WASHINGTON CHAT


ESPECIAL TO TAE TELEGRAM
= WASHINGTON, d. &C., April 49,
Democrats in Washington were sur
prised to find out. that Hugh Ike
Shot, editor OF the Bluefeld Tele.
graph, had sent in his resignation as
postmaster at Bluetield and that con
sideration is bejag given to the So
lection of as u successor TO him. MIR.
Shots term of Office would not have
expired until January /, 1915, and
announcement has been made by
Postmaster General Burleson that i'll
will not be the policy OF the admin
istration to remove Republican post
masters before the expiration of their
terms. Mr.. Shot 6)ubtless won't
have continued to hold his office for
nearly two years had he not re-
signed. 1T is predicted here, that hisI
example will not be followed by
/ other West Virginia postmasters.
Senator Chiffon is considering the
filling of the IBluefeld postofflce 10,
succeed Mr.. Shot. Two names have
been suggested to him, one is that
OF Floyd G. Brown and the other
that of H. w. Reynolds. He is go
ing over the matter carefully with
a view to making selection very
soon and recommending some one 10
the president for appointment.
West Virginia office seekers, many
of whom are in Washington, were
cheered by the news which came
from the White House yesterday that
the president is considering minor
appointments and is soon expected 10
have long list of them ready to
send to the Senate. The patronage
question, SO far as West Virginia is
concerned, is becoming tatense. The
Office of Senator Chiffon is haunted
by throngs all day and it is difficult
for his secretaries to work. The
Democratic congressman have almost
as many visitors end, the hackers OF
candidates are here in large num-
bers. There are many others beside
the candidates themselves, who hope
the news from the White House that
the minor offices are to be filled rap
idly will prove true.
Milford Grimm has been here
seeking the endorsement of Con-
gresham Davis and Senator Chiffon
for postmaster at Shinnston. The
matter of naming postmasters is left
TO the representatives in Congress
and as the postoffice at ShInns.on
will not become vacant for about
three years. Mr.. Davis has declined
to make any accommodation at this
time in connection with the Office.
Increase in pensions have been OBJ
tained by Congressman Brown for
Herman Reeder, Failing Rocks. and
william F. Kniselll, Newburg; and
by Senator Chiffon for Richard
Woods, of Huntington
But one site for the proposed new
postofiice at New MartiasyilIe has
been offered to the United States, in
response to an invitation to submit
properties and prices. The lot sub.
mitted is at the northeast corner OF
Main and North streets. 1t IS 100
by los feet in size. and is offered for
$4,000, the amount authorized 70

the door. There was Tom, in his

his hat on the back of his head

f1r treating with the railroad and
one of these was the proposition to

railway, though, has lost two or
