pointed the Postmaster for this city, nor
has he in any way positively indicated
who will succeed Sam Dickinson in that
important Office. While the matter is
still in abeyance, so far as Mr.. Cleveland
and Mr.. Dickinson are concerned. there
is not wanting a deal OF quiet energy by

Contest-Riddle-E Editor John Fake Kelly.
Soaring is the ambition of Mr.. Kelly;
pushing are his friends, hackers and
heelers.
For Mr.. Kelly would be Postmaster OF
this town, and If be gets there, many
would be the weary tongues that would
utter anathemas upon the devoted head
of Mr.. Kelly. Those tongues would first
feel fatigue from licking that libel on art,
the Wanamaker Columbian Postage
Stamp, to send answers TO Mr.. kelly's
publications, wherein for so cents, the
owners of the tongues aforesaid are
promised. -''wall, anyhow, ,"-S25 or
some other glittering prize.
These alluring promises are made IN
tine publications in which Mr.. Kelly has
proprietary interest, and of which he is
chief promoter and head protector. For
Mr.. Kelly has the strong arm OF he
police TO uphold him IN his funny llttle
schemes, and, not content with that,
would have the Federal govern nlent ex-
tend it's paternai wings over his proceed
ings, under the shadow OF which he
could work out the plans for the further
extension of his little lottery law evadIng
racket.
