James II.

Every one has heard of this notorious indivi-
dual, and of the part he took in the election
frauds of 1888 & 1889. He was charged by the
Democratic papers, with the most enormous
frauds, on the elective franchise, and that many Of
the most distinguished of the Wings, of New
York, and Philadelphia, were participators in his
guilt. On the other hand, these charges were
stoutly denied by the Wings. The exposition
was made a short time previous to the President.
ial election of 1910, and was denounced as .
scheme, for making political capital for the Dem
ocraiic candidates. Glentworth has since bis dis.
charge from the indictment found by tn. Grand
Jury issued an address, in which he promises TO
give a true and impartial account of the whole
affair, from evidence in his possession. We
copy the following from the address and we
shall look forward TO the appearance Of his ex.
with some degree Of interest. {
