SENATOR BRUCE SCORES
AN IMPORTA VICTORY.

For some time big contest has
been waged between the Hill and
Lynch faction for the appointment
of postmaster at Jackson,
Miss, the home Office of National
Committeeman Hill.
Last Wednesday Senator Bruce,
in company with his old friend and
staunch supporter, Hon. Henry
Kernaghan, called upon the Presi-
dent and requested the appiont
ment of the latter to the Office, who
informed the senator that his friend
should have the appointment.
Saturday Col. Kernaghan was nom
mated for the office.
This is one of the best paying
post-offices in the Safe. The
promptness with which the Presi-
dent acted is high compliment to
Mr.. Bruce, this being the first and
only request he has made of him
for any one in the State since his
Inauguration.
Keep an eye on the Senator and
his fine Italian hand. Under a
different leadership for the past
twenty years, the Colonel, under ev
cry former republican administra-
ton, always was given the biggest
and best paying office in the State
but then there is vast difference
in leadership, you know.
Things lave changed.
We congratulate the Col. upon
his splendid leadership and his new
Office.

VIRGINIA..

With Senator Daniel and Gov.
O'Ferre.l at swords point, it would
seem that the managers of the re-
publican party might open way to
secure something like success this
fall. The main trouble seems to be
that the republicans who are for
the most part colored are led by
too many would-be bosses If
way could be devised by which
to officially decapitate the surplus,
there would be a tolerable show of
success. The time has come when
it should be made Improbable for
designing white politicians to ex-
plot in colored votes, for their own
selfish ends.

HILL FAILED.

National Committeeman Hill,
after waiting for seven months in
this city, and dealing out offices in
Mississippi to white meu, not hav-
ing named single colored man
was surprised last Saturday when
he called upon the President, who
informed him that he would not
appoint him Internal Revenue Col
lector for Mississippi and Louisi-
ana, the biggest Office in the State
and which the Colonel had selected
for his, but had decided to give
him Register of the Land Office at
Jackson. Mississippi.
Of the seven big offices out
side of the post Offices, this one is
the smallest in the South within
the gift of the President, the salary
being but $500 and fees. Since
nearly all the lands have been is-
posed of in that State it is doubtful
if the fees will bring It up to ST.
500, and yet the great leader must
take this or nothing.
"What a fall, my countrymen!"
