giving the Police Committee the power to
appoint the driver of tie patrol wagon

Nr. Quinn with considerable force said
he was surprised Mt the amendment. II
was well known, he said, that the City

confirmation from Council, that the
Mayor might have the entire control oil

Mr.. Roberts felt indignant at the oiier-

That Republican Hallway Clerk.

every Evening" OF April 23rd says;
d. +. Spear, Republican railway postal
c'erlS ON the Philadelphia and West Ches-

Spear was the most efficient clerk In the

record: also that Superintendent Il. Z;

provide.
The facts In the case are these: D. u.
Spear liTed in Oxford, Pa, aud so I'D
Levi Crowel, the mail agent on the Phila-
dclph'a and Port Dep sit route. Mr..
Crowel was In bad health and was in the
habit OF employing Spear TO run In his
place as u sort Of "mske shift" The
mail beil G very light, finally other clerks
on snail routes would employ Spear
to Iun when they were sick or wanted
rest. 1t was well known fact that Mr..
Spear was Democrat, but nG one found
any fault for that, but employed him all
| the sare.
| During all this time Spear was very
| qniet, but after Cleveland was elected he
wished for the power Of st. Patrick when
he banishcd the snakes and toads from
lre'and. II he could have his way, he
said, here should not be one Republican
left in position at the end of u month.
AT the same time he had been running
some feyen years az substitute for Re.
publican clerks and receiving theil
mon y. After Mr. Cleveland came into
power this same man Spear raised Cain
because some Of the Republicans that
had boon discharged by The Democrats
for political reasons only were employed
as instructors to the new men, and said
that if they were allowed to run hi

stop these old experienced men from run
ming substitutes and instructors, ant
they had 10 get out with all their expe
rience.
Now for Mr.. Spears efficient perform
ances. When Frank Emmons OF WI
m'Dgton was appointed On the Ph'ladel
phia and Crlsheld route, Spear made tn,
department believs that he was competen
to instruct Emmo's in the duties Of
postal clerk on this route, which he knew
but Ii tie more about than Emmons him
self. 1t IS thought by many that Emmons
failure was owing 10 all incompetent In
s'ructer in the start in the service Whel
Emmons would ask Spear where a piec
OF mail went, Spear would have to e

the train would be past the station. The

The next we hear OF Mr.. Spear he turn

with no other qualifications under heave
than being Democrat. As for Superb

and provider, it Is absurd. X. G. JacksO
