the unpleasant controversy over the
BuCkhannon postoiTiCe by recommend
ing the appointment Of Clark HebneI

THE WHEELING FOsEOFFlCE.
Now as to the Wheeling postotlice,
There is little to say, although there are
indications that an effort is being made
TO secure action on the charges, The
impression is that Atkinson has left II
TO General Golf 10 decide who shall be
appointed, and that Goff has recon.
mended one Of the applicants for the
place, but which one us one Of those
things that no newspaper fellow can
find out, There are persons in town
who claim that they know all about 1t
and have known about II right along,
but they decline to talk about 1t. II this
Is true, 1t would seem that the leaders
had made up their minds long ago as to
who Mr.. Simpsons successor is to be,
and the only thing to be done In the
matter is 10 secure his removal. Gem
eral Golf told the INTELLIGENcER repre-
sentative this evening that the charges
filed against Simpson, he believed, would
hold good, and that the removal and the
appointment Of his successor would
be accomplished within q reasonably
early period. From his manner, 1t was
inferred that he anticipated action II
not tomorrow within few days or a
week at the iarthest. However, this is
merely u surmise, but the INTELLIGEN-
CIR representative believes 1t TO be the
correct one. Tomorrow Is Postotlice
Department day at the White House
and NO secret Is now made OF the fact
that o consideration OF the Wheeling
postotEice case Is expected to be taken
up by the President and Postmaster
General Wanamaker some time to.mor.

on the charges and decision arrived at
10 appoint a new postmaster, the an-
nounCement OF such conclusion will be
delayed possibly for three or four days.
II consideration Is not concluded to-
morrow 1t may be postponed until 10.
morrow week. The papers in the case
are all with the Postmaster General and
It is expected that he will submit them
to President Harrison tomorrow with
his recommendation.
