Our friends are doing the postmaster of
this town an unintentlonal injustice by
signing petition for the appointment of
someone selse. unless they really want q
change. We have reason to believe that
the post Office at Manning will remain as at
present for at least one year, unless the
patrons of the Office want o change. It is
simply ridiculous to see how easy it is for
some people to be gulled into sigRing peti-
tons # those who have signed petition,
matters not how it is worded, do not mean
to ask for 9 change, it is their duty to have
their names taken of at once. The word
ing of a petition is never read, and when
the new administration takes charge, those
urging the appointment Of a Republican
vii show the number Of names and the
character Of the petitioners who are asking
the applicants appointment and thereby
creating an impression that change is
wanted. The postmaster knows full well
the patrons do not want him displaced, and
he also knows they would willingly sign q
petition for his retention. but by signing
the petition now in circulation, they are
not doing themselves nor the postmaster
Justice. In q few words we will ask those
who have signed the petition with reference
to the post Office that do not want change
10 90 and have their names erased and see
that it is done.
