LOOK FOR NAMING OF POSTMASTER Lincoln Politicians Expect Sucoessor | to Judge Tibbets Will Be Appointed Soon, BONDING COMPANY HAS BSAY (From a Statf Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Sept. 2. —(Special.)—Inter- esting ‘developments are expected within the mext few days in the Lincoln post- office situation. The death of Judge Tid- bets haw operated again to stir up a sit- uation which has been delicate among the democrats of this section for some + months, Even before the funeral of Judge Tib- Lets yesterday, two prominent Bryan democrats were boasting to friends that they would be the next postmastr of Lincoln, W. B, Haster, former ocounty vhairman, and a strong Bryan follower, was generally regarded &s the most likely cholce of tie Bryans for the job, although It is possible Sam Whiting, who is also accounted a Bryan man and mustered some Bryan support in the orig- inal fight for the place, may bs the cholce. Whiting is head of the Nebraska Masons and has been an active worker for years. Both Hester and Whiting paid calls on Brother Charley bright and sarly Saturday morning and each claimed to have received most satisfying assur- | ance that he was the chosen one, Begin to Ask Questions. Meanwhile the anti-Bryan men are wondering how long the administration is going to allow the Bryans personally to supefvise the distribution of the patronage at the Lincoln office, S8ome of the anti-Bryan men have expressed the opinion that the president has fulfilled his duty to the Bryan wing by allowing on conditions in this state with regard to W, J. Bryan's standing in the mm%«.-m east has gonerslly belleved. .
