Wanamaker Hypocrisy and Postmaster Hearings Highlight 1889
A dense potpourri of 19th century politics, scandals, and editorials. The column reviews Wanamaker's handling of postmaster appointments, attacks Hampton, details statements about the Columbia post office, and discusses party politics. It links retirements, cabinet actions, and public notices with critical polemic on partisanship and reform. The text weaves War Department criticisms, civil service concerns, and a moral reflection prompted by Napoleon.
