Our Post Office Contest.-Little has


been heard about our post office lately
and the CALIFORNIAN had supposed that
no change would be made at present, and
it still thinks so. The Washington cor
respondent of the Springfield Republican
has been writing up the situation and
our people will be interested in his story:
1.-THE facts regarding the post Offices at
St. Johnsbury and Hardwick have been
brought to the attention of the post
office department. The point was raised
early in the administration, whether
democrat who was the second democrat
appointed under Mr.. Cleveland, or who
had held office for long time under a
recess appointment before confirmation,
should be permitted to serve his lul term
oil four years. The decision of the de.
partment was that no removals should
be made in these cases except for cause.
The republicans appear to think that
they have cause IN the st. Johnsbury case,
because of the removal of the former re-
publican postmaster upon frivolous
charges early in the Cleveland admins
tration, after little more than year OF
service, and in the face of the fact that.I
Gen. Grout had permitted his democracy
predecessor to serve nearly five years. IF
a competent democrat had then been
appointed and had remained in Office, h S
four-years' term would now be on the
point of expiration. What happened
was the appointment of an undeserving
man, who opened letter addressed to
another person and whose name was
withdra wn by President Cleveland when
he learned the facts. There appears to
be no serious complaint against the
democrat who was then nominated, but
the republican leaders in st. .Johnsbury
believe that one year Of the letter-opener
and three years of another democrat is
enough. 1t has been suggested to the
post office officials that a removal be
made in favor OF a republican, but thus
lar no promise has been made that this
shall be done. In the Hardwick case
there is less scandal, but the present DEM
ocratic postmaster held the place when
it was fourth-class office and secured a
lease of life until 1900 when the office
was raised to the presidential rank. This
is not to the liking OF some of the active
republicans Of the town."
