dent to-day to present his side of the An
derson postofhce controversy. Senator
Fairbanks has been asked for his views in
the case. but has refused TO mix in. holding
that it is one of those little infelicities he
has no call 10 express opinion about. He
thinks he has business enough in fixing UP
the misunderstanding in Democratic districts
without invading the territory of Repub-
lican congressman. He is. therefore, enact
ing the role of an impartial observer of the
Anderson unpleasantness.
