meeting an hour or two week the

congressman Edward Sauerhering
and his private secretary, E. j. H en-
ming, were down from Mayville Mon
day and passed several hours in look
ing over the field regarding the
appointment of a Republican successor
to POSTMASTER Rohr. Although the
latter's commission dates from in
December, 1898, his four years service
does not expire until the 21st inst.
Mr. Sauerhering informed The REPUB-
LICAN representative that he would
probably not make recommendation
for the appointment until after his
return to Washington, about the
middle of January, and meanwhile the
candidates, Messrs. Gruetzmacher
and Strauss, as well as our citizens
generally, who are much interested in
the matter, viii be held in suspense.
The campaign, begun year ago. has
been a long one and unusually trying
to the candidates. During his stay
here the congressman was favored
with numerous calls from his political
friends and no doubt considerable ad-

Annapolis CadetShip.

Congressman Sauerhering has de-
cided to recommend John S. Abbott.
Of Madison, for the vacancy in the
National Naval academy at Annapolis,
which is to be filled by an appointee
from the Second Wisconsin congress-
iOnal district. Mr. Abbott is the son
of the late Lieutenant John S. Abbott,
formerly of the navy, and the grandson
OF Chauncey Abbott, who was one Of
the best known lawyers in the state
during his life. Young Abbott
father was an intimate friend OF
Senator Spooner.
1t has also been decided by Repre-
sentative Sauerhering to appoint
Byron Kabet, of this city. as alternate
to Abbott. He was among the appli-
cants for the appointment as principal.
In case the principal fails in the ex-
animation for entry into the school, the
alternate is called upon to try for the
cadetship. Mr.. Kabet is a son of the
late Leopold Kabnt and Was reared
among US. He is a graduate of the
Watertown high school and is ambi-
tious to further his education. He
has many friends who would be very
glad to see him succeed in his worthy
intentions.
