The officer of the postofico department had any fustrucdons from me in regard o an order aff-cing the New York postoffios on election day. Bqually incorrect is the statement that the *‘democratic chairman” called my attention to tke law prohibitine the closing of offices on election day.

Equally incorrect is the statement that I said to ‘‘a leading democrat in Mt Pleasant” or to any one else during my recent visit to Iowa that *‘I intend to keep the New York postoffice opan on eloction day.” The records of the department show that the ucting postnaster geueral, on 610 night befors election, teldgraphed the postmastar of New York to give his employes a_full opportonity to exercite the right of suffrage,” and Post- master Pearson, in a published iotarviow, saye: “Every man engaged in the post flice had an awple opportunity during the time be- tween the openmng and close of the polling places to deposit his ballot in own election dis- trict.
