in which they live. All this I'M
doubtedly has worked considerably
on the people. This has been con.
spicuous not only in the west and
south, but in the eastern and mid
die states. 1t is particularly con
spicuous in New York state. There
is a story told, and your CORES
pendent is assured that it is true,
that Representative Charles ID.
Haynes, of New York, democrat
who resides at Undertook, a small
town of 400 or 800 people, sugges-
ted the appointment of postmas-
ter at that town some time ago and
also made request that postmas
ter be appointed, the name of whom
he presented, at New Lebanon, in
the same county.
BOTH REQUESTS REFUSED
The change at Undertook was
desired by Mr.. Haynes, he himself
living there. The change at New
Lebanon was desired by Samuel
J. Tilden, Jr., a nephew of the great
Samuel J. Tilden of New York and
member of the New York Demo
cratic state committee and also a
resident of New Lebanon. The
postmaster general refused to ap.
point either one, but on the contra.
ry appointed postmasiers for both
places who were known TO himself,
without any influence in thor com
munities, without any Democratic
backing, and both of whom were
chiefly recognizable in their local
towns because of the unknownable.
ness of their politics. This is but
an instance, but it will illustrate
the conditions existing in New
York.
LOCAL ISSUES.
But outside of Bissell and the ad-
ministration there is no doubt that
in New York and in New Jersey
the questions that swayed the
voters were to a large extent local.
