TETE TSIORJTTNG POST, B.UNDAY, APRIIi 24, IO04 t r : : ' - . . - ' a $ Graft in the Post Office Department J I A Speech Delivered in the United I States Senate. April 11, 1904 By H. F. M. Slmmtns of North Carolina speaking the staple truth. To be forced to a contrary conclusion by the devel opment or lack of development, since Saturday last, la anything: but pleas ing: to the Post." On May 1. 193. the Post published an Interview with 8. W. Tulloch, author of the "Tulloch charges." being: sub stantially the same charges made in the Post article first quoted, in which Mr. Tulloch. referring to these charge made by him in 19C), said: "Detailed charges at length were made, the names of competent wit nesses were given, and Postmaster Gen eral C. Emory Smith was challenged to make an investigation.' Those charges were treated as frivolous and civilly dismissed by the officials Involved." Mr. President, as the senator from Colorado (Mr. Teller), who has Just preceded me. has so well said, this whole investigation has grown out of the charges made by Mr. Tulloch. Fi nally, after much delay, an investiga tion of these charges was entered upon by Mr. Smith, then postmaster general: but. as that investigation proceeded, and ns the trail became hot. so to speak, and led in the direction of cer tain prominent politicians In the post office department, the investigation was suddenly called off. and the men who were engaged in making it were either removed from office or notified "not to be too xealous." Here is what Mr. Tul loch. in his interview Just quoted, says about the sudden suppression of this investigation: "Direct personal and political pres sure was then brought to bear upon the comptroller the Investigation was stopped Just as it was becoming Inter esting, and the expert having It In charge was removed for a too zealous performance of his duty, presumably as a warning to others." The expert referred to by Mr. Tul loch as having been dismissed was Mr. Thomas W. Gilmer, a man admitted by Mr. Brlstow and the comptroller of the treasury under whom Mr. Gilmer was teproper payment." the specific charges ! employed, to be a man of high charac- fcaritr under considera ton the bUl (H- njaking ap- Preprtation. for the Utt offlos department for he fls.al year ending June 30. 153. r.d for other purpose Mr. Simmer. said: Mr. President: la the speech deliv ered by the senator from Jln.

I Infer he understood my state ment was intended to apply to Post master General Payne. If the senator from Wisconsin had read the remarks which I submitted upon the frauJs In the post office de .rrr...t m January lt he would have seen that I acquitted, the present posfcnaater general of any willful pur pose to suppress these investigations and that my charge of reluctance in en tering ;on these investigations had reference rather to the late postmaster general. Mr. Charles Emory Smith, than to Mr. Payne, the present occu pant of that position, lg before Mr. Fmlth term of office expired, even in the early dsys of that term, charges were made; not Tsgue. general charges, but specific charges, mad by respon sible persons: made by a great inde pendent newspaper published In the eity of Washington, and he was chal lenged to make an investigation of thtm. He was Informed as to the char acter ef the offenses: he was given the causes of the witnesses, and yet he went eut of office without making any Investigation which was worthy of the same of an Investigation. In support of these statements. Mr. President. I then Incorporated In the Record an article from the "Washington Post, dated May 1900. which con- talced, under the head of "Instances of as its candidate for (he presidency. The senator from Wisconsin, quoting my language, -or at least part of It. and having all of It before him. fitted and applied that description to a certain distinguished citlaen whose name has been mentioned in connection with this nomination, and Intimated.

Are those qualities of a neutral character? I said a man of con servative disposition. Is that a neu trad oharacter? I said a man of equ able and poised mind. Is that a neu tral character? Are Judicial tempera ment, conservative disposition, equable and. poised mind and character neutral qualities 7 Are we to understand that in the opinion of the opposition a man possessing such qualities is not In these days a fit man for the presidency? They were qualities good enough for our presidents during the slow-going times of the nineteenth century: quali ties good enough for our presidents in the eyes of Washington and Madison and Adams; qualities good enough in the old times when our presidents con tented themselves with, executing the laws as they found them and left the legislature to make the laws and the courts to Interpret them; but qualities, I suppose, according to the views of senators oh the other side, that are al together unsuitcd for a president in these strenuous, piping, twentieth-century days.
