WASHINGTON, ID. O., Sept. 80, 1884.
TO ne Editor Of The ECeniR0 critic.
As you appear very much concerned Mt the
prospect OF clorks not going homo to vote, al
low me to give youa reason why some OF thom
DO not want to go aud which may prevent quite
q number OF voters from going home
In certain bureau OF the War Department
there 10 what they call q record kept, and all
time lost by clerks is charged against them,
and works against their chance for promotion.
For Instance A clerk OF the District of Column
bia and q clerk from Wisconsin are In the same
oficei both are equal rs 70 record; IL the
clerk from Wisconsin goes homo to vote and
tho clerk from the District 1Oh0 does not U0te,
the chief OF the division the clerk from the
District will get the next promotion.
Now, II tho tlmo charged against tho clerk
was time Lost by reason OF sickness or other.
vice, In excess Of tho thirty days annual
leave, could see whore tho Justice comes In;
but II does seem to mo that leave allowed by
the Department should not be charged
uhat is The thirty days). Tho loss OF time In
the bureau is considered such grave oIonse
Now, In the case given, II the clerk from Wis.,
conein was ahead In every other requisite,
and ehould 60 home to vote or lose any OF his
thirty daye, IL would probably result In the
promotion OF tho District clerk or any other
clerk who does not take the leave allowed him.
Ihave heard some OF the clerks of this pu.
renu discussing this matter, aud have hoard
some OF them say that they did not intend 10

ice, and Inferior In clerical ability to get ahead

The Evening critic., 1884-10-02

In the case stated above the clerk Is right,
especially if he bo man OF family. But we
are sure that such rule docs not prevail IN
