vINDICATION LONG DEFERRED.
A Kansas Postmaster indicated of a Crime
After Twenty-Five Years.


WICHITA, Kan, Oct. 9.-Twenty-two
years ago j. L. Holmes, of this city,
who at that time was postmaster, was
convicted in the United States court at
Topeka of stealing registered letters
and sentenced to ten years in the peni-
tentiary. Eighteen months later Holmes
was released at the intercession of
friends who paid the shortage and
whose pleadings almost convinced
the authorities that he had been
wrongfully convicted. But during all
these years Holmes has been unable to
disprove the charges. Yesterday he
received the proof in letter written
from the Lansing. Mich, penitentiary
by King Price, which completely exon
Grated him. Price was clerk in the
office at the time and his letter rec;tes
how he lost money by gambling, how
he first robbed the money drawer of
the post Office and finally took the
registered packages.

SPERRY AGAINST PIGOTT.

The New Haven Postmaster May be IA
Candidate For Congress.
The Hartford correspondent of the
Springfield Republican writes: In state
politics the republicans continue to eX-
perience unbounded confidence of success
for next fall, and, as a result there is no
lack of material for candidates. From
present appearances the republican noml-
nation for congress in this district will go
either to Ex-Governor Buckley or eX-Nlayor
Dwight The latter has a natural taste for
politics, and the same is so true of the for
mer that it doesn't need re-stating. To go
in on the wave and carry this important
district would be equivalent to a political
resurrection for the ex-governor.
In the New Haven district they are dis
GUESSING in the republican papers various
Naugatuck valley manufacturers, but when
the fall comes, if they decide to beat MIR
Pigott, they will be likely to think of N.
d. Sperry as the man 10 do this difficult
act with. The report comes already from
New Haven that his friends have this idea
in their heads. Mr. Sperry is i'll full ply
steal and intellectual Eigor, and the most
popular man in New Haven county.
In the third (eastern) district, Russell
stands ready to go back if the governor
ship isn't thrust upon him, and it isn't
likely to be, and as said last week, there
are Brandegee and Porter in reserve if
needed
In the fourth district, now DeForest's,
old Mr. Miles of Salisbury may be run
again by the republicans. but they are
more likely to take up E. j. Hill of Nor
walk. Mr. Miles has run so often that some
of them think change would be good all
around

LONDON, March 1.-The Chronicle main
tains that, although Mr. Gladstone has not
resigned, he will probably do either
when parliament is prorogued or when it
reassembles for the session. 1t mentions
the rumor about Earl Spencer succeeding
Mr.. Gladstone as prime minister and says
that from the first the former has refused
the premiership. 1t ridicules the idea of a
Radical revolt against Lord Rosebery. The
Standard says that if GladstOne's resig
nation is not rendered within few days it
will probably be deferred until the queens
return from Florence. The Times, in
leading article, says it is improbable now
that Mr.. Gladstone's interview with tie
queen had any direct BEARING upon the
crisis in the cabinet
