Mr.. WILSON, the late postmaster at
Savannah, had to be elected by a
postollice inspector before he would
surrender to Captain Lamar, who had
been appointed to the place. lie held
that Mr.. Cleveland had no right to
supercede him. This is going too far.
The President unquestionably has
some prerogatives and one of these is
TO fill the Presidential postoilices where
he thinks change desirable for the
good of the service, If Captain Lamar
had been an Albany man the case
would be different Then we might
have taken Mr.. Wilson in as partner
and stood by him.
