The Postoilice Question.

W. B. Wallis term expires the last oil
February, not next month as some sup
pose. Parties who have signed either Of
the papers that have been circulated anc
who wish to have any voice in the matter
should not sign any other paper as the
rule adopted by the Congressional delega-
ton, in all such cases, where names arr
found on two or more papers or found on
one paper and letter favoring another
candidate, is TO strike such names of al
papers that they are upon. We have
been informed on the highest authority
that the two papers that have been circu-
lated the past year are good and parties
need not sign any other unless they wish
to have no voice in the matter. We sim
ply state the above facts that the people
may understand the situation and act ac.
cordingly.
