WHAT Mr.. cAppEIIAR sAYs.


Mr.. Cappellar was found at his desk I'm
the Auditors office, disposiug of busi-
ness in his prompt, rapid, energetic maR-
ner, but as usual ready for kind word
or To impart any needed informant on. A
shadow of annoyance fitted across his
usually bright and cheerful countenance
at the mention of an ''lnteryiew,o but he
in a moment replied in his usual frank,
straightforward manner:
swell, don't know much about the
matter. A great many OF my friends
have come to, me. recently, telling me
that Mr.. Wahle would likely be removed,
and asking me to apply for the Office.
have good many German friends, hav--
ing some German blood ia my veins, and
many of them have especially urged me
to take hold of the matter. / have inva-
riably replied that l did not wish to
make fight for it, and that l thought
was doing sufficient in my work here. To
the question, whether / would accept
the position If offered me, l-having had
nearly ten years experience as Post
master-have replied that / would be
very ungrateful not to do SO, and now

ance should the position offer. under
stand that some prominent Republicans
are taking considerable interest in push
ing the affair, but am giving the matter
but little attention."
From present probabilities, cleaned
from other sources, it would appear that
If any change is made Mr.. Cappellar will
receive the appointment. No man IN
Hamilton county has been more efficient
in the prevention of fraud in the matter
of tax paying and county affairs in gen.
eral than Mr.. Cappellar, and no ore
did more for the success Of. tile Republi-
cans during the recent campaign. His
fitness for the position is beyond ques.
tion.
WHAT POSTMASTER WAHLE SAYS.
The STAR representative who called
upon Mr.. Wahle this morning was po.
litely received by him and invited into
his private office. Mr.. Wahle's state
ment was very brief, and of a conserva.
tive nature. He stated that the little
notice in a morning contemporary was
the first intimation he had of any pro-
posed removal from his office, although
at different times persons VINO have be-
come offended at him on account Of his
refusal to make appointments desired by
them, had given rise to just such ru-
mors.
Mr.. Wahle's relations with his supe-
rior officers, as far as he has any knowl-
edge, have always been not only OF a
friendly nature, but their reports as to
his duties as Postmaster of the fifth office
in size in the United States, have been
very iattering. Where this runior origi.
mated, or by whom circulated, he has no
positive knowledge, any more than that
the friends of Mr.. Daniel Webber, who
was an applicant for the position at the
same time he (Mr. WahIe) was
proposed, have not given HIM the
encouragement they should, but
certain few Of them have indicated
towards him spirit of envy. Officially,
| he has received not even rumor as to q
contemplated change, and can only base
an opinion as to the why and wherefore
OF the story circulated. He feels conf
dent that he has performed his duties
satisfactorily to The Government, and
has always endeavored to attend TO them
to the best Of his ability. Should such q
thing as his removal occur, he can leave
the Office with clear conscience and
feeling that his management Of the office
was conducted under proper principles.
