OUR NEW POgTMAWKK.

William F. Williams Appointed by the Piwoldeat on Saturday. President Roosevelt on Saturday appointed Wil lam F. William* postmaster of this olty to suoosad the late Dr. Waltor 8. Learning, who died Is April of last year. The appointment was no surprise to those who understood the deaire* of Coogiwaa man Gardner, who mads up his mind last November to choose Mr. Williams, but who delayed making the appointment for reason* beat known to himself, until last Saturday. The application was endorsed by ez-Beualor Robert K. Hand. Congrca*man Henry C. Loudenalager. formerly of this district, and Mayor Stoy. of Atlantic Olty. In this appointment SenatorCrsase and Assemblyman Hildreth were entirely Ignored by Congressman Gardner. This la the same course as taken by the Congressman in the appointment of Postma* ter Kieischbauer. who was appointed at Cold Spring last November, when Irvin H Eldredge resigned Heretofore the postmasters In the county have been selected upon the recommendation of the atate senator, but Congressman Gardner being a new representative for this county, haa decided that he will not consnlt the regular representatives of the people. Mr. William is s son of the 1st* Enos A Williams who was a boyhood friend of Congressman Gardner; wp* formerly member of the Democratic party and ba* never been regarded as a Republican He supported Lemuel E. Mflier, Dem., for atate senator four years ago, and last autumn be managed, with Janie# K. Taylor, the election matters in thisscity for Edward U. Rice, the Democratic candidate for senator He is about thirty years of age. Personally, we congratulate him upon his appointment and hope he will make a postmaster who will serve the public satisfactorily.
