THEY DON'T LIKE HIGGE.
The Republicans of Charleston Making
Great Efforts TO Have the Postmaster


The Republicans OF Charleston hhAihk
Great Efforts to Have the Postmaster
Bounced.
Special Telegram TO hs Register.
WASHINGTON, August 23.-There is
lively row among the Republican breth-
rem at Charlestno, w. Va, and it grows
out of the appointment OF 5. p. Higgen-
botham as postmaster at that place.
The Republicans don't like Higgen-
botham and they want his scalp. To
this end they have filed formal charges
against him at the Postoffice Depart
ment here. and the Postmaster General
has acknowled the receipt OF these
charges.
The document, which is strong one
and very rough on Mr.. Higginbotham,
alleges in the first place that he pro-
cured his appointment by false pre-
lenses and misrepresentation DE re-
ported TO the census enumerstor that
he was veteran of the war, claiming
to have been a member OF Pennsyl-
yania regiment. Mr.. Higginbotham's 5
opponent took the trouble TO look into
this claim of his, and assert that an In
spection OF the records at Harrisburg
show that he was never member OF a
Pennsylvania regiment.
They also inform the Postmaster
General that in order to get his
office, Higgenbotham, who lived out
side of Charleston, moved into town,
but as soon as hs was appointed, moved
out again. Furthermore IL is alleged
in the charges that Higgenbotham Is
addicted TO the use OF the "flowing
bowl, "and that he is generally inefficient
and no good. The Postmaster General
has promised to have the charges In
vestigated, and will send postoflice
inspector TO Charleston forthwith.

Special TELEGRAM 10 ths REGISTER.
WASHINGTON, ID. c., August IA
Clique OF wealthy Pension Attorneys in
this city has practically controlled the pen
sion office since General Raum was placed
at the head of il by Harrison. Congress
ional investigation has shown that Raum
made rulings which specially favored these
pet attorneys 10 the detriment or other at
torneys not in the combine and OF the old
soldiers who employed the latter TO get
their claims through. The combine are
naturally very anxious that Raum should
remain where he Is and 10 accomplish THIS
they will do everything in their power TO
re elect Harrison.
They have now on foot scheme TO use
the Grand Army Encampmeut here in
September for political purposes, awaiting
themselves OF it TO stir up feeling against
Cleveland among the old soldiers. They
are preparing circulars 10 be placed In the
hands OF every old soldier who attends the
encampment arraigning Cleveland as an
enemy of pensions, and striving IN every
way to embitter the veterans against the
head Of the Democratic ticket In doing
this the pension attorneys combine are
taking a course which is only natural,
for they know that il Cleveland is elected
the present scandalous regime in the pen
sion office will come 10 an end, aud al at
torneys, and all applicants for pensions
will stand on an equal footing and nave an
equal chance to get their claims through.
This would be disastrous 10 the combine,
for it would bring TO an end the special
privileges they now enjoy which have put
hundreds Of thousands Of dollars into their
pockets TO the detriment Of other attorneys
who are not in the combine, aud OF the old
soldiers whose claims are IN the latter S
hands

returned to Cleveland from Canada: He
received a telegram fran Master Workman
Sweeney, of the Switchmen, asking him to
go TO Buffalo for a conference concerning
the strike.
Mr.. Arthur answered that il would be
impossible for him to do so, as his presence
is needed in North Carolina TO adjust the
question of wages on a railroad. He said
that while he feels the greatest sym
pathy for the men at Buffalo it was
his personal opinion that the Brotherhood
would not interfere as it had definite con-
tracts with all the railroad companies TO
run their locomotives on certain conditions,
which have not yet been violated.
