CAUSES STIR
Selection by Senator Sauls
bury Adds to Democratic
Factional Troubles
MAY TRY TO GRAB THE
OFFICE OF ASSISTANT
-
Announcement by Senator Sauls*
bury -that he had picked James J.
English for postmaster of Wflming
ton to succeed M. Howard Jester nas
caused all kinds of a stir among
friends of aspirants to the office who
were turned down, and the eclo of
the trouble In the Democratic party
é . . . . ... . . . .
that it has caused will be heard In
future campaigns. Mr. English was
selected front a field of five who b 4
been actively mentioned for the place
including Thomas N. Slayton. Peter
J. Ford, Dr. Thomas O. Cooper and
Martin P. Parry.
That Mr, English was to be cho
sen had been persistently reported,
although it was said that up to Sat
urday last Mr. Stayton had the Inside
track. Mr. English's friends made
such a strong appeal at the hear
ing given by Senator Saulsbury in
behalf of the various candidates that,
It was said. It practically clinched
the appointment for English. That
be would be appointed was predicted
in THE EVENING JOURNAL several
days ago.
Democrats were nonplussed as to
why Senator Saulsbury delayed in
making public his choice for the Wil
mington postoffice. They figured out
that he practically had made up his
mind sometime ago. and could not
understand why the agitation and
stirring up of factional feeling was
permitted to go on, as friends of the
various candidates kept urging theli
claims. There was « feeling that
no matter who should be selected, the
appointment was to be followed by
trouble and would make more sore
épris. The defeat of Senator Monag
han
. „ . for Governor In the last campaign
and the fact that many friends 0 f
Monaghan voted the Republlrn ticket
_ 1 he recent city election to
trhlr dissatisfaction, entered Into the
controversy over the pnsmaslershlp^
ann the three have combined to rip
the Democratic party so badly tha'Ji^'
w,l. be a long time before Its
1« passed. /
Mr. English, the new postnnutier,
said today that he would not make
any plans for assuming the office until
he receives his commission The term
of Postmaster Jester, who has mad. a
very capable official, will expire on
J«"" 28.
Mr. Eng'.lah said today that he would
probably call on Mr Jester on Monday
to talk over tbe dutlca of the office and
obtain tbe benefit <f Mr. Jestei's ex*
pe.ience. Mr. Jotter today said he,
would be glad to A anything he could
to asBiothle eiupcegsor in familiarizing
himself wmi'Ctlw. of the office.

Hickman, who has been one of the
most efficient officials who ever held
the Office It was freely said that In
the event of Mr, English's appoint
men! he would If possible name Re
preventative Timothy J Mooney as
assistant postmaster. The Civil Ser
vice rules, however, interfere with a
move of this kind and in consequence
there is considerable conjecturing.
I nder an executive order, Issued
bv President Taft, all ass.stant post
masters tn the United States were
placed under Civil Service, and It 's

move Mr Hickman would be to prefer
chargee against him Theae would
have to be corroborated before the

that no ground for chargea could be
found against him. The only other
way to remove Mi. Hickman would
