THE REMOVAL OF MISS CHRISTIE

INDIGNATION IN NYACK UNDIMINIsHED-A PLAIN
VIEW OF THE CASE.
The suspension of Miss Sarah L. Christie postmas ter
Mt Nyack was the allabsorbIng theme ct conversation
there Yesterday A score of prominent Democrats
openy expressed their dspleasure at the methods
poyed t. secure her removal and willing to tell all
bey know about some of the persons concerned in the
AFFAIR Editor John V. Onderdonk, lifelong Demo-
crat said in The Independent Advertiser ,: After
accusing the yers of Miss Christie Of being LOO
in debt for campaign expenses with small prospects Of
paying. of our Democratic friends are not very
well pleased about small paragraph that appeared in
our issue of last week. They say the club is not in
debt the amount therein stated. They may well be
ashamed Of it, to let lot of ramps and carpet-baggers
take the rens in their hands, promising great things,
and when the time do nothing or next to moth

have parades, grand suppers, etc. Then shIrk the
responsibility some else to pay. Shall we give

There is an evident anxiety on part of the Demo
cratic oaicc-hunters to quiet the Republicans who
have taken up defensive cudgel for Miss Christie.

and unpleasantly mixed up with the same contract
affair unjustly turned against Miss Christie One or
two of her opponents have already limited that they
fear being struck with a boomerang.
To me Editor Of The Tribune.
SIR: A large majority OF the people of this place
including many prominent Democrats were greatly
pleased with TlE TRBUNE's articles to-day in refer
ence t. the removal of the Nyack Postmaster Miss
Sarah l.. Christie. Nothing that has taken place in
TINS county In many has caused such indignation
as this removal. Not n word has been spoken
against Miss Christie during her term Postmaster.
aorty Of the Democrats here have been in favor OF
her being retained even through the Democratic Ad-
mnstraton and the most of those who hinted at her
removal wanted it done merely because they thought
Democrat should ha the Office and not for any mis-
demeanor her part. But the charge brought
against her. and upon which her removal is based is
infamous and totally nfounded, n investi-
CATION will show Miss Christie knew Of frauds
committed while she assistant postmaster, as is
charged. When entered the Post Office after her
moval was announced in the Washington dispatches,
found her in tears She did not object TO a Democrat
upon her fathers memory and upon herself She felt
anxious to have the charge investigated and would
like the nost careful examination made into the at
fairs Of the Office under her charge.
The nstigators of the movement against Miss
Christie are Democrats of prominence, whose sole aim
TO have her removed for political purposes. They
bound 20 have her supplanted by Democrat,
and said they would go through her fathers grave to
do it," This they have done. and have aroused public
indignation in every quarter. Democrats a. much
aggravated over the matter Republicans and II is
probable that an effort will soon be made 10 have
poet office established in South Nyack. Orlanco
Hump hrey, the appointec keeps quiet in the
matter. but IL il believed that he had much Of hand
in II any one. One thing II certain II this in
Justice against Miss Christie IA allowed to stand and
Mr. Humphrey assumes charge OF the Post Office, the
revenues Of that office will be greatly decreased, be-
cause large quantity OF mail matter sent daily from
this place will be sent through another than the Nyack
Post Office. Had the removal been for cause, even
for the outspokcn purpose Of putting Democrat ill., the
ftcng here would not have been bitter; but the
people cannot swallow foul outrage perpetraed
by q few political tncksters and re-pallers.
