Postmaster Warnock has been severely
criticized in some quarters, although UNI
Justly. for the recent appointments of let
ter carriers. 1t is but right that the
impression should be corrected, as the
postmaster had nothing whatever to do
with making any of the appointments.
The matter of making nominations for
these places was taken out of his hands
by an order of the Postmaster-General,
of July 18th, which specifies that the
selection from the carriers eligible regis
ter for the appointments for the estab-
lishment of the free delivery service at
new offices, shall be made bc the Post
master-General." The list of eligibles for
places in the civil service at Bellaire
were received and posted in the postofiice
corridor yesterday. 1t included the names
of twenty-seven persons.
The Ohio River road had a hundred
excursionists from this place yesterday,
