Troubles of Their own.

Troubles Of Their Own.
There seems to be considerable
stir in Republican factional circles
here concerning rumor that Post
master Nickers has been asked to
resign, and that Congressman
Grosvenor has asked the Hooking
committee for the nomination of u
successor to Mr.. Vickers. It's said
that the committee has suggested
the name of Editor Mckay as the
successor. General Grosvenor was
seen at the depot here last evening
enroute from Columbus to Athens,
and intimated that he had received
a communication from the Postal
Department at Washington to the
effect that certain charges against
MIR. Vickers had been sustained In
that department and that Grosven-
or is requested as congressman to
recommend his successor. Mr..
Grosvenor said there was nothing
left for him to do hat to nominate
successor to Mr.. Vickers. 1t il
said that a committee of represen-
tative citizens will accompany Mr..
Nickers TO Athens today to prevail
upon him to extend staying hand
to the Government to hold Off the
matter in view of the postmaster
making amends for the charges
preferred, what ever they may be.
We think the whole matter lays
with Grosvenor and he has his way
Of bringing people to their knees
We do not think there is any in
tention of Mr.. Nickers or Dr.
Campbell or II. j. Woodworth or
DR.. Dennison, as is alledged, of be-
ing discharged, but Grosvenor
wants them to bear in mind that
he is the whole thing in this dis.
trict and that when he speaks they
must crawl on their fronts to him
The big congressman at the State
Convention had asked his district
to vote solidly for Douglas to fulfill
the obligation Grosvenor bore for
the Ross man for his having travel
ed the district over with Grosvenor
last year in his campaign. The de.
legates of the Eleventh District
met in caucus at the Convention
and pledged themselves at the re-
quest of Grosvenor to vote fol
Douglas, but when it came to the
convention, DR., Campbell, TroXell
DR.. Dennison and John Jones oi
Hooking flew the track and broke
Grosvenor's district and pledge by
voting for Nash. This made the
old General very warm, and es
pecially the break coming from the
very faction in Hooking that he
had favored, and the John White
crowd, of whom Grosvenor expect
ed very little stayed with him
The Congressman roared vengenct
against his uugrateful appointee'
in Hooking, and it looks a little a:
if the whole coterie of officers
would get the run, if deep supplIca
tions do not prevail. Dr. Dennisor
came out of the convention, it il
said, and crowed about how cute
they were in throwing the Dougla
agreement down, which ha
brought forth the unrelentiny
wrath Of Grosvenor upon the heat
of Dennison looking strongly to hi
dismissal as postmaster of Blach
ford.
1t seems indeed strange that tn
very faction in Hooking County t.
whom GrOsvenor has given all hi
appointments, would throw the oil,
General down in q State Conven
tion where he SO much desired t
show his undivided power. Gros
venor's entire district voted solidl,
as he requested, except the four il
Hooking of whom he expected tn
most. The old Congressman's ir
is up and he will make the fur fl
among the ungrateful. We will
chronicle the Grift of affairs later.
