MiDDLGTOwN. April 5.-There has
never been, in the history Of this town,
a hotter fight for the postmastership than
that which Is now being wRged by w. H.

II Moore and Thomas Cochran. It is be
lieved that the fight is virtually between
Moore and Cochran, although Reynolds s
friends think that he has an excellent
chance for the place
Moore and johnson came out early and
by SO doing, secured a strong endorse
ment. The men who are working for
the other asplrsnts say that the appoint
ment OF either man would have a bad
effect upon the politics of the hundred,
as neither Moore nor Johnson have been
hustliug workers.
The Cochran men c1ncode that Rey.

only for three or four years. while Coch.

CHARLESTON, April 5-The municipal

The proclamation created something OF
a sensation, but was not unexpected in Off.
