Filley's Fault,
Na.-sA.nts T.vno

~s's~s---s~
The only offense chargable against
Mr.. Filley is that Of being one of the
best political organizers in the Unit
ed States, and Of having done some
Of the best work ON record for the
republican party. The signal Con-
gressional victories achieved by the
republicans of st. Louis last year,
were largely owing to his brilliant
gencralship The fact that he has
done such work for the cause is, OF
course, in Mr.. Schurz's eyes, an un-
pardonable crime. But, since the is
suance Of the Presidents order, Mr.,
Filley has resigned his position on
the National Republican Committee,
and ceased to sin; and perhaps IL
would be quite as well for Secretary
Schurz to confine his "reforms" to his
own department, and not NEEDLE
with the business of the Post-office.
