Senator McLaurin and Representative
Elliott of South Carolina today introduced
Albert Mowry to the President Mr.
Mowry is the postmaster at Charleston
| and has held the Office twelve consecutive
years. He was first appointed by President
! Cleveland. President Harrison was I'M
aele TO decide between the lighting repuo-
| licans when he came in, and Mr. Mowry
| was allowed to remain. He was again
nominated by Mr.. Cleveland, and is now a
candidate for the position for a fourth
term Mr.. Mowry is democrat but in
the last campaign is said to have opposed
| Bryan. 1t is not known whether Presi-
dent Mckinley will find a republican suit
| allie for the office, but 1t is doubtful if
| Mr.. Mowry will be renominated
| The President will probably sign the
Newberry College bill, over which there
| has been a hitch. President Cromer of
the college had conference with the
| President today, and is thought to have
| convinced the President that the college
| itself will get the benefit of the appropria-
| ton.

| Baltimore conference; another with the pur.
| food congress and another with the mem
bers of the Philadelphia produce ex-
