EDITOR HERALD-Sir: I see the St.
Cloud Times is trying to make fuss
over DR.. Campbell and the Melrose
post Office and condemns Judge Nor
ris because he did not appoint Camp
bell. Has Macdonald forgotten when
he had the distribution of the offices
during the first Cleveland administra-
ton? This very same post office he
promised to one of his friends the man
was sure of it; but when he went to St.
Cloud to apply for it, O'Mac says: you
must get up petition and get the
majority of the business men of Mel
rose to sign it before you can get it,"
and he never got it. Macdonald left
Mr.. Lindberg in the post office for the
most of the Cleveland term until he re-
signed. If Page Morris had applied
the same test to Campbell he would
never look for the post office, for when
he left Melrose and went west with the
sun he abused the people of Melrose
and the Germans in particular, and he
must haye a good cheek to ever set
foot in Melrose. Page Morris need
not trouble himself about Campbell.
for he has very little influence in Mel
rose or any where else.
I see by Campbell's speech he is not
dem ocrat He reminds me of Hon
est John Lind. Two years ago he was
not democrat or populist or repub-
lican, but merely an Office seeker.
Mr.. Editor, that is the way Macdon-
aid used his democratic friends, and
especially the Irish. He was too busy
taking care of himself. He very soon
got to be receiver of the land Office
aud to the best of my belief he had
promised it to one of his best friends,
but we never heard about it until he
had it himself; and he had it for the
full four years SO he need not make
such lament if brother Mckinley took
his scalp, or the "Little Rebel, - which
ever of them did it. It is shame amer
disgrace in the year nave. joined
