The Toledo Postmaster,

We hNve already devoted moro space to
this question tlIan We intended when we
first alluded to it, Having given the state
mcnts Of Mr.. SHERWOOD and the denials OF
Mr., REED as to their correctness, and hav-
ing called upon Mr.. SHERWOOD for the
proofs upon which his statements were
based, il is now due TO ourselves to say that
we have been furnished an opportunity to
examine certain documents, which contain
the following statements in substance. We
have been shown paper addressed to Hon.
I. W. FERRY, chairman of the Senate Post
Office Committee, and signed by a large
number of local officials of the city OF
Toledo which sets forth that charges of u
grave character against Mr.. REEDS political
integrity are being prepared and would he
forwarded to the committee at an early day.
These charges, il Is represented. are based
upon case that is pending in the Lucas
County Court.
We have also been shown the copy of q
letter addressed to Hon. d. NJ. KEY, Post
maSter-General, of date Of Toledo, June 10,
1877, and signed by the city and county of
Gcials to the number of fourteen. and some
five or six bankers and other citizens, which
sets forth that the rumOr that Capt. Dow
LING, postmaster, is to be removed and
ALEXANDER REED appointed creates gen
ernl indignation.
We have also been shown an affidavit
made by {. BRONSON, charging Mr.. REED
with an attempt to blackmail him. In con-
nection with this we have been shown a let
ter from Mr.. REED, which strongly in
dorses Mr.. BRONSON AZ Il citizen Of good re-
pute
We have also been furnished with tclc-
gram affidavit from Mr.. BRONSON, of re.
cent date, which says of Mr. REED: ~ con.
slider him unit to be intrusted with govern,
ment or any other public business"
We have also been shown letter from
Hon. J. d, Cox to Hon. STANLEY MAT
THEws, protesting against the removal OF
Capt BOWLING, for the reason that it
would he violation of the principles OF
civil service reform.
With this bare statement we propose 10
dismiss the subject which has already en-
gagged too much time and space for this To-
cality.

both those Senators having voted in such
