pointment of e. d. Helen editor of the.
Tribune. to be postmaster of Webs ter
City. This appointment Was highly of
fensiye TO the Chase faction and since
| 1T was made that faction has usually
been able to defeat the faction which
secured the appointment. Opinions
vary as to the result of the pending
contest. It IS admitted on all sides to
| be an exceedingly cSose one. Every foot
| Of ground is being worked Senator
