TYNER'S PROTEST.
In a Letter to the President He
Asserts His Innocence.
IIc Also Declares MIR. Roosevelt was
Unfair In Endorsing Rrlstow's
Report without Hearing His
Defense Presidents Ac-
ton Extraordinary cd,
and Dangerous.

Washington, Dec. 7.-Mr. James N.
Tyner, who was assistant attorney
general for the postoflice department
until deposed on account of matters
connected with the postoflice investi-
CATION has forwarded letter to Presi-
dent Roosevelt which is in part as
follows:
"Sir: In your official statement as
president of the United States, ad-
dressed to the American public in
connection with the report of Fourth
Assistant Postmaster General Bris-
tow, on the alleged postal frauds,
you make certain statements con-
cerning my supposed connection
Herewith, which l take the liberty
of answering in order that l may
properly go upon your official rec
ords.
IL do not desire to question your
good faith or sincerity in accepting
the conclusion of your subordinate,
MIR. Bristow, and in Identifying them
with the weight of your high official
positions; but has it occurred to you
that. pending the trial of the three
indictments against me, based on
the allegations of the report and
without having heard one word from
me in my defense, your premature
and unwarranted announcement of
my assumed guilt and your call to
the court and jury to endorse the
same is, to say the least, eNtraordin-
ary and dangerous?
81 desire again specifically to deny
every one of the veiled charges made
/ by Mr.. Bristow in his report and to
call your, attention to the fact that
not one direct or specific charge is
made against me in the conduct of
my high office. nor has, nor can, one
cent of gain be traced to me. If my
life is spared | shall fully refute all
the surmises and insinuations of Mr..
Bristow and shall be able to show
the reasons which led him to with
hold from you full data and to gar
BILE, misquote and falsify that which
he did submit to you.
81 have tried by 40 odd years of
faithful service to my country to
prove my zeal, faithfulness and hon
esty in the public service and [ now
say to you, the president of the
! United States, my chief accuser, as
! if it were the last word l shall ever
utter, that in your we'll recognized
and honorable zeal for the public
good you have allowed yourself to be
deceived and imposed upon; and
while l cannot hope for hearing at
your hands, shall, at least, give my
self the wretched solace of having
denied these wrongs and of having
demanded that hearing which right
and justice ought to accord me-"

Columbus, Dec. 5.-At the meeting
Friday of members of city boards of
public service of the state, President
Henry BOIL, of the Columbus board,
lauded George b. Cox and advocated
"boss" system similar to that in
Cincinnati for the cities of Columbus,
Cleveland and Toledo. Bohl said:
George Is. Cox scrutinzes every ap-
pointment made in Cincinnati and
none are made except upon his rec
ommendation. The result is the pur-
est and most economical government
in the country. Toledo, Cleveland
and Columbus would obtain like re-
suits under like condition"
