March II, 1883. !
To the Editor Of lhs " z Tribune:
DkAR SIR notice in your paper, as in 9TH
Eastern journals, an aliusion to the charges
preferred against me, Ju1ge of the Circuit
and Supreme Courts Of Wisconsin, by commit
tee of the Assembly of This State. You do not
understand perhaps, that this Committee, held its
sessions with cossd doors, aided by er parie coun
sci and by informers in conducting their exam
ination, but without the opportunity, on my part,
either 10 participate in to know their proceed
ngs, and that thc Report of this Committee,
drawn up by their counsel, was published by the
House, before it had seen the evidence on which it
was assumed TO be founded.
Did you reside IN this State, Gentlemen, and
know, both the manner IN which this most re-
markable array Of charges was procured 10 be
made and spread before tae world, and the parties,
who figure in the transaction, you would then see
how easy il is 10 accuse without evidence, and to
Willy, " here there has been no wrong
have demanded t,ioL promptly and upon all
the charges and specifications published against
me and upon its results 1 viii leave you and
your Eastern readers, who may have heard of my
name, TO judge Of my official character and con-
duct.
1t may not he the case m your State, but in this,
it is unfortunately true, that there is small
bination Of swindIiug schemes in Bank-stocks,
Railroads and lawsuits whose enmity is more
creditable TO a Judges integrity, than their most
ardent friendship. And this state of things is per
tectly well understood here, by the honest and in
telliEent people
remain, Gentlemen, your obedient servant.
