REPUBLICAN P. M.’S MUST NOT BLINK EYES

Postmaster-General Burleson Will Get Them if There is the Slightest Opportunity. The fact that republican postmaster’s terms do not expire for from one to three years is th.e cause of much dissatisfaction among democratic aspirant® for preferment, and it is to be the policy of Post-master-General Burleson to remove them on the slightest provocation. Just a little complaint will result in an investigation and if there is any little thing off colof out will go the republcan p. m. and in will go some democrat. Indications are that George B. Haywood will be fired at Lafayette. He has run the postoffice well enough to satisfy most people but a clerk was short and Postmaster Haywood is being criticized for having given the clerk too much rope. Mr. Haywood says that he has had enough postoffice anyway and would be glad to resign to accommodate some democrat, but that he will refuse to budge from the job under charges. In the meantime other republican postmasters are wondering When their time will come and there are plenty of patriotic democrats anxious to get the jobs.
