and during that fall he was publically driven
out Of a Democratic Meeting in grove near
the city. He then made some "anti-Nebras-
ka" speeches and did the Democracy con-
siderable injury and by many it was tho the
would permanently identify himself with the
opposition. In 1866, he stood back however,
and said many hard things of Mr.. Chase, who
was then candidate for Governor (Mr. Ba-
ker being candidate for Secretary of State
at the same time, and from that time on, has
never identified himself with the Republican
Party and does not now do so. While Haus-
serack, Judge Stallo and other talented Ger
mans of Cincinnati have openly and boldly
come forward and united with the Republic
ans, and struggled with them, Reemelin has
hung back and whined and growled and show
ed his deep grounded locofocoism. He always
was an ultra, bitter, uncompromisingl ocofoco,
and it was a common remark for many years
that "he would do more low, dirty work for
that Party than any man in the State" He
has openly refused to 60 with the Republicans,
and shows his sympathies to be with the ultra
Pro-Slavery Democracy of Ohio; but is so dis
pissed and hated by them that he dare not at
tempt to ask for any prorninant position at
their hands for the present. These things
are known to be facts, and can be corroberat-
ed by thousand 'living witnesses"
1t is,also, a notorious fact, and one not to be
forgotten in this foul conspiracy against Mr..
Baker, that no Republican would consent to
serve on that notorious, one-sided partizan
commissioning with Edgerton and Morgan;
with the latter, especially who was the defend
err and protector of the notorious fugitive de-
faulter, Breslin. The truth is, this company
suited Reemlin very well and never did a trio
of old well-tried locofocos worked together
more agreeably. The report about which
so much has been said, is stamped all over
with partizan prejudice and feeling, and con-
tains any amount of inuendoes and prejudi-
cial reflections upon the leading Republicans
of Ohio 1t was intended from the beginning
as a locofoco electioneering document. 1t has
proven, however, to be very poor invest
nent on account of its bitter assaults upon
political opponents. 1t was before this COM
mittee Gin secret conclave it might almost be
said) that the one-sided testimony was taken
by which it is attempted to convict Mr.. Baker
and..others. 1t was all one way /; no notice
giren for cross-examination; no time nor place
specified, nor was it intended by this commit
tee that there should be. 1t would have spoil
ed the entire plan. Among others who were
most shamefully abused and malgned in this
report" by this extremely pious committee
of "old blue stocking" Sam Medary locofocos,
was the eminent Statesman and pure Patriot,
Salmon P. Chase In Ohio, it is considered
as an insult to popular intelligence to offer
this report as proof, upon the different
subjects on which it treats. So far as doing
justice to Republicans is concerned, it would
be as we'll to offer in evidence the malignant
scriblings of some PARTISAN newspaper.
The letter of Reemelin to Densmore exhib-
its the boldest deceit and hypocrisy upon its
very face, by using such terms as were intend
ed byhim to leave the impression here that he
was a REPUBLICAN and belonged to that Par
ty; when he will not have the brazen impu-
dence to dare intimate such thing in Gin
cinnat His contemplate conduct in this
respect is in perfect harmony with his past
career. Why is that Egerton and that other
pink Of honesty, Morgan, have not been cal
led upon to furnish their certificates" as the
other members of this delectable smelling
committee" this modern locof1co inquistion,
to some other terrible act of Bakers
Have they become such stencil in the nos
trils of their own party friends as to be drop
ped entirely, and "Republican" Reemelin left
alone to thrust himself forward at this late
hour to save the Democracy We insist
that every one of the "Committee' should
have come up to this highly commendable
work, and have joined in with Goodrich and
the whole tribe of Moccasin plunderers in this
State and set up one long loud yell in pursuit
of BAKER, and, ifpossible, literally extermin-
ate him-driven him from the State
All ! gentlemen conspirators especially the
old Golphinites and treasury leeches of this
State! 60 ahead in your lying and cowardly
assaults upon man, whose thrilling eloquence
and sarcastic tongue is daily laying bare your
rotten corruption and villainous deeds. Do
your best-crawl upon all tours and lick the
very dust of infamay, in connecting calumnies
against the object Of your malice: you will be
overwhelmed with ignominious defeat You
will get through with Baker for some time to
come. He will yet confront you in the name
If the sovereign people of Minnesota and
brand you as your unparalleled outrages up
IN him, deserve. He has "enlisted for the
VAR and his unfalling energy will yet make
you repent the day you commenced upon him
such an uncalled for, and dastardly attack /
An honester man than any of your whole |
