A very interesting situation exists in

circles In the last campaign there were
two factions inside the party. Collector
Of Customs Bethel led the one that ao-
sorbed ali the honors Of the convention
aud OF the campaign, and Postmaster
Wray Z Knight the one which was
crowded into the background. Ia the
last few days the custcdianship OF the
federal building was transferred from
the collector to the postmaster, and men
who fought him hardest in the party

control. When asked. he said he had
decided upon no changes in the force
under him.
Gov. TYLER is Of the opinion that the
cost attending the extra session, con
ssitutional convention and spsoial cleo
tions will be considerable. He places
the extra session at $4,000. special
election at $l5, 900 and the convention,
