Mr. Stone. they say, has introduced 33 bills. The only ones ever heard of by the public or the president so har as we can learn, was one or two pension claim bills that Mr. Cleve- land put his veto on, as coming under his objections of that class of bills. The Hon. W. J. Stone fell kerflat on the pavement,and the greatest act ot his official career seems to have been to vote to override the presi- dent’s veto of the Des Moines bill.

There is every probability that many changes will be made in postal clerks, which, it so, will prove lucra- tive positions tor a number of youths in this section, There are numerous signs that the department will take some steps inthat direction. In that case every congressman will have virtual control of the appointment of several of them.—Democrat. Is there, can there be any doubt as to the coming from Mr. Stone’s political manager in this county? ‘There is to be many changes in lucrat sitions for youths this and the Democrat w: it torcibly upon the minds of these aspiring youths that Hon. W. J- Stone has the control of them. We had heard it said that Mr. Wade Promised several young gentlemen meaning of the above, o ye po section,”’ to secure them a postal clerkship on the Emporia railroad to assist Mr. Ewing, (Mr. Ewing says he needs no assistant, and he does not believe any will be appointed) but we hardly thought that even Waae, with all his brazen effrontry, would dare to make such an open and netarious bid tor Stone supporters. Lt issaid that four applicants for this imaginary position hold promises from Stone, | and have applications in blank ready to fill up and send on as soon as the time comes for the appointment to be made.
