appears the ppst Office contro-
versyat Wnosihire has not been
AS amics.b,y settled as generally
supposed The following is
;ilppe from the w nlbine Chron-
lcle Of this " eh's issue:
"a reluonstrance against the
confirmation of Mr. VAnScoy as
post master at this office has been
forwarded to Washington which
was signed by about fifty of our
citizens. We lad supposed the
matter Was settled with his recon-
mendatioubS Congressman Smith,
but this 10. ks as though the fight
was still on. Personally, We have
not regarded it as any of our fight,
nor that any act of those citizens
who were not republicans would
be of any force or effect in the
matter. We believe that any Of
the Candidates would give good
service, and white we deplore
family row We must consider the
present mix up as belonging to
the republicans Of Woodbine and
trust that when they get it settled
it will result in tie best possible
service TO the public at this Office"
