If my official acts since the nan>
guration of the present admlnlstra-
ton have not been entirely satlSfac-
tory, both to the Commissioner and
Collector, they have never intimated
so much to me. But without a SIM
ole charge against me ] am thus
dismissed from the public service by
a subordinate of an administration
pledged to civil service reform. 1
am, of course, removed FOR being
4 Democrat, and in order to make
room for a republican.
Some time last Noy a petition.
was circulated and signed by about
Is republicans of Sharp county and
sent to the Int, Rev. Department.

fensive partlsan;" that took active
part in the last campaign in behols

Democrat of the deepest dye is b
fact, and that l did everything ih
my power for the. success Of thf
Democratic ticket during tile
las, campaign is a fact, of which 4
am very proud; that have been 2s
strong a Democrat and as hard IA
worker for the success of the party
