The nomination last week Of Mr.. Fred.
Reade as postmaster at Newport News
was a great victory for the Bowden pco-
pie, following quickly as it did in the
wake OF the appointment Of Colonel
Harper as postmaster at Suffolk. 1t look
ed as If there was nothing left for the
Wise people but to give up the struggle.
Col. Lamb. however, who, as his enemies
say. "has as many lives as a cat" made an
appeal TO the Senate for breathing time.
IL is understood here. and has been here
tOfore so mentioned in these dispatches.
that he requested Senator Chandler, the
acting chairman Of the Senate Committee
on Postoiiices and Post-koads. 10 hold up
the nomination of Mr.. Reade until his
friends in the Second District could make
another, last final effort TO prevent the
appointment by an appeal to the Presi-
dent. II is said. and on good authority,
that Senator Shandler, 10 oblige Colonel
Lamb, agreed TO pigeon-hole the nomina-
tiOn of Mr.. Reade until the return of
Colonel Lamb to the city. or until the
latter part OF the present week. In the
meantime the Lamb people have made
and are still making strenuous efforts to
convince the President that the nOmina-
tion Of Mr.. Reade should be revoked.
Dr. Richard a. Wise has been here;
Captain John s. Wise. Of New York. has
been sent for. Both have seen the Prosi-
dent, and entered a lurid protest Other
influences have been brought TO bear; in
fact, everything that can be thought of
will be done to prevent Mr.. Reade from
qualifying as postmaster at Newport
News.
The Bowden people while sanguine. are
by no means idle. Mr.. Bowden was here
this morning. but left for Philadelphia
after q short conference with Colonel
Brady.
Mr.. Reade IS here. and in conference
with his friends in the Senate and the
Impression is that he will be confirmed.

Ing. who told him that he knew nothing
of the Republican factional fights in Nir-
ginia, and took no particular interest
in the nominations made 10y the Presi-
dent, except to see that none but good
men were appointed TO the Federaloflices
in the state.
Neither he nor Senator Daniel will offer
any opposition to Mr.. Reades coniirma-
ton, except for good cause.
