GENERAL Villas, PLAN.
How He Intends 40 select the Men
for fhe POstOfiices.

Postmaster General Villas has issued
circular to members of Congress outlining
his plan in making changes in postohces.
Mr.. Villas says
"This is, in short to pick out the most
obnoxious and offensive partisans in each
county, to the number of sixth to q quar-
ter of all, and choose first -class men to take
tn cir places. / will require no more proof
of paItisanship in these selections than the
affirmation of knowledge on the part of a
Representative or Senator that the post
master has been an active editor or propri-
etor of Republican newspaper, printing
offensive articles, easily shown by slips or
a stump speaker, or member of political
committee, or officer of campaign club, or
organizer of political meetings. or that his
office has been made the headquarters of
political work, or that his clerks have been
put into the performance of political duties.
Possibly other acts of equal force may be
noted In some cases. If the Representative
does not know the fact it should be estab-
lished by some affidavit of some person
whom he can affirm to be of unquestioned
crodibility, or by some documentary evil
dence.
I'm recommending for appointment,
beg the Representative will state the age,
and what kind of business experience, and
a description Of the business character of
the applicant, and also Of his habits and
standing in the community. 1t would be
well to file evidence showing that he will
be satisfactory to the community, and when
there are various candidates | shall be
obliged bv any explanation which the Rep
resentative can give.
This necessarily imposes little trouble,
and yet not very great, but it seems to me
reasonable to require very extraordinary
care and trouble enough to be taken to rep
resent surely the facts"
In carrying out this plan Mr.. Villas APP.
pointments show that he is taking up first
the cases in States where political cam
paigns are in the near future. Virginia
Ohio and Indiana therefore now receive the
most attention.
