Fight Over a POStOffice.

At North East, an interesting fight is
now on over the position of Postmaster
of the town. The appointment is a presi-
dental one, and the two factions of the
Republican party in the district have
taken sides, and each has put up can
didatc and circulated petitions which
have been signed by almost every one in
the district. The regular republicans
have as their candidate the present post
master, Harry West, while the younger
voters of the district are working for
the appointment of Edward Davis.
