to Syracuse to-day to spend Sunday He will
probably have no time to attend church. as

York to manage tho Custom House. 1t is un-
derstood that his visit ia purely political In Its
| nature. and that 1t has special reference to the
campaign already opened by Postmaster Car
roll f. Smith against the return to Congress OF
james ]. Beden. The Postmaster took occa-
sion this week. Mr.. Belden being in town. to
declare In his newspaper tho Syracuse Jour
nal that under no circumstances could Mr..
Belden be renominated. Col. George n
Grouse. wholesale grocer of this city. had
before been brought out as the candidate
Of the wing OF the Republican party
led by Senator Hiscock and Collector Hend-

the Collector is in sympathy with this move
ment to shelve Mr.. Belden. not because he en-
tertains any particular lovo for tho Congress-
man. but because his relationship to Post
master Smith is said to be trifle strained.
