could be no fairer
way. 1t is much better than to go by
the choice of some self-appointed boss in
the naming of candidates for federal ap-
pointments.
