worker for twenty-five years is perhaps
the strongest in the State His family
We're staunch supporters of "O!d Tippe

Sherman influence, besides being a strong
original Harrison man. Mrs. Bette Young
desires the post Office at Henderson, un-
derstand she is here working up the case
and my impression Is that she stands
very fair chance of success. Her sister
Mrs Wyche, formerly held the office and
gave great satisfaction | understand
Mrs. Wyche will be Mrs. Young's chief as
sistant if she gets the place Col Ike
Goung's widow ought not to ask in vain
for any favor at the hands of he Rcpub-
lican party. The Republicans will un-
doubtedly get these place and that is why
dwell on them at such length The post
Office at oxford is another good place for
which there are several applicants The
principal ones are DR.. Lon Tayior, the
father of the present Democratic incum-
bent, Mr. Arch Taylor who has, made a
most efficient officer and would have re-
NAMED IN indefinitely II the Democrats
had continued IN power. 1t will be "a
source OF regret to many of the cltlzeuS of
oxford for Mr.. Arch Taylor to lose is
place, but his political bead will surely tali
as soon as the Postoffice Department gets

who is we'll known as a shrewd business
man Is going to thoroughly organize the
entire postal service of the South in the
interest of the G. @. p. Partisans of the
most pronounced stripe are TO succeed

men here working for him The other
most prominent applicant for the position
IS Mr., Manly b. Jones the former post
master who was turned out for offensive
partisanship by Mr.. Cleveland. Mr.. Jones
also has strong Republicans here working
for him. Ex State Senator w X jenkins
came on here partly in the interest Of Mr.
Jones and made out a very strong case for
him. Two facts IN regard TO Mr.. Jones
viii have weight both with the President
and Mr.. Wannamaker one is, that he
made a competent and honest postmaster
aud was dismissed for working for his
party. The other is his dismissed
from postotfice clerkship in oxford last
tall by Mr. Taylor because he refused to
vote for Cleveland and voted for Harri
son. Another reason why | think Mr..
Jones will get the place is the Hon. Frank

on The affairs of the Republicans because
they have a local interest and because
have the best of reasons for knowing that
Democrats Will be made to give place to

Departments here can make Out the com

there Will be no coqutttlng with the Civil
Service law by the present Administr ration
at the South PartIsans, and active working
part isans at that, Will be put IN all the
offices south Of Mason's and Dixon's line

The Democrats who low hold the local of
