Appointment of TreIoar.

Special Dispatch to the Globe Democrat.
WASHINGTON, D.. c., Jan. 24.-The
appointment of * Congressman Ire
loar to be Postmaster at Mexico, Mo-,
was the act of the President. 1t will
be remembered that Mr.. Treloar was,
a candidate for Fourth Assistant POST
master General. The President found
it impossible to give that position to
Missouri, but when the time came to
make a change in the Post Office at
Mexico he remembered Mr.. Treloar
and appointed him, although he had
made no application for the place. A
question has been raised at Mexico
about the papers of j. B. Botkin, who
was a candidate. W. T.. Morsey, of
Warrenton, the chairman of theRepub-
lican committee for the Ninth Con-
g%ressional District, went to the Post
Office to-day and found that MI. Bot
kin's application and endorsement
had been properly presented by Mr..
Treloar. 1t is probable that If the
President had not determined to make
the personal appointment, Mr.. Botkin
would have been successful. As It
was the papers or file were not taken
into consideration.
