UWe give the gentleman VIII" sign
ed the abnve card tho full benefit OF the'r
defence, IN ortle. the better To snbserve
public justice. and a, the same lime we
ppblish the evidence below at The request
flLnse who had the original article pub
hshed. These gentlemen did not ialIIy
meet The issues. There are lwo-yfrst.
they re.appointed Mr.. Braden in spite OF
the remunstrancs Of thirty one resprcIa
BILE cilizens residing in the vicinity Of the
Infrmary; and second. they did this, not
withstanding there were lower bids in,
1t is easy To say that the card was pub
Iished Ia raise dissensinns in The demo
cratic ranks with the faint hnpe Of elect
ing a Wing direcl0r--but any man of
common sense will scarcely believe this
when he looks at the Insignificant salary
and utter absence Of any political inhu
ence. and when he understands that the
remousirance would nol have been pub
Iished, had not Mr. Duncan been re.nnm
mated. II is easy to get men to say that
they did not see Mr.. Braden inhumanly
treat the inmates Of the In6rmsry, bu'
this will not suffice as an of sci to the ev.
idence Of good men who saw him do il.
1t is easy To say ;hai other bids we're put
| in and not considered f,Ir reasons SatIsfdc-
tOyy 10 tie Board. but not so easy to say
that Mr.. Braden was not re'apponted to
accommodate little clique in Pleasant
township. It is easy To cast reflections
