REPUBLICAN, TR!BULAIIoNS.
Indiscriminate Charges Not Justified by
the Facts.

The Republican newspapers have
raisel great hue and cry over the re-
1novals OF postmasters. They have as
Serted that these officials have been
turned out with unseemly haste, ard
that the Presidential energy has been
largely devoted to hunting down Re-
publican postmasters and filling their
places w tn Democrats. This acton
they assert has BEEN for pol teal eject
and for the purpose of influencing the
fall elections. The statement mad By
the Postmaster-Genara shows the falls
ity of the charges above referred to.
From that statement it appears that
during the five moaths of MIR. Cleve-
lands adm nistrat.on he has made 467
appointments of Presidential post-
masters, 274 of which have been to va
| cancies caused by expiration of term of
service and 1873 in place of suspended
officers. The larger number of these
appointments would have been neces-
sary under any administration. and
there have been less than two suspen-
| sions day.
This showing certainly does not prove
that t..cre has been any undue haste in
removing partisan postmasters, but
ra.her that the Presidents progress in
that dire clion has been extremely mod
crate. In relation to the cases of sus-
pension, the Postmaster-Ge General says
| that in every instance the cas-. has been
carefully considered upon the evidence
| in pursu lnce of the same principles by
which the President was guided in the
beginning, and that large number of
sole ted removals have been refused
becau e the proofs Were not such as in
the Presidents Judgment to warrant
such action.
After this authoritative statement, we
trust the Republican press will have the
manlineSs to do President Cleveland
justice and retract the charges they
have so indiscrimina.ely made Per-
haps that is too much to expect; but
they should at least have t .e decency
to refrain from further charges in this
direction until they have first investi-
gated the subject and made sure that
there is some just foundation for criti-
cism.-W Washington Posi-.
