OberIy, chairman Of the Democratic State

Postmaster General Villas. Complaint was
made to Mr.. Oberly by the Democratic
leaders OF Aurora that o. B. Knickerb boxer,
postmaster Of that city, was al active and
offensive Republican, and charges were
made against him by Thomas O'Donnel,
chairman of the Central Committee of
Aurora, to the same effect. The letter Mr.
Oberly forwarded 10 Mr.. Villas, who replied
that the charges would be considered soon
as the condition Of the business OF the de-
partment with proper regard to the regular
order, would permit. He says that the vast
amount of business of the department
necessitating the most careful attention and
the appointments to fill vacancies already
existing may delay for some time the con-
sideTation OF cases of this nature. The con-
duct of the public interest is superior in
importance to speedy relief against offensive
appointments. Mr.. Villas further adds that
when charges showing the postmaster TO be
an offensive and active partisan in his offics
shall be sustained. they will receive due and
satisfactory consideration consistent With
public business and the interests OF the ssr.
vice.
