4 whole CARLOAD OF false rumors," which have
PUZZLED me and all our Democratic friends here
about no liule. n hard swearing would clear them
up, we could gel on without your kind assistance
bai the Internal Wings cali for the proof They

dence, and make us toe the mark.
Bur 10 the 81 false rumors"-I heard rascally

our; so told EN-, twas all Wing lie, that would
take my corporal oath on II. couldn't believe ~
didn't stand TO reason, that you great men IN hicn-
mond would call upon Us common folks to gun our
corn fields IN put down the Monsters while you
we're all the time going for them yourselves. But

In any other way, TO deny that Judge I. was the
President of the Convention People don't under
stand how Bank man Is the leader of the hard mo
ney Democrats, and to confess the truth, the things
looks ugly.
Another " false rumor" Of the Wings Is that yoH
are an arioerat-hat you love rich folks better than
YOU do poor folks, and would rather drink wine with
Grandees than 60 TO iatoe hole dance They say
it is strange that you who make all The rag money,
and get your living by II, should go SO tight Tor
hard money. ! don't believe a word Of this but
send me contradiction In black and white. They
say, too that Judge Parker and Judge Nicholas and
Judge p. v. Daniel, who go tor rotation in ofiice,
have notion Of giving up their Offices and that
they love their salaries better than they do the peo-
pie. Wen have hard work to put down all these
