Democrat Displaced by n Republican.

Washington: August 22.-Secretary Car
Isle has held up the appointment OF
J.P.Shipp as keeper OF the Neuse River
light house, North Carolina. Mr.. Shipp
was recommended for appointment by
the Lighthouse Board. He is now
assistant keeper. On the report OF Com
mander Sterling. inspector for that dts
trict, the former keeper, J.W. Brabble.
was removed for being away from his
station eight days at a time without
permission. The collector OF customs at
Wilmington recommended the promo
ton OF Shipp 10 tpe place OF keeper and
this recommendation was concurred In by
the Lighthouse Board. IL appears that
Brabble is a Democrat and Shipp is a
Republican. These facts were brought
out by Congressman Branch, OF North
Carolina, on whose request the appoint
ment of shipp was held up. II is
stated by members OF the Lighthouse
Board that they have no way OF knowing
the politics OF men appointed IN the
service. and that the service knows no
politics.
II is stated by the Lighthouse Board
however. that old collectors OF customs
upon whose recommendation keepers are
usually appointed select Republicans and
the board never asks their politics.
