POSTOFFLCE CONTEST.
There is Lively Fight on at South
Superior for the
Plum.

West Superior, Wis. Dec. 30.-[Spe-
cial IA most complete surprise to the
politicians of this city has developed in
the South Superior postoffice situation:
Their surprise has changed to a sort OF
Eewilderment over the campaign made
for the Office by an aspirant who entered
the field at the last moment, Miss Matte
Goodman who succeeded in having the
papers appointing John Isaacson held up
after they had been sent to the President
for his signature.
The South Superior postotfice is one OF
the plums Of Northern Wisconsin on
which the politicians have been looking
for four years with longing eyes. just
before he went out of Office. President
Harrison reappointed +. c. Cerveny, a
Republican, and he has held ON for four
years, Notwithstanding the efforts to dis
lodge him.
Miss Goodman is an extremely popular
young woman of p years, who has been
assistant postmaster under the Repub-
lican regime She sent in a petition
signed by all of the business interests
of South Superior and has strong en-
dorsement. 1t was SO strong that the
President delayed the appointment OF
Isaacson, but it is expected that next
week when Cerveny's term expires, the
novel campaign Of the young woman VIII
be decided
