EDITOR REPUBLICAN:-Wh it is an
.undoubted fact, that the election of Grow
er Cleveland to the Presidency, is the
beginning of an era Of unity and frater-
nifty, contemplated by the trainers of the
government but not heretofore attained,
| cannot agree with Independent in
your issue of the 26th ult, that therefore
the late rebels shall occupy all the front
seats Immediately behind the orchestra,
to the entire exclusion of such democrats
as chose 20 remain true to the flag as we'll
as to the party. Major Gardner did not
even have the poor excuse of "going with
his state" but when draft for soldiers
was ordered boldly deserted the LOYAL
North and entered the ranks of the re-
bsllious South. In case no other equally
competent person, to fill the position of
Postmaster in this city, could be found in
our midst. / should be prepared to con-
cede that the Major mistake, in taking
MP arms on the other side, should not
stand in the way of an efficient public
service, but such not being the case
think it would be in bad taste, to say the
least, to select him major Gardner) in
preference to the many unobjectionable
democratic aspirants in our city.
Neither do believe that President Cleve-
land will make it the special policy of his
administration to pay. the old debts of
Congressman by the appointment of
questionable material to I'LL important
public positions, as "Indepcndsnt'' would
have it in regard to Gen. Bragg and
Major Gardner.

surely he must be, and as there are
several aspirsnts, or will be, before the
public, and as each one has his personal

in the footsteps of our great "Humani-

advocates the same cause and seeks to
relieve and mitigate the suffering of our

That alone should speak volumes 10 his

like to see have the Post Office. A man
whose whole ljfs among us has been a
daily relief for the people and who stands
