THOSE COMPLAINTS.
Another Chapter in the Post Office Matter.

SOMEBODY MAKING MISCHIEF
A Business Man Denies Having Made a Complaint.

In this morning's Dispatch appeared an unwarranted attack upon our mail carriers. It is asserted that they are neither prompt nor efficient. This is rather a sweeping charge. No bill of particulars accompanies it. Indeed the charge is about as wide from the truth as anything possible could be.

On all sides there has been commendation for the efficiency of the carriers. One gentleman of Main street on being informed that he had made complaint, replied that some one had taken the extreme pains to make it for him. He had no fault to find with the present service and he made no complaint. He did not wish it to be understood that he actually was finding fault with the former service, but he never had reason to be better satisfied than under the present administration.

This gentleman is a Republican in politics, but as a business man he knows no politics and don't propose to assist others in making mountains of mole hills.

Another gentleman who had formerly occupied a responsible position in the post office said that he was astonished that there should be some mistakes in the post office. It is, humanly speaking, impossible to conduct an office as large as the Pawtucket office without some mistakes. These mistakes come from mis-direction, or a difficulty in deciphering poor writing, or in the similarity between names. There had been mistakes when he was at the post office and no matter who had charge of the post office there would be mistakes.

This person knows whereof he speaks and talks like a man of sound sense and good judgment. Some persons try to make it appear that there have been mistakes and complaints of a recent date. This is not true.
