Mr. Lilley's visit to the Weaver residence precipitated one of the bitterest struggles for the office of | postmaster that this borough has ever witnessed.- E J.

The announcement was | followed by a protest and the) protestants named J. Henry Price; the prescat deputy postmaster. Then the fight waged fast and | furious. Petitions were circulated, | public meetings were held, com: mittees visited the seat of govern. ment at Washington, and for three weeks there was something doing every minute. Then the situation took a turn. The P.ic: people had succeeded in blocking the ap- pointment of Connelly and thus the matter rested until the an- nouncement of yesterday convey ing the intelligence that Mr. Bon | foey had been named for the coveted plum So far as Mr. Bonfoey is cons | cerned there is no complaint and it Cater rt tte tbe ee = 13¢ 3c 13 13 13 13 13¢ 13 Stores also at Established 1860. +4444 i PdPdd Bridge Work as anata dis ll) Noted Swede, Qodfrey Chealander, the author of | purchased a fice cracker about six : m—— inches long and succeeded in Mr. and Mrs. George Scott and | geaching it to the coat tail of the Mrs. MB Hardenburg went to|ictim of the joke who spends con- New York this moraing | siderable time in the store after — aly: Zimmer. of Newatk Valley |" 'H he lighted the fuse and awaited developments. ha: d int i De- s ‘moved into - Josephine De | The object of the joke was en- Laney's house on Fulton street.

Men who have heretofore felt inclined to overlook | his monumental blunders in con- | nection with the case, are today! heaping upon his head unstinted condemnation. They say that he! has simply again demonstrated | himself a political trickster, and! that he has not only gagged the] citizens of Sayre but that he has wantonly thrown down the man whom he had promised to stand by | and make postmaster of Sayre even at the expense of his seat in the halls of congress They say that all along Mr. Lilley has professed to be Con- nelley’s friend, and to desert him at the eleventh hour, without cven so much as giving him notice of his intentions, is an outrage which will not be tolerated From the talk which has been heard tody it is evident that the friends of both Mr. Price and Mr. Connelley have been treated unfairly, and without consideration. Itis claimed that Lilley should have given the friends of the two applicants notice that he intended to appoint another man, and this would at least have ufford=d an opportunity to protest. Lilley, however, did not do even this, but with his usual disrespect of the peoples’ wishes, announces that he has made a recommendation. As heretofore stated there is no feeling against Mr. Bonloey but so far as Mr Lilley is concerned that gentleman has forf=ited the friead- ship of the small following that | he had in Sayre.
