WARNER AND THE VETS.
He Seems To Have Gulled
Them.

WASHINGTON, ~. SsI aug. 20, u.
The postotiice department officials
here are inclined to believe that VIM.
Warner will have considerable diff

of the Republic to his support. let

department here snow that Warrior
has almost continually and consist
emily used his Influence sgainst tn
grand army cnndiiale for postmas er.
and recon- nended the appointment Of
the mere civic polit cisn. There are
100 cases If this kind that uit be
brought forward to illustrate Mr..
Warmers indifference to the welfare o!
The grand army brethren, whose sup

No. The craUd army post OF tie
town unanimously indorsed w. II.

tician named Williams, who hal some
time or another got drunk with Wsr-
ner, wanted the place. Warner in
dorsed Williams, AMI he is now the
postmaster at stanbsrry. Almost II
similar case c,mes from Alb Ky.
Gentry county. The grand army
men OF that Town recommended 'he
appointment of S w. Clark as pps
master. but Warner gave d, parlmen,

WARNER FOOLS THE VETS
The fact is that Warner, while he
has been playing with the CIR id
Army people throughout the sta . ct
Missouri and promising to help them,
has almost invariably given p'iva;-
trip To the postmaster general here
winch caused the appointment o. 'he
civilian applicant fer the post Office
every time. The Grand A rmy people
of Missouri are writing % toe pust
office department officials here to,
every mail, asking who Warner it
dorsed for such and suca pIst office
The post office department of course,
refuses to furnish the information re-
quired, but there is no doub; that in
almost fifty-eight cases out Of a
hundred Warner has Endorsed a
civilian" as against the Grand Army
man wherever contest between the
civilian and the Grand Army people
arose for the control of post offices in
Missouri The post Office department,
here is really very much alarmed over
the situation From the numb r OF
letters received and the number of
threats, it is evident that Major
Warner is in trouble with his Grand
Army friends. There is lett en-
file in the post Office department,
signed by $50 persons. in which the
signers pledge themselves to oppose
the republican ticket all along the
line unless Williams, the prssrnt
postmaster, who was appointed ut the
request of Major Warner, is remrved
and the nominee of the Grand Army
put in his place.
THE RECORDS AMPLE.
Waramaker is considering these
questions very seriously now, aud so
are his sstute and able lieu,ensnts. The
number OF complaints and the num-
Der of protests received convince
them, however, that all the fash stories
sent from Missouri that Warner stands
a show of being elected Governor are
either ignorant or silly. Warner,
while playing the Grand Army men
for all they are worth on the outside.
has been continually doing them up,
SO to speak, on the inside. In other
words, where the Grand Army people
met in their lodge and Endorsed one Of
themselves for Postmaster AMI sent
the indorsment to Warner for his APP
proval, and he sent them back word
that he had approved it, he secretly
conveyed to the Postmaster General a
request that the "civilian" candidate
should be appointed, as being the brst
man for the place. 1t is evident That
the Grand Army men in Missouri
have got onto his piece of treachery
on the part of Warner, and they have
begun to investigate. They can find
plenty of proof IN the Post Office De-
psrtment here that Warner has cheat
ed ard humbugged them right along,
but the chances are that Wauamaker
would not give them access to the re-
cords from now until after the elec-
ton.
