person to oppose the reelection of the present
Representative, VIM. P. Taylor. Aware that
he would have opposition, we are heartily glad
that the canvass is to commence so soon. win
the exception of his condemnation of the late
high handed measures, connected with the re-
moval of the Deposites and of his opposition to
New York tactics and Mr.. Van Buren,, we think
it would puzzle the party opposed to him to set
forth the grounds Of their dissatisfaction. Are
they friends Of State Rights? So is he, heredl,
tarily and by conviction. Are they enemies OF
the Bank of the United States2 He is not less
sincere or Incorporating in his opposition
Do they hope to get Representative OF more

may oppose him.-Fred. arena.

Let il BE remembered that this extra allow
ance of $4,000 was made at the department on
the Sd of March, 1882 Jessy Tomlinson, one
of the partners in this line, testihes that he was
informed by Slaymaker, in the spring OF 1888,
that there was to be an extra allowance on that
lne and shat he fSlaymaker] was to let Mr.:
Brown have, or to give Mr.. Brown, $1,000 OF It, :
He further states. that in February or March,
1893, asked Mr. Slaymaker, and he told ME
he understood it was not allowed and that he
never knew of the allowance till he was called
TO Washington as witness. Here we have an
extra allowance Of $4,000 made in March,
1893, to reach back one year, and yet one OF
the partners of the line never heard OF it until
the winter or spring of 1884, and then it was
brought to his knowledge by the Post Office
Committee.
Touching this $4,000 there is another list of
evidence from one of the parties. s. r. Stay
maker, in his deposition, page 90l says:
81 was in the house Of MIR. Brown one morn
ing, when DR.. Temple called and offered his
property for SALE and said he was going to move
from the city. Mr. Brown inquired the price.
| think the Doctor asked $4,000. Mr. Brown
asked me, if he made the purchase. if could
loan him that amount at the usual rate of inte-
rest? | told him believed could, Some time
after, he informed me that ne would want the
money" SC.
The Reverend Mr. Brown got the money, as
appears afterwards, upon the bills of Reesde
and Slaymaker, bearing date the 10th January,
1888, at "he usual rate Of interest"

II is shown above that the contract price for
carving the mail from Philadelphia to Pitts
burg, and thence to Wheeling was $500. The
Postmaster General in his report of Sd March,
1884, states thus:
"No. 1881, ITO. Reside and Slaymaker
are the contractors for carrying the mail from
Philadelphia to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, three
hundred and two miles, twice day; and from
Pittsburgh, by Washington, Pennsylvania, to
Wheeling, Virginian, ffty-seven miles, daily, in
four horse post coaches from LIST OF January
1892, to 3lSt December, 1884, at compensa-
ton of S27 900 per annum."
Thus by the showing of this same Postmaster
General, his contract of Reside and Slayma-
ker has grown from SIS, $50 to $4,000 per an
mum, and all to be charged to the account OF
I" increased facilities" But this is not all, hear
him,again, in the same report
Sin consequence of the increased rapidly OF
this mail, the newspapers which were formerly
sent from the east by the other routes were now
sent upon this, and the general cry o. me p"o-
nc for the more rapid conveyance of newspa-
pers, required to be sen: in the more RAPID IN
stead of the slower lines, was contemplated IN
their proposals; which so loaded it as to almost
entirely exclude passengers. Ihey were, mere
fore allowed from the 1st April, 1882 for trans
porting all the papers by their most rapid time,
at the annual rate Of $4,000 additional"
Here is $4,000 per annum allowed in 1888 to
be computed from 1892, and upon whatpretence!
Why, that they had carried the newspapers IN
their post line instead of their slower lines as
contemplated in their proposals. Where is the
evidence that the proposals contemplated any
thing about the matter2 There is no trace OF
evidence to be found in the department that
their contract contemplated any thing on the
subject. The ground of this extra allowance
thus put forth by the Postmaster General, is a
mere assertion.
