We have made considerable in
quiry IN regard to the alleged misus
of republican posters by the post
; master at Prairieview, and all partie
conversant with the full facts seem t
think that the postmaster did not de
stroy any bills. The facts seem to b
, that lot of bills were received by th
postmaster directed to Prairieviev
without any name being on them 8
far as he could see. He opened tn
: package and hung one up in the post
, Office, and placed the remainder o.
! the counter, from where some wer
. taken by republicans. 1t Is not
part Of postmasters duty to pos
bills for political parties. And as th
posters were supposedly for him, b
placed them where the public coul
find them. Three or four days afte
those remaining were disposed of a
, indicated by the Dispatch. The posi-
master at Prairieview is Mr.. Bowman
one Of the best men in the county, an
everyone who knows him, knows tina
he would not destroy mail matter O
any kind except as provided by law.
