SOME time ago w, ii. Ahrens of
Portage, in this state, who has been
a railway postal clerk for many
Years, was removed, and his place
given to an Inexperienced Democrat.
lie wrote to the %postotlice depart
ment, inquiring the reason for his
removal. In reply, Mr.. Jameson,
superintendent of railway mail ser
vice, answers that he was removed
10y order Of Postmaster General
Villas, under the terms of his circu-
lar of Marcn last, which informed
railway postal clerks that those who
have been efficient in other respects,
and shave not turned their attention
to political labors during their ser
vice need have no fear of being dis
turbed as long as they continue to
render meritorious and faithful ser
vice" The inference of course is
that Mr.. Ahrens has offended 10y
political labors, as his efficiency is
questioned by no one. On this point
