The Detroit Posioffice.

A correspondent writing from Detroit
over the signature of Democrat" replies
to previous correspondent who stated in
the GLOBE of the 18th inst. that Mr.. Hor-
hicks appointment was not a Democratic
victory. as he was opposed by nearly all
the Democrats that do business at that Of
flee. Democrat" claims this 10 be a mis-
leading statement. He reverts TO the pre-
vious history of the Office, how the former
postmaster, Mr.. Dix, removed the Office TO
poor location partially as a real estate
speculation for the benefit of one K. O..
Holmes, and claims that the opposition TO
Mr. Honick comes from Mr.. Holmes and
his friends. To prevent Mr.. Honick's APP
pointment, says Democrat" the oppoSi-
ton obtained about sixty fraudulent names
TO petition in favor of another applicant
who was unfit for the Office. Democrat
concludes as follows:
Mr.. Hornick's appointment is well re-
ceived here by very large majority of the
people, and as reform is the watchword. his
appointment cannot help but strengthen the
Democratic party here. He is man against
whose honor, integrity and business qualifi-
cations there cannot lbe a word said by any
one. and whose abilities would be equal 10
the tas's if called upon to ill anNloffce in the
state: and whose appointment is welcomed
with JOY by all honest Democrats and Repub-
licans alike who are not pecuniarily inter-
ested otherwise. However, we do not take
in consideration fictitious names marked
Democrat. Neither do we take in considera-
ton Democrats now holding office by Repub-
lican votes that are behind in their accounts
with the county (S1,000) one thousand dollars
or Whereabouts. To these, both here and
elsewhere. Democrat or Republican, we would
say step down and out. This is the era of
reform; we do not need your services longer.
