Dear Sir-While you are exercising
the probabilities as to the appointment
OF Mr.. g. w. Hulfish for postmaster for

probably conclude that he will net be

reason why Mr. Hul6sh should be given
the appointment. | do not know of
democrat that approves Of bis appoint.
ment, while on the other hand, / know
that The majority Of the republicans are
opposed to his appointment, as he has
never shown his colors to merit it. 1t
Is said that kissing goes by fsvors.
which may true iu many cases. but /
believe President Mckinley and Post
master General Smith to be too broad
minded to be Influenced by this
method. Very respectfully,
