MORE Posi- oFFIcE PoLIrIcs.

MORE POST OFFICE POLITICS.
When Mrs. William -. LOiiand was
appointed postmaster at Lewes, it was
/ thought by many Democrats that the
| situation would clear without any furth-
/ er. complications, but recently results are
/ following, which are making the Demo-
Gratis think and wonder just where they
stand. one of the contestants for the
office was James Prettyman, who has
/ been an active worker for the Salisbury
faction, and recently he has been named
as the Chief Assistant Postmaster for
this same postofiice, under Mrs. Lofland.
This has set the followers Of Charles v
Jones, the other applicant for the job, on
edge, and reOpened the whole muddle
again. The appointment of Prettyman
to the Assistant POstmastership has pac-
flied the followers Of that faction but
the question is being asked, What kind
Of a job viii he given Charley" Jones?
Many are inclined to think that an effort
will be made to land him a good job at
Washington, or place him on the county
ticket for one Of the court house jobs.
Jones does not have to beg for a Job.
He is a business man. 1t is understood
that Prettyman has disposed of his in
terest in the Prettyman and Pride Fish
Company to his father. Samuel Pretty
