A STRANGE COINCIDENCE.
Editor Smith on Postmaster General
Smiths Discovery.


From the Philadelphia Press To-day
The letter OF Fourth Assistant Postmas-
ter General Bristow relating to the Tui-
loch charges. and the papers given out
with 1t last week were so mutilated and
perverted in the publication as to create
an entirely erroneous and unjust impress
sion. In order to assure a right public
understanding former Postmaster General
Smith has deemed 1t best to make an ad-
ditional statement and this statement Is
published this morning. 1t shows the fol-
lowing facts:
First. that the Tulloch charges of al
legged Irregularities in the Washington post
office. which are now given in complete
form as never before, were submitted to
Postmaster General Smith at the time they
were made in 1890: that Mr.. Smith, instead
Of doing nothing about them. as Tulloch
falsely asserted. subjected them to a search
ing examination through the proper officers
and required a detailed report on them:
and that this report, which is given in full.
proved that the charges were wholly I'M
founded. except with reference to half a
dozen or SO minor appointments which were
promptly corrected.
Second. that the inspectors report on the
same alleged Irregularities, made In 1899.
was identical with the Tulloch charges. ex-
cept that some items were elaborated a lit
tle'mOre and some a little less, and written
by the same hand in the same language.
LII otHcI WOEuS, 1uiiOCH not only mace the
charges. but made the inspectors report.
The two documents are one and the same
thing. and when the entirely different and
special report which Postmaster General
Smith required in 1899 showed that the
Tulloch charges were groundless. it equally
punctured the inspectors report the one
being only copy Of the other. So much
is clear.
When the Tulloch charges. originally
made In 1899. were recently repeated. Post
master General Payne asked Fourth AS
sistant Bristow. among others. to state
what he knew about them. Mr. Bristow
replied by making no statement of his own
upon the charges. but by handing a copy
of the inspectors report Of 1899, referred
to, which was the same thing as the Tul-
loch statement. That is to say. his reply
was as If he had said: I'm response to
your inquiry as to the truth or falsity of
the assertions of Mr.. s. w. Tulloch, l beg
to hand you the assertions of Mr.. s. W.
Tulloch.' That Is exactly what his reply
was tantamOunt to. His reply was founded
wholly on the inspectors report; the in
spector's report was a repetition of the
Tulloch statement in the same language
and manifestly prepared by Tulloch: it falls
to pieces when the Tulloch statement is
shown to be baseless: and when 1t falls
to pieces the Bristow letter falls along with
the only foundation on which it rests
