Fourth-class postmasters and star-route contractors lobbied heavily against rural delivery. So, too, the opposition of the postmasters and star route contractors was intense. If postal services were privatized, postmasters would lose their favor. The powers of this crumbling ancien régime were the fourth-class postmaster and the stage contractor. The loose nexus of contracts among stagecoach operators, mail messengers, star route carriers, and country postmasters was largely unchanged from the antebellum period. In other cases, the department questioned postmasters' preferences to hire through kin and friendship networks. They offered character assessments for letter carriers, clerks, and even postmasters.

City postmasters had impressive political leverage at their disposal. Not only were inspectors in greater force, boosting the likelihood of monitoring for all offices, but their interests and ideology were now clearly aligned against those of postmasters. The first step towards obtaining a new route was an informal application from an individual or local postmaster, supported by a petition signed by 150 families on the proposed route. Fuller argues that few post offices were destroyed, due largely to local capture of the special agents and the resistance of fourth-class postmasters. This conjecture is perfectly consistent with the record of members clamoring for new routes while mutely receiving the department's proposed regulation to exchange postmasters for routes.
