COL r F. CAMPBELL. New POstmas

Campbell was a very poor stroke Oh
! policy on his psrt He made strong
! fight for the cnllectorship and fail ID.
He should have stopped there, as was
due his friends i: Ell i'aso who had
supportei him for the collectorship.
Mr.. Campoell supported Major Nc
Glennon for the postoffice, and the
bell for the co'lectorship When Mr..
Campbell learns that he canaot get
the relationship he turns against his
friend and takes the postoffice away
from him. Then Campbell gives
the poor excuse for his taking the
office that he could not lard Major
McGlennoo. His excuse takes differ
ent turn from what the Telegraph
expected 1t was thought that it
would be that he accepted The Office to
prevent Smith from getting it. Per-
haps he will use both excuses. Bat
both are poor excuses and canpOt ex
cuse his violation of allegiance to his
friends. It is true that Major Nc
Glennon had al exc i eut endorse
ment from Ell Paso besides six state
committeeman, including John Grant
and it does seem that Mr.. Campbell
could have turned the Office over to
him by not taking it himself. This is
the way it looks to an outsider. John
Bruck had as fine endorsements "a
were ever prevented in Washington for
any Office, and had it not been for com
promises the Office would have gone to
him for a certainty. But when things
shaped themselves in such manner
that Campbell had TO be appeased,
Campbell could either have taken TIL
Office or passed it over to whomsOever
be pleased. But he pleased to take it
himself and forsake his friends. BY
doing this he has alienated all of his
warmest friends and supporters, and
TODAY he stands without a particle Of
political support in this city, outside of
small contingent of democrats, who
if the truth were known feel double IS
the same as Campbell's former repub-
lican friends. but are too polite to eX-
press themselves. Thus by one small
at has Campbell urdone himself, and
the Telegraph predicts that never
again will be ho'd even as important
an Office as the Ell Paso postoffice. This
position will prove the zenith of his
political preferment.-

Nj. Bruck said that Mr.. Smith did

Will Wait and See.

Mr.. Kitchens voices the Campbell
wing of the local republican party in
saying that they will wait until the
new postmaster gets back and the
situation is more thoroughly under
stood ere any action is taken by them.
Mr.. Kitchens says frankly that he does
not understand the situation further
than that the app in ments must be in
the nature of a compromise. But just
how or why that compromise was made
is yet to be explained. Mr.. Kitchens
does not believe that the new coliec-
tor will have that extent of power
that some would credit him with, and
that he can not turn down whomsoever
he would like. If the new order of
things is not satisfactory to the Camp
bell party, tier is likelihood of the
political war d snce co tiuuing. Mr..
Kitchens continues however, in usual
unperturbed aud placid condition of
mind, and is prone to view the future,
politically or otherwise, with even
temperament It is cold day when
"Kitch" gets excited.
