Sir: At the end Of The present month, one Of the
most importans Federal Offices IN the gift OF the
present Administration win be again e the disposal
OF the President Of the United states TO him would
like, a. private Citizen to show some Of the reasons
why believe q Teappont1nent OF tho present post
master Of NewYork City would prove dangerous to
The future welfare Of tho Republican party. To-Day,
with but fow exceptions the eyes Of the employees IN
The New York Postotnce, turned longngiy toward
Washington; their ears opened to hear news that
win relieve them from tho serfdom they kept
In. They have been told that General Harrison has
tho interest Of the people at heart lot HIN turn his
attention to the great ohlce In Eew-York II he
believes that the future Of bis party worthy
OF consideration, he will learn that the in
the New-York Postofce made tho election Of Grover
Cleveland possible in 1884 and his own success
sured IN 1855. They had suffered from the petty
Injustice OF the gbordnatss Of Mr. Pearson, and they
felt thai II tho Democratic party was to come into
power they would be relieved Of their prosecutors.
VITA this in view enough votes wers pledged TO
turn the election in favor Of Mn. Cleveland. Their
work was in vain, for Mr. Pearson was resppolntsd,
and the indlgniaes aud prosecutions wore removed.
The door OF the Postmasters room, which should DO
open to every clerk who has honorable grievance
TO Offer, barred. If superintendent saw ht 30
make complaint, the clerk had redress. so in
their friends inside Republican victory possible.
General Harrison has said thai those who have worked
for the Of the party, should DO tho to be
rewarded To-day $500 men IN the Postoface at
New-York and their friends ask that be put
at tho head Of tho ONCE who has soo respect for hs
CLERKS and carriers. Mr. Pearsou's method Of reward
Ing men IS worthy Of SttentIon. When tho clerks
movement was started 10 have salaries regulated By
Congress, no opposed IT, he promoted from time to
time tho principal officers IN the association on tho
first Of one month"; and on the next dismissed them
from tho service. II may DO claimed that Mr.
Pearson is good Republican; but II be IS, he is one
Of those whom It would be wen for the present Ad
ministrauon to rid itself Of IS soon Is possible. Mr.
Pearson was so loyal to his party as 10 deem 10
desirable to from place to another Just Ton
days before the election, thereby losing his vote, in
order not 10 give offence to the party which HAD kept
im IN Office for four years longer than he expected
Tho question Is simply this: Can President Har-
rson afford to see between 1000 and 1900 men com.
PEELED to submit again 10 the injustiees they have
borne for the last eight yearsi Can no Afford to |
retain IN ONCE who thought little Of the vel
fare Of his party as pnrposely TO lose bis vote Tho
present head OF the Government IS Christian man,
a man who, II tho reports have heard Of him arc |
true believes IA justice and hight. II this be So the
only way ne can give Justice b tho 5000 employees
IN the Kew-York PostofHce and right wrong that |
has been by grave error permitted to continue
from year TO year Is 20 remove Postmaster Pearson
