UP TO MR.. PRITCHARD.
Appointment of a Postmaster at
Wilson Expected to Open a
Fight Between the Lily
Whites and the
Negros.

Washington, Nov. 12.-The cru
cial moment has arrived for Senator
Pritchard to test the extent of his
influence at the White House. The
abandonment of we'll defined policy
Or measuring of lances with Booker
Washington and the negro influence
that has held sway with the presi-
dent for the past three weeks con-
fronts the Senator. 1t is up to him
to say which horn of the dilemma
he will seize.
More than a year ago Senator
Pritchard announced that he would
remove all negro postmasters in
North Carolina. He has lived up to
his promise and there remains today
but one colored postmaster in the
State. Samuel III. Wick, a colored
man, still holds the postoffice at Will
son, and it is the best plum that was
awarded to the colored race during
the fusion administration. Vick's

PritGhard made it known that a
white man would get the place. A
dozen, mostly Democrats, entered the
race for the position, which pays $2,-
500 per annum. It was badly COM
plicated situation, and to settle it
Senator Pritchard decided to name
that applicant who should be most
acceptable to the business interests
of the town.
An appointment will shortly be
made and it was learned to-day that
prominent negroes, not only of
North Carolina, but Of other States
as well, will make q determined
fight for Vicl's retention in office.
Moreover, it is said that Booker
Washington's aid will be invoked in
behalf of Wick and that every in
fuence will be brought to bear i'll
behalf of the colored postmaster's
cause.
