Representative Burton discusses political appointments in Cleveland, Ohio, including the re-appointment of Charles C. Dewstoe as postmaster, and appointments of Edwin A. Batt as Appraiser of Merchandise and Frank M. Chandler, United States Marshal, Northern District of Ohio. Senator Foraker had seemed favorable to the appointments but has since withdrawn his approval. Burton hopes a settlement can be negotiated on these appointments soon.
