Postmaster Removed for Local Politician in Albert Lea
An efficient postmaster in Albert Lea Minnesota was replaced to make room for a local politician. The former postmaster Hankness was reinstated after two years following Cleveland’s removal amid business leader complaints and Republican petitions. Hankness’s successor D K Stacy satisfied the office, amid claims the removal was political due to party alignment. Stacy served two years of his term, is a Civil War veteran praised for gallantry, and had kept politics out of duties. Local bosses pressed for a party worker, despite Stacey’s good conduct and service.
