King, III. G. Niles Names of probationary an
pointees not given. Referring TO the grievance
of George w. Smith, who complained that he
refused a lay off when member of his fam
lily was dangerously i'll, Mr. French disclaimed
the statements, and added: In that case / most
certainly would have relieved him. l should
have told him to go home to his family and stay
there until he was no longer needed, and his pay
would have gone on" He said he was sometimes
deceived but had to rely on the words of the
men, He disproved Smiths statement that his
pay was deducted for three weeks when he was
suffering from injuries received in a wreck, by
producing letter from the department showing
that he had been paid for every day he was in
the service.
He disproved the statement of w. H. Phillips.
who said that after the dismissal of the clerks,
many of them old employees when the service
was again recruited, new men We're taken in
their places and gave the names of three such
appontees Mr.. French produced the record
and showed that each of the three named had
been in the service from two to three years at
the time lin 1873 and 1879 when the reduction
in force took place.
Mr.. French took up the complaints of Ernest
B. Cole, John P. Black, Rutledge and Estes, and,
fortified by official reports from Washington, APP
parently justified his action in each and every
case.
TO refute the charge of discrimination against
Union soldiers, he cited the names of a number
whom he had promoted These were Major w
+. Hit, Ball, Wuest, Dunlavy, Boyd, Vincent
Barnett, COder, Traub, Vance, Gray, Purdy,
Gliffis Blair, Dillon, Winters, Fullen, Neon

Never So Miserable Mail Service.

Plainfed Progress.
The good of the postal service is not liable to
suffer any on account of the investigation ~ now
being held on the remains of G. Jay French, su-
perintendent, unless the present inquest, as
many surnise it will, turns out to be a gigantic
spectacular farce. More, much more than
enough has been told by competent witnesses to
show French incompetent and overbearing in
the extreme. The preponderance of evidence
belongs to French; he has failed to produce it.
II makes no difference what thousand men
may not have seen; if three did see it, the evil
dence is conclusive. All the hirelings that
French may bring who did not know anything
against him, cannot disprove the facts that
are known and have been testi-
fed to by competent witnesses. A
worse management of postal affairs
in this county than at present exists, could not
possibly be. Letters from Avon, Hendricks
county, to Danville, the county seat. distance
of only seven miles, have been, on several occa-
sions, delayed days and days; in some instances
not showing up at ALL A letter directed to
Easton. on the l. & st. L. railroad, was returned
to Plainfeld, saying there was no such Office,
when Easton is only few miles from Avon.
And we have the say-so of a gentleman whose
word is beyond dispute, that letters from Cincin-
natl to his family fail to materialize. How can
such things be helped, when, under the supervi-
sion of G. Jay French. the mail that should con-
meet with the Vandalia arrives, usually, twenty
minutes after that train has departed. Let
French go-stop the music.

Liquor In Elections.

The liquor sellers in this city are or

in securing more lenient Excise law.
John Cavanaugh was elected Presl-
dent, and NJ. p. Gilmore, Secretary.
Mr. Cayanaugh stated ut length his
views on the subject and the course that
should be taken by the dealers. He
claimed that each liquor dealer in this
CITY controlled from five to ten votes,
and if the dealers wanted to put stop
to the police raids they must unite their
patronage and support.

Mr.. Corragin thought that by closing
the saloons on Sunday while those in

was in favor of closing during church
