II will be seen by the following article, from
the Albany Argus, that the charge made by the
Clay Wings against the present Postmaster at
Cooperstown, was false:
THE COOPERSTOWN POSTMASTER.
In another column we publish communication on
this subject from reliable source ia Otsego county
The removal of Mr. Barber, very bitter and NOISY
LAY partisan, and the appointment of Mr.. DAVIS
Democrat, excited the utmost Ire OF the Federal
Wings and they indulge not only in fierce denuncla-
ions OF Mr. Tyler, but In gross misrepresentation
OF Mr.. Davis The removal of seventeen hundred
Democratic Posmasters in thirty days, by Mr. Gran
ger, and the avowed intention, If he had not teen
himself compelled to retire. OF ejecting thousand
moie is matter Of course, and 80 worthy of common
dation 10 be the subject Of boast the floor of
the National Legislature. But single deviation
from the Federal rule OF removal is denounced IN
tolerabie prescription and tyranny--publlc meetings
are called-the Wing newspapers TEEN with re-
proaches and denunciatons, and scarcely less than
Impeachment of the Executive, and implement of the
incumbent, is considered adequate punishment of
offence so rank in the nostri!s OF Federalism.
Mr.. Davis, in addition 10 the mpuation OF being
Democrat, is charged with suspending an ehgy of
General Harrison from his building in CooperSiown,
during the canvass of 1910. The partisans who In
this city paraded efigy of Mr.. Tyler, when he
dared to the Bank bill are shocked at the thought
of such an exhibition in any other quarter. But they
nlsstate the facts. This charge We understand, was
prior his appointment, and promptly met and
refuted Ihe facts learn, are that Barber
then occupied the second story of Davss building as
printing Office, and suspended from his windows an
effigy of Mr. Van Buren,, a log cabin, and various
pacards, insulting In the extreme TO the Democracy
upon seeing which several boys went into the third
story of the building, and suspended the efiiy com
planned of, from a window Immediately over those
cup,ed for tins purpose by Barber and his friends
As soon Mr.. Davis's attention called to the
fact, he directed ii TO be taken down Ii put up
| without his know ledge, and ordered down the
| moment he was informed Of it, And yet The gentle
men of the "Cay Club" sought to hold him respon-
sibe for the before his appointment and seek
to fasten the odum of it, through him, upon Mr.. Ty-
ler and upon the able and attentive Democratic Rep
resentative from the 'Otsego district.
Mr.. Davis is esteemed intelligent and honest
citizen and has been uniform and consistent
Democrat but very far fIom being the "brawhng
politician" that Barber is known to be. The latter
appointed Postmaster through influence in this
city, against the expressed wishes of the intelligent
and respectable portion ofthe Wings of Cooperstown,
that place only shoI time when he obtained his APP
pointment. He commenced his career there as the
editor of the "Oisego Republican !" and since the
veto of Il first Bank bill by the President has been
open in his assaults upon Mr.. Tyler, INDUCING in
language towards the Chief Magistrate grossly unbe-
| coming and offensive.
The gentlemen of the "Cay Clubs welcome
| to all the capital they gather from this removal
| and appointment meanwhile, we shall not regret to
chronicle many such
