The testimony given before the House
Committee on Post Onces and Post Roads On
Tuesday by Mr.. IIoLnRooK, formerly a special
agent Of the Post once Dspartm snt, affords
Interesting Illustration OF the oecuiiar charac-
terstics which distinguish Mr. JEWELS efforts
rs u reformer. Mr.. HoLBRooK has been con-
nected with the Post Onics Department for
years. and was one of the most Intelligent and
Trustworthy men In the service OF the Govern
ment. when Mr.. JEWELL was appoint d POST
master General he sought Mr.. HoLBaooKs as
ss,ancc for the purpose OF discovering the tru:h
about frauds which the latter ID unearthed
while acting as special agent and reported to
the dep lrtment without effect. Mr. HOLBROOK
gave the required assistance and was discharged
Tor his pains or. what amounts to the slme thinG,
he was requested by JEWELL to ten Ter his imme-
diate resignation. After leaving the service Of
the Government Mr.. HOLnnooK SAYS his rela-
tions With the Pos;master-General continued
pleasant until after the HTNEs-KrrrLE exposure,
and in the mean time he had furnished Col.
kSowLroN, Chief Clerk Of the Post Orlce De-
partment, considerable Information which was
used ~ developing tho facts Of those frauds
Now there Is no doubt that Mr., JEWELL, W hen
he solicited the aid OF Mr.. HOLBRoOR in exam
lining the abuses which had gained foothod IN
his department, was actIated by the best OF mo
tvcs. But when the Ring learned that the truth
was being told about their neftrious operations,
thoy at once brought very powerful influence
to bear upon the Postmas,er-General. Mr.. JEw-
ELL knuckled to that influence, and sacrificed the
honest officer who, at his own request, had dis
closed to hin the iniquitous practices by which
the Government was being dofrauded. 1t Will

called was just ike that of all the ballots before,
trilling losses here and there, but the totals
unaffected. When North Carolina came back
to him with all her IL votes she
received as prodigal ever was be-
fore Cheer after cheer rent the air. This how
ever, was small affair compared with the outbreak
of Blaine enthusiasm when Donald Cameron, lifted
up on his chair to the view of the whole assembly,
cast Ii votes from Pennsylvania for James G.
Blaine. 1t was an unpleasant task for Cameron to
perform South Carolina increased her vote to 10
for Blaine The result was 30S votes for Blaine,
and great cheer went up as defeat seemed averted
and victory almost within his grasp. Gov. Hayes
had gained only nine votes, standing now at l13,
two more than Bristow.
THE FINAL EFFORT.
Now the Convention broke up into great mob OF
gesticulatng and shouting men. This was the in-
terval which every man knew was big with the fate
the Convention. The hcarse murmcr that had
kept up its monotone all day, and could only be suf
fciently subdued by the gavel to make it possible
for votes to be announced, now rose to roar. Men
ran hther and thither seizng and pushing an
other aside. They quarreled and argued. beseeched
and pleaded and threatened some of the Southern
delegations. They almost fought, and here and
there you could see a man waving his arms in i'm
passioned speech to his fellow delegates. In the
Pennsylvania section it looked like Philadelphia
ward meeting when they begin to upset the tables.
After a time, which nobody measured for IN the
intense excitement all notion of time was forgotten
the great delegations bcgTn to go out ror c0nsulta
ton. Indiana went first with 80 votes and the
whisper ran swiftly about that Morton would be
withdrawn, and the delegation to take its
choice between Hayes and Bistow probably to lead
break for Hayes NewYork went out next
quietly, 20 strong, and Pennsylvania 5s strong
with their discounted Secretary at their heads
During all this time and ever since
the vote on the former ballot had been concluded
there had been convention. II had resolved it
self into great crowd struggling for life. There
was pretense of observing the rules of order, and
the Chairman made none. He moved OIL TO one side
and left them to their devices. II was a huge
primary meeting, with the greatest possible turmoil
After a considerable interval the delegations
found their way back. Il was hardly necessary
| to ask what they had done were to do. Defeat
for Blaine was in the air, and you could read 1t In
the faces of his trusted supporters. The rumor ran
round that Ohio and Pennsylvania were going
sodly for Hayes, and it found belief and unbeief
just as Blaine was supported or opposed. The mass
of his friends were stl courageous and hopeful.
They still kept then hold on tnelT own votes, a d
then did not believe Il stampede by the opposition
