Appointment turmoil over Cook as Chicago postmaster
Re appointment of Cook as Chicago postmaster sparks outrage. Critics say the act smacks of executive vengeance against Douglas allies and questions his efficiency. A missing balance of 18 000 dollars, a sale of land for post office expansion at 615 000, and Treasury delays fuel claims of defalcation and improper backing.
