President goes to oyster Bay.
The vacancy caused by the removal
of Postmaster O'Donnell, for shortage
in his accounts, brought into the race

pays something over $4,000 per annum.
Referee Johnson, Judson Lyons and

state finally concentrated their forces
on Livermore, and he is slated for the
place.
In behalf of O'Donnell, it Is said
that the shortage in his accounts was
not due to any dishonesty on his part,
but that some of his subordinates vio-
lated the confidence reposed in them,
which resulted in a shortage in his
accounts. TIE same was made good to
