Tribune charging him with sending unfrank
able matter through the mails under his
frank. Mr.. Cox made a long explanation Of
his course in tracing the package said to
have been illegally mailed. He presented
the report Of the postofiice inspector ia the
case Mr. Cox said he had called upon the
editor Of The Tribune and had been shown
the package, and while the signature was a
fair imitation Of his own it was forgery.

by him. He had endeavored to secure the
package for purposes Of evidence in the fur

Tribune refused to surrender il to him or TO
the postoiiice authorities The Tribune. he
said had apologized for the reflections cast
upon him, but had afterward repeated them

the postmaster general TO investigate the
case, and had received a letter from him
