in a prepared speech this morning for Its
friendship and support In giving him a
vots of confidence when the clllxcne of
Buffalo county were circulating petition
against him for his vote against the cai
Hal removal bill. He did not enter the rig
or wrong of the arguments used again
him, but slated his trust and affection lo.
his people. Me said, In part:
Mr. Speaker: I Hue to a question of per
sonal privilege. During my temporary ab
sence this house adopted resolutions ex
pressing Its confidence tn me both as a
man and a member of this body. For this
public expression of your confllence I am
more grateful than WoluS can express. Ai
wa) s a man has need of the help of his
friends, but occasionally tlii-ie is preseing
need and such a crisis having come In my
life you came to my suriort with a a?al, a
loyalty, a unanimity, which 1 can never
repay. 1 desire to My that thei ;-re no
better people on Oort's green footstool than
my people, the people of Buffalo county, i
love them, every one of them. 1 took a
homestead claim in Buffalo county In
April, 1871. and have resided on that home
stead ever since. At the date when I
filed my claim there had bien but four
claims taken In the county, tfo, it seems I
have the right to call the people of Buffalo
county my people.
The present crlllcism In regard to my
vet en H. R. 246 is due to the .'act that
very few of our people understand the
method of procedure, the rules and regula
tions governing the making of laws. In
my ae the men who circulated Ine peti
tions and secured, as they state, 1.000
names thereto, these men slated that I had
voted for l. R. JS in the committee of
the whole and undemanding that I had
nc voted for the bill the people could
not understand why I changed my attitude
toward the bill and voted against it on Its
final passage. The fact is, 1 did not vote
for the blli at any stage.. I civted to amend
the bill In committee of th whole and
when the motion ( matlo to It efinltety
postpone the bill I votd no. for th reason
that 1 thought there would still be oppor
tunity to refer the bill back to the commit
tee for specific amendment, nut when this
was attempted the speaker ruled the motion
was eut of order. .

Postmaster Benjamin r. Thomas, who
holds down a 10.000 job as local Nanny. Is
made the subject of an Interesting com
munication, forwarded yesterday t the
president of the Civil Service commission
at Washington, charging the postmaster
with flagrant violation of civil service
rules. More serious yet. Postmaster
Thomas Is charged with "shaking down"
subordinates In the postoffli-e for po
litical contributions. In violation of the
federal statutes. The letter Ms prepared
and signed by Dan W. Tlllotson, who has
been twenfy-three years on the letter car
rier force In Omaha, an officer of the
local letter carriers' association, whom
Postmaster Thomas has recently under
taken to punish by removing him Trom
the downtown district to the most remote
delivery route in the suburbs.
Tlllataon's Letter ta Black.
Letter Carrier "iniotaon has worked un
der five postmasters, and never had any
trouble with any of them before, and
therefore resents his mistreatment, which
Is explained In the letter he has written.
as follows:
"Omaha, Neb.. Feb. IS. 19U.-Hon. John
C. Black, Chairman United States Civil
Service Commission, Washington, V. C
My Dear Sir: I am now. and have been
for a number of years. In the service of
the Postal Department of tbe I'nlteU
States government In the city of Omaha,
Neb., and my employment has consisted in
carrying mall tn ths city of Omaha, Neb.,
and during the entire period of my em
ployment I have never had any charges
preferred against me.
"During the last campaign In Nebraska
the present postmaster, Benjamin F.
Thomas, was particularly Interested In the
employes of the Postofflce Department,
giving political assistance to the repub
lican ticket, and particularly to Senator
K. J. Burkett, and In this behalf said
postmaster, through his subordinates, ap
proached tne and requested, that I give
my assistance and Influence toward - the
election of Senator E. J. Burkett, and
that I should attend political meetings and
receptions In bis behalf.
Ylolatlen of Law Charge.
'To such entreaties I responded that my
position as mail carrier did not neces
sitate tha; I should become particularly
Interested In the election of any person
to any public position, and my refusal to
so do brought me Into the displeasure of
said postmaster, and as a consequence
thereof 1 have been reduced in rank In
my employment. That said reduction in
rank Is due to the fact that I refused to
support candidates which said postmas
ter requested I should support.
"In addition thereto I have come Into
the possession of positive proof that said
postmaster, Benjamin F. Thomas, has not
only been violating the civil service rules
In the matter already - stated, but that
said Thomas has collected money for po
litical purposes from employes of the
Postofflce Department, and has thereby
violated the United States statutes by ex
torting political contributions from his
subordinates In tbe postofflce.
1 am further ready to tell tha proper
authorities where these proofs may be had
if they should want them. I wish .fur
ther to state that said Postmaster Thomas
has endeavored, and Is still endeavoring
to build up a political 'machine through
tha Postofflce department, and that said
Thomas Is endeavoring to form political
clubs for the purpose of perpetuating him
self In his political position.
"I wish further to stats that the em
ployes In the Postofflce department In the
city of Omaha, Neb., were compelled to
mak political contributions to said Ben
jamin F. Thomas during the last campaign.
and that said employes did make said con
tributions from fear of reduction in rank.
Thomas Boasts ( Pall,
"I wish further to state that I am writ
ing this statement to the Civil Bervlce
commission rather than to the Postofflce
department for the reason that the said
Postofflce department has paid no atten
tion to former communications which have
been mad by other persona to said Post
office department concerning the per
nicious political activity of Postmaster
Thomas, and for the further reuson that
the said Postmaster Thomas has repeatedly
said that he Is completely protected from
Investigation by reason of his political and
secret society pull,, and by reason of the
fact that he Is the president of the State
Postmasters' association of Nebraska.
"I wish further to say that this com
munication la written to you for 'the bene
fit of the service of the Postofflce de
partment of the United States and that
I am willing to furnish full Information
to substantiate this statement.
'I wish further to state that other em
ployes of the Postofflce department In
the city of Omaha. Neb., are afraid to
make a similar complaint for fear of los
ing their positions, or of being arbitrarily
reduced In rank, but I wlab to further state
that the said employes will give full In
formation to the Civil Service commis
sion. It being assumed, however, that the
Civil Service commission will protect them
from any undue punishment which might
be rendered on the part of tha said Post
master Benjamin F. Thomas.
"I sincerely trust that you will give this
communication your attention and that you
will call upon me to substantiate these
charges. Very respectfully years,
"DAN W. TILLOTSON,
"301 Fowler avenue, Omaha. Douglas
county, Nebraska."
Mr. Thomaa went to Lincoln Friday
morning. It was said at his office that he
would mak a statement concerning the
charges of the Tlllotson letter on his re
turn. '
