AFTER POSTMASTER GENERAL.
Called Upon by Republican Ciub. TO Re.isr
from the Cabinet.


Philadelphia. Pa. June lin view Of
the postal frauds in Cuba a number Of
the Republican clubs Of this city Of the
stalwart or Quay persuasion have started
in on a crusade which has FOR its object
the ousting OF Charles Emory Smith from
President McKinIey's Cabinet While al
oe the local Republican leaders deny that
they are identified with the movement il
is well understood that Il was not !nau-
guIated spontaneously by the clubs them
selves. but that il has behind it at least
the taCit consent and indOrsamant Of the
men who run the city and State organiza-
tions Of the party
The ball was started rolling tonight
a a meeting Of the Harry r Wildey Re
publican Club. of the Thirty-second
Ward. of which William Porter is presi-
dent. and which boasts OF a membership
of go, all active party workers in their
various election districts. Mr.. WiIdey.
whose name the club bears. is a
deputy sheriff. and prominent in the lead
ership of his party in the Twenty-seventh
executive district. The club at to-night's
meeting adopted a series Of resolutions,
the preamble 10 which sets forth that
ION account Of the frauds re-
ttHilN tNpOStu IN lNt pOStdl ser
vice In the Island of Cuba. II Is ap-
parent that the head Of the Post-office
Department at Washington cannot es-
cape from the responsibility for the scan
dal which consequently attaches to the
Federal administration"
The resolutions call upon Charles Emory
Smith to resign the office Of Postmaster
General on the ground that the depart
ment over which he pres des has been in
cOmpetently administered, and that his re-
tentiOn in office would accentuate the
scandal and bring further reproach upon
the Republican party of the nation.
In the event of Mr.. Smith refusing or
reslectins to yield up his Office President
Mckinley IS requested by the resolution
to remove him summaTily. 'In view Of
the fact that Gen. Alger was obliged to
give up the portfolio of Secretary of War
because of the scandals growing out Of
the war with SPAIN" IL is eontended that
AigeF should be enforced in the case of
Smith. and that the Postmaster General
VIII be held accountable by the country a.
large for the outrageous condition of af-
fairs in the postal service i'm Cuba Just as
surely as was Gen Alger made RESPONSE
bic for the shortcomings of the war office
According 10 the programme outlined by
the various Republican managers, the
Wildey Club resolutions are to be adopted
by number of similar orga MIA tions dur
ing the present week. including the Union
Republican Club, 300 members: PenrOsa
Republican Club. 200 members: the Will
lam r Leeds Ascocis ton. 900 members:
First Ward Republican Club. 15DO mem
bers, and other ward clubs. embracing In
all more than 30GG members.
