POSTAL CLERKS REPLY.
TheyTell a Different Story from tn
One Given Out by Villas.

TheyTel a Different Story from the
One Given Out by Villas.
Indianapolis, July SC. @. Meade,
chief clerk, and e. E. Robb, secretary OF
the brotherhood of postal clerks, have
prepared q response TO the statements of
Postmaster General Villas. In substance
they say that the postal clerks expected
very generally on the incoming of the
present administration to be removed;
that in such anticipation, some resigned.
others get their houses in order to 90;
that Postmaster General Villas, by his
circular of March 81, 1885, gave them to
understand expressly that there should
be no removals without cause and none
for political causes. Soon, how
ever, their faith was shaken by re-
peated and frequent removals of good
men without cause; that by reason of
such removals increased work was
imposed upon them. They were re.
quired, in addition to their regular and
onerous duties, to teach the new men;
that new men were often promoted over
them; that in some instances these new
men were given leave of absence to
devote time to political work without
complaint or rebuke, while old clerks
were being removed for alleged
political work done years before; that
they felt they were being imposed upon
by having additional duties and work
put on them, and by favoritism shown
in many ways to the new appointees;
that they had q pride in the efficiency OF
the service, and found that those things
tend to destroy that efficiency; that they
|objected to removals beng made upon
secret charges unknown to them and to
which they had no opportunity of reply
ing or being heard; shat their orsaniza-
tlon was founded upon these things,
looking to the good and efficiency OF the
public service, and to prevent, if possible,
it's destruction by constant and frequent
removals without cause; that under the
professions and promises OF the postmas-
ter general, the public would Infer that
the removals were made sufficient cause,
thus leaving o stigma on the person
removed, and unjustly 80 that the sense
of their protest was that, in justice TO
those removed, they only asked that the
cause of removal should be made known:
that while, as public servants, they
recognized their duties to the public
and faithfully and zealously performed
them. for proof OF which they point with
pride to the esrvice itself, they felt that
as men and citizens they are entitled at
least to fair and just consideration by
the postmaster general; that what they
did was not in any spirit of insubordina-
ton or obstruction. but. on the contrary,
was in the highest interest of tho postal
service, on behalf Of the public. and in
their W interest as men and citizens
wishing the good opinion of the public
and the maintenance of the high eff
cheney Of the postal service; hat they
intended to wait upon the postmaster
general and submit these things to his
consideration, when he hurriedly
removed q large number of clerks with.
out hearing. THIS they believed he did
to avoid beng confronted with his re.
cords Of removals.
