Mr.. Cleveland Invited to Canada
Postm asters' Salaries Adjusted.
frrom Our Regular Correspondenti

and collectorship for the Western DIS
trct Of North Carolina. Tho talk
now is that Mr.. Il. Il. Clean,
of Winston, will be appointed Attorney.
and the collectorship will go to Mr.
Hope Elias, of Franklin. Should this
prove TO be correct-and quite number
OF North Carolinlans now IN the city seem
TO think it will-bo of these lead
ing aspirants will procure o good
office and the extreme ends OF the
judicial and collection district Will be
recognized. 1t will also tend to bring
about the utmost harmony. Mr.. Glenn
made most brilliant canvass last year IN
the capacity OF elector ut large, and Sena,
tor Vance has been insisting he should
have the district attorneyship. On the
other hand, Mr. Elias undoubtedly had
tho ear Of the President, and
Senator Ransom was giving him
most cordial support, IL Is SAID. Now. II
Mr. Glenn Is made the Attorney and Mr.
Elias is willing TO take the collectorship,
as report has 1t. each Will receive his re-
ward. though some other excellent gen
tlemen necessarily must get left. Mr..
Elias has always been hard party
worker. and he has never held
an office other than being member OF the
State Legislature. Should Mr. Elias be-
come Collector 1t ia said that Mr. Stephen
Bell will be given n good place under
him. Mr.. Bell ls "a prominent Alliance
man and has done good work TOR the
party OH the stump.
