Times, has at last been made to under
stand where he rs at in the matter OF
South Dakota postoiiice appointments of
posttnasters. The senator has been taxi
ing credit for the first blood in the ap-
pointment of Seth Bullock for marshal,
and the president seems willing to give
him full credit for he has instructed
Postmaster General Cortelyou to ignore
the recommendations of Mr. Gamble
and follow those of Martin and Burse.
Mr.. Gamble will probably realize the
error of setting himself up in opposition
to the other members of the delegation.
There is no reason why harmony should
not have continued to rule. Mr.. Mar
tin has legal and moral right to be-
come a candidate for the senate.

has ever known, who never lost patient
