Charles e. Smith, succeeded as
postmaster general by Mr., Payne, has
made public his reply to the charges
made by Mr.. Tulloch, in connection
with the postoffice investigation. Mr..
Smiths letter explains that all the
transactions described in the Tulloch
statement as irregular were examined
and a report was made to him, which
gave the facts and the explanations
in each case. These explanations, he
said, had never been challenged. The
explanations of the Tulloch charges,
Mr.. Smith says, have been on file since
1889. Most of the explanations are
that military exigency justified the
course taken.
