WMhltiftton. My 18. Th full text
ot th formal charges of Irregularities
In the administration of postal affairs
preferred by Seymour W. Tulloth.
formerly cashier of the Waslongton
city ptofflce, has been made puMIc by
Mr. Tulloch. The charges are embod
ied In a letter to Postmaster General
Payne In response to the latters re
quest to be furnished any Information
that would substantial published
statements of Mr. Tulloeh. Sime of
the mattera complained of will be in
vestigated immediately by the inspec
tors. Mr. Tulloeh says that in all instan
ces of irregularity and favoritism,
the proper allowances, records, vouch
ers, etc, were, most carefully executed
and kept, -as a rule, and little Informa
tion can be ascertained by their in
vestigation ; that the resil facta, behind
the allowances and voucher, are not
of rvord and are known to few

fr rwot "the conduct Of affairs be

and ths post-office department was
regular; then came the nrtt break,
the precursor of a system of allow
ances to the Washington post-office on
account ot departmental expenditure
which afterwards led to trregularitte.
abuses, extravagance, and my removal
as an obstacle on June 10. 18S9. Mr.
Shepard. tbea chief of the salary and
allowance division, desired a Ble case
for the use of his office. His requisi
tions were turned down by his superior
officers. Later voucher were present
d to me for a file caae, accompanied
by an allowance for lu payment out
of the funds of the Washington office,
made by Mr. Sbepard, and atsned by
tba first assistant postmaster-general.
I directed the contractor to obtain
a certificate of delivery of tt goods.
Nr. Shepard refused o acknowledge
the receipt of the goods, fearing an ex
posure during the audit of the wien
er, and 1 refused to pay for the case
until some on was willing to father
the same. Soon after the McKtnley
administration came Into power the
first assistant postmaster-funeral tent
bis clerk down to me wttfc a voucher
for a lump sum for traveling xponsea,
.ymnanid bv an allow- xJ tbelr
payment from the funds of the Wash
ington office. Such a demand was Ir
regular on its face. But tne official
became very angry at the idea of a
mere cashier attempting to make any
suKpestlons to 'him. and refused to
amend and Itemise his voucher. Tbe
postmaster-peneral explained to him
that I had only asked for what was re
quired by the auditor and according to
precedent. The postmaster, upon bis
return, stated the official bad said:
'Look here. now. this is a new admin
istration and a new crowd and we in
tend to create our own precedents.'
The auditor for the pom-office depart
ment finally sent word through the
postmaster that on account of the feel
ing shown in the matter, if 1 would in
close the vouchers in my next account
1 lu Informality would be overlooked.
An inspection of the Washington ac
count will show many similar subse
quent paymenu of traveling and other
expenses on account of -deparmental
and other oflicials without the usual
departmental checks.
Considerable feeling was manifest
ed toward ni? in the ofln of the first
assistant poetnuusier-genera! because I
would not pay vouchers for service or
supplies upon personal request or by
direction over the telephone.
