SURPRISED CLERKS,
Democratic Postal Clerks Cot ofiois

Notice to Quit,
Postal service clrcles in Omaha are stirred
UP and agtated moro to-day than
they have been at any tins
since the administration changed hands.
This unusual excitement was caused
by the peremptory discharge yesterday morn

C. G.. Phillips aud Mix, who has been
stationed at the transfer. McArdle and
Phillips were head clerks, running on
the Union Pacific line between Omaha and
Ogden. No reasons are given for this rc-

signed by Superintendent Bell, informing
him that his pay had been shut of and that

ers and the postofico. eff removals as we
have been led to believe" said an old agent,
"are being made solely to better the service
and regardless OF q mans politics j can't
understand why jim McArdle should be
thrown out. He is not only Of the
best ever saw II is true that he has al

cured his appointment through very strong
democratic influence, but more competent
man for the business cannot be found. He
made remarkably rapid advancement in the
work, having been gradually promoted ahead
of older men, from the lowest position to n
1890 clerkship. A. w. Griffin. the old chief
clerk, who was bounced last fall by Cleve-
land, received notice to-day that he had bcen
reinstated, and IL is understood will take
the place vacated by McArdle.
