PARTISAN PosTMAsTERs.

The Department May Detail Inspectors to
Investigate the Most Offensive Cases.
WASHINGTON, Oct 13.-The post Office
department has on 6le complaints
against various postmasters charged
with taking too active a part in the
campaign. a majority of the com.
plants were sent to the president by
citizens and in all of them it appeared
that the officials were electioneering
for Bryan and free silver. Early in the
campaign Postmaster-General Wilson
sent to all postmasters an order of the
president advising them not to become
too active in politics Recently a Michi
gan postmaster was removed for not OBJ
serving this warning. The latest com.
plant received is against William s.
Norwood, postmaster at TitusViIle,
Fla. No action mas yet been taken
against the late offenders, but it Is
possible that post Office inspectors may
be assigned to investigate the charges
against the most aagrant cases.

RIGHTS OF CLERKS s.
They May Assist in Political Work
After Hours.

WASHINGTON Aug. 19-Depart-
ment clerks are agitating the question
of their right to assist, after office
hours, the campaign committees of
the several political parties. The
Democratic congressional campaign
committee 1t is said, is short
of funds, and large share of
its work in the way Of distrrib-
uting literature is performed by voIun-
teers who serve without pay and most
Of whom are employed in the govern
ment departments. 1t is estimated that
by this means the committee is now
saving about $125 per day, its force
having been considerably increased of
late. Some question has arisen as to
whether or not this service did not
constitute offensive partisanship and
constitute a cause for removal A num-
Der of the chief bureau officials express
the opinion that the matter is one con-
corning which the clerks may do as
they please after Office hours. Chair
man Faulkner, of the Democratic con-
gressional committee, said that the
clerks had the right to assist the COM
mittee and that 1t proposed to protect
them in that right.
