In Octobcrit seems that tho money "a.
ken from the Sinking Fund TO cover up the
Trea.urers deficit had not yet been replaced
The elections were then at hand; Morgan
running on tho same ticket with Breslin,
with full knowledge that the Treasury had
boen robbed Of halt million---and every
State officer on the Democratic ticket from
Governor to Attorney General implicated in
the same guilty knowledge Did they not
10y this act become accessories 10 Breslin's
crime, il never beforei And Mr. Edpsr-
ton, too, consenting that the Treasury should
continue TO be robbed for another term by
Breslin, and willing to continue iocary our
"good States Securities which she bad
purchased and set apart as a sacred trust to
redeem the public debt, TO the hawk and
buzzard Of the stock market to assist il.
How do our 'cheeks tingle with shame"
at the picture our State presented previous
/
dered Of tbree-quartets of million, and
thcn the robbers had the brszen impudenco
to offer themselves THIRD time as candi-
dates for the approval of tho people they
had betrayed and robbed.
Morgan began TO get his sinking fund in
order, preparatory TO the change that WIS
then ominous In September he began to
try to draw some money out Of Bresin, to
make up the deficit. lie made a draft on
Breslin for $4,000 and sent it to Edgerton
for collection, with instructions to protest il
not paid promptly. 1t does not appear that
Edgerton did this. He first wrote Breslin
10 remit the money TO New York, and Bres-
lin failing to do this, he forwarded the draft
TO W. 6. Deshler, Of the Clinton Bank Of
Columbus, who took the pay in trops-as
he calls them, at various times, and the
whole was not paid till November 5th, for.
ty-six days after it was drawn.

Here Is letter from Morgan to Edgerton,
written just before election, which informs
him so particularly that the funds taken
from the Sinking Fund were only loaned
temporarily and were to be returned, that
it excites suspicion thatif it was not for Nor
gan's forebodings of the result of the cleo
, tion which just then was so inconvenient to
!. this gang, the re-transfer would not have
5 beer thought Of.
