COLONEL BOWDEN'S DENIAL.
Colonel George L. i3owden declares
that he has not inte1gered in the selcc-
ton of a postoffice site at Portsmouth.
lie has no intcntion or desire to inter
fere. and being a government officer, he
has no right to interfere. Hence the
charge that Charles I. Bland has is not
only unjust but due TO some misconeep-
tion. Colonel Bowden said to those WHO
spoke to him about the selection of
site that an accessible place should be
chosen, and that Postmaster Butts
opinion should be asked, as he is the
representative Of the government in
Portsmouth. Further than this Colonel
Bowden says he has had nothing TO do
with the selection of a site. He hopes,
however that the site selected will be
one that will be advantageous TO the
government and satisfactory to the citi-
zens of Portsmouth.
