THE ENDORSEMENT OF STATE AND
COUNTY LEADERS DON'T GO.

IS the appointment OF solomon Uhl 70
be postmaster al this pisce President Cleve-
land knocked the ecappsE-fiveied bottom out
Of both tie Democratic factions in this ceun-
". and harmony Is now 50 thick that it can
Be spread with a spsde.
By no method OF rsasoui,s can Mr. Uhl
te clsssel IS daFk horse he was one
Of The irst aspiranss for The post Office in the
fisld, and his hair IS red.
Mr. Uhl won the appointment by his own
Efforts and he is ret iads5.ei to the local Or
State buses for i. He's indebted, however,
to lis ole soldier comrades who stood loyal
ly behind him and asked that ae Be named
for the position. He vas tie only soldier
candidate
So hras our memory recalls dT. Uhl is
one Of the fey ez-Uaioa soldiers recognized
hy Mr. Cereiaud by appointment 10 oiiice.
/. should rot ba inferred that the nomina-
lion was ua8s by lie President as the best
way cut OF an embarrassing dileuima.
So far as information IS available Is to
What brought a5ont the nomination, the
name OF Mr. Uhl h saii 20 have been the
cuiy cae that vas considered by tie sppoint-
Ing power. The fact that &c had served as
an election olHc-r while in tie srmy-hav-
ing been de .esa,ed TO perform that duty BY
tle Dsmoefa-ic State Commitlee-aas suf
a,ient evidence Of his payty loyalty 10 salts
iy ,he President, an3 The farther fact that
bis appointment was asked by several hun
dred cl the nsmhsr5 o. his regiment was
perhaps sufficient indurement fsT the Presi-
ideut b select him without c5nsiisring The
names Of the other applicants. Democratic
OK soldiers are not very agmerous in Penn
sylsania and tie la.l election opened Mr.
Cleyeland's eyes 10 the lo. they are growing
decidedly lees.
