Mr.. K1mBERLY's APPOINTMENT
End of a Fight That Attracted Muel

End Of Fight That Attracted Much
Attention Here.
The Washington correspondent Of the
Richmond Times sends the following
story concerning an appointment. noted
in yesterdays Daily Press:
The only Virginia appointments to-
day were two that had not been expect
ed-John r. Kimberly for postmaster
at Fortress Monroe, and George w.
Carter for postmaster at Smfthfield.
The LATTER appointment waks due, but
had not been pushed. The other was
not looked for before next month, If,
indeed. before next December. MFR.
George Booker. the Democratic incum-
! bent of the office; had made quite a
fight to hold the office to the end of
his four years tern, which would be
about Christmas. and it was understood
that the Postmaster General, who was
personally interested in Mr.. Kimberly
had made up his mind not to depart
from the usual rule. Booker admitted
to the Postmaster General recently that
he did not give the office his persona
attention, but as his sister. Mrs. Jones
did. and as she was conducting the
service most acceptably, and as the Of
f1eers of the fort were particular friends
OF her, it was thought that the depart
ment would be satisfied TO allow things
| to continue as they were. 50

and said all along that he would be
perfectly content to wait until next de-
cembsr II he were sure that Mrs. Jones
or some other person would not step In
and snatch the plum before it was ripe.
1t is thought that MIR. Bowden. while
he endorsed Mr.. Kimberly. when it be
came known that the PostmasterlGen-
erai wanted to give the place to his
friend. would have selected a different
candidate. MIR. Kimberly lis a polished
and highly esteemed gentleman, and
now that the appointment is made he
should be generally congratulated. He
