70 announce a tact which no longer be withheld
from the Fable. For some time past we have accused
the wings Of heing nmicaI towards foreigners,
'urailZed citizens too often brought up charge
against the Wings, but sir, what we say, when il
is we'll known fact, that some of leading called
drew up & signed remonstrance against
the appointment of Mr. Ernest Krakau, for Post Master
in this town Alas it is too true, and the objection 10
him is that he is foreigner !! These men have met
The Germans on all suitable occasions, with honicd
friendship on their lips but what has been their conduct
One OF the leading men & one who has for long time
held ollce by the vote of naturalized citizens, draws
up remonstrancc that Mr. Krakau is foreigner and
prefers the office to be conferred upon who born
here, or words to that effect. An other takes it
round for signatures and says, his objection to krCkGu

wish, MIR. Editor, your oppnion on these matters
and II YOU Will rcccve this shall appear again In the
mean time believe me, although american born am
