II the report that John J. HARRIS
has been appointed postmaster at Rock
land is true, and there is TO reason to
doubt It, the potency of Colonel Henry
A. Dupont at Washington has been
demonstrated once more. and Congress
msn HoHecke- has received another
slap in the face frcm tho MaKln.oy
administration. Congressman Hof-
iecker recommended Representative
Ewing's brother for the pace. and the
Union Republicans were jubi.ant when
they learned that he would be apo n.-
ed so near The oo.onel's own. home. Bit
their JOY was short-lived. for the Regu-
ar Republicans made it a point to up-
set their cup Of happiness by turning
down Ewing and having Harris ap-
pointed. Il begins to look more ant

that Colonel Dupont IS detailed b,
