sort of clash between the influence of

Hosler, that the plum was his.
Later a dispatch came from Delegate
Jordan saying Mr.. Hosicr had been
appointed at 10 a. M, and the decision

like former Postmaster T.. i. Britt in
whose interest Delegate Jordan and
County Treasurer Ellis went to Rich
nond this morning j seems Mr. Hos
Ter was named before Mr.. Jordan got
there.
Delegate Jordan and Treasurer Ellis
returned tonight from Richmond. Mr.
Jordan regarded the appointment OF
= Mr. Hosier as n snap Judgment, and
s says Senator Stands should have con-
suited him regarding Nansemond be-
