Wrong Man. leader. as the factotum
and chief wire-puller
for Samuel j. Tilden in 1876, has not re-
tanned the highest opinion of Mr.. Til
denis successful opponent, and thereby
hangs a tale which Mr.. Weed himself
has been telling his friends quietly as
joke on himself, but always with the in
junction that they should not let the
newspaper men hear OF it. Mr.. Weed
wears soft, broad-brimmed felt hat,
of the Western style, known as
SLOUGH hat. Ex-President Hayes wears
the same kind of a hat. Not long
ago, while he was standing in the Fifth
Avenue hotel corridor, MIR. Weed was
approached by the venerable Senator
Morrill, of Vermont. who. with out
stretched hand, asked for his health in
a cordial way, and. incidentally, when
he had arrived and how long he was
going to stay. The questions were all
answered, with reserved surprise, for
Mr.. Weed, while knowing who was adj
dressing him, was not aware that Mr..
Morrill, knew him. The explanation
came upon him at last like a thunder
bolt when Mr.. Morrill, asked this
question: as Mrs. Hayes with you,
and is she Well?"

sufficient indications The story is both
told and denied that when Brice formed
his first law partnership it was with
certain Jim" Irwin, that they were
both Republicans, but that they thought
it necessary, as their county was Demo

Democrat. They argued for weeks as

FOR CARRYING MAIL
The Postmaster General Replies to the
House Committee Giving His Opinion.


WAsHISGroN. Jan. 2s
The postmaster general has replied TO the
request of the House committee on post
offices and post roads for his opinion on
House bill Il, l09, which requires railroad
companies to carry mails at rates of compen-
sation fixed by law. He points ou, the pres
ent condition of the law under which anv
railroad may refuse to take the mails and BY
which any department car may secure the
carriage by contract only. He shows that
the only legal alternative in the case of the
refusal of railroad to contract is to send
the mails forward by pony express under
section 1893 of the revised statutes
He presents an exhaustive argument in
favor of the constitutional authority of Com
gress In the premises and points out that il is
clearly conferred by the constitution and that
it is the duty of Congress 10 exercise it, He
says, "the present condition of the law un-
der which service may be stopped at the ca
price of the carrier constitutes a reproach to
government established to promotc public
welfare"
The committee this afternoon voted unan-
imously to report the bill fayorably.
The Postmaster General will tomorrow
communicate to the committee his vie 5 up.
