BRoWGRs PROFITABLE BLUFF.
1t Has Already Melted Him Three
Postmastership5

PoStma stership5.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 13.-Mr. Brewer of
North Cardinals said to be content with the
net results of his speakership bluff, to wit:
Three presidential postmasters-one at
Reidsville, one at Winston and one at
Greensboro. In the latter case his candi-
date defeated the widow of the late Judge
Settle. The local republican paper objects
to bis Winston appointee as a nonresident,
but Mr.. Brewer is happy and, if he is given
good committee places, will kick
no more. Tom Keogh's activity in
bolstering up the kickers is due
not only to his own desire, to get an Office
under the coming House, but TO his part
ner's failure to be reappointed district
attorney for North Carolina. His partner,
Boyd, had not only been district attorney
under President Arthur, but Harrison's
delegate at large at Chicago. Judge Mott,
the North Carolina "Mahone," had Charles
Price, independent, appointed district
attorney and Price then appointed Motifs
son his assistant. So far all the results Of
the movement have gone to Mr.. Brewer.
