4 POLITICAL SCANDAL.
BaYonne's Post Office a Part of the
HarrisOnian Machine-News
Notes.

Letter Carrier William Mann has been
instructed by a post Office inspect or to
send in his resignation, in default of
which he will be summarily removed at
the end Of the month, simply ecause he
is Democrat. This course was recent
ly decided upon after William Connolly,
another Democrat, had been removed for
offensive partisanship." Mr.. Mann is
beyond doubt the most popular of the
carriers, and none have been more eff
cient. His habits have been correct and
he is courteous. The so-called charges
against him are that one hot afternoon
about six o'clock he sat down to rest in
Thomas Magner's saloon. He had COM
pleted delivery of his route and his DAYS
work was done. 1t had not been his Gus
tom to rest in saloons, as he neither drinks
nor smokes. An INSPECTOR on the watch
caught him. Henry Mahnken, one of
Fourth Ward Republican County Com
mtttemen, will succeed him. Democrats
are justly indignant and many sober
minued Republicans are of the same
judgment.
