ST. JOHNSB URTANS PROTEST
Against the Confirmation of Arther G..
Randall as Postmaster -- Very Grave
Charges Preferred Against Him.

Charges Preferred Against Him.
The usually pastoral quiet of st, Johns
bury is disturbed over the affairs at the
post-office. w. w, Sprague, the republican
postmaster, who had served but seventeen
months of his term, was removed last June
by the president, and Arthur g. Randall
was dominated in his place. Mr.. Randall
hes since had charge of the office, but his
nomination has not been confirmed by the
senate. A petition representing niue-tenths
of the business interests of st. JOhnsbury,
and including many of the leading demo-
Gratis of the town, has been sent to Wash
ington demonstrating against the cOntrma-
ton of Randall. The petition forwarded to
the postmaster general is worded as follows:
THE undersigned patrons of the post-ofiice
at St Johnsbury, Vt, hereby express to
you their lack of confidence in the admin
istration of the post.ofiice at this place, and
demonstrate against the confirmation and
continuance of Arthur G. Randall as post
master. We ask the appointment of a re-
liable democrat under whose administration
we shall feel secure in the privacy of our
mail matter" Mr. Randall is charged, it
is said, with opening a letter that was sent
last November by Senator Proctor to a
well-known citizen of St. Johnsbury, and
there appears of late to have been grow
ing belief among business men and others
since Randall has been in the Office that the
privacy of their mail matter was being tam
pered with. This has eliminated in the
above remonstrance.
