TOWN ELECTIONS - EIGHTEENTH
WARD oRGANIzATION.
The suggestion that william Cullen Bryant be the
next Postmaster is received with much favor by
large number of Republicans. In the distribution OF
Federal appointments all parts Of the city save the
Eastern District have been recognized and II the
locality" idea has any weight whatever that part
Of the city slould furnish the new Postmaster Mr.
Bryant possesses to eminent degree the business
and social qualities beftting the incumbent of this
important Office lie is popular both In and out Of
his party. since 1878 he has had charge Of the bus
ness Office Of The Brooklyn Times and has achieved
a notable degree Of success. He Is forty-one years
old and Is distant relative Of the poet whose name
he bears. He is an active member Of the American
Newspaper Publishers Association. and the president
OF the new Hanover Club. The Eastern District has
not furnished tho Postmaster for the city since 1874,
when the Williamsburg and Grcenpont Offices were
consolidated with that Of Brookyn, and C. c. Talbot,
Who had Postmaster OF Williamsburg, became first
Postmaster Of the entire city.
