TIMES BUREAU. RaPLEy BUILDING.
WASHINGTON, elruary IS, 1898.

Mr.. William II. Cullingworth, the new
postmaster at Richmond. was I'm the city
to-day upon business connected with his
office. When questioned in regard to
the appointments which are to be made
under him, Mr. Cullngworth was non
committal and did not care to discuss the
probable success OF any OF the candi-
dates for office under him. II is reason
ably certain, however. that Mr.. Lewis ID.
Crenshaw, Frank +. Burke, Maxwell T.
Clarke, and G. Roddy Tenser will fig.
ure somewhere in the new distribution
Of things.
The experience which Mr.. CuIlingworth
/ brings 10 this Office, and his own genial
personality IS an omen to all the patrons
Of the office Of a regime OF excellent
service and competent and intelligent
management.
The officers whose appointments are
only surmised or forecasted. would all
render superior and efficient service. and
are gentlemen of reputation and ability.
