Baker! Morgan is the sole authority LOT
everything that has been said against nm.
And now let us look at the character OF TINS
man Morgan, who to divert attention from
his own acts, assumes to stand up in Judge
ment against his betters,
Morgan, when elected to the Office OF Audi
tor of State, was Treasurer Columbiana Coun-
ty, Ohio and when he resigned the latter once
detics Of over too thousand dollars a0as to"nd
in h;s accounts, part of which deficit was sup
nlied when he and Rreslin assumed joint con.
troll of the State Treasury, but q portion Oh
which, through legal technicallty' s''"
stands recordd againsth him!
Breslns defalcation became. known in the
summer of 1857. In the spring OF 1900
Morgan and Breslin, as rogues sometimes do'
fell out, a4qat that tilHHe Morgan stated pub
licly and privately in the streets Of Columbus
and elsewhere, that Rreslin was misappropri'
ating the public funds and predicted that
he would turn out defaulter. He charged
Breslin with being Odd scoundrel,"
} corrupt as hell" and used other expressions
of similar character, which, however, were
, general y disbeleved, as Morgan was known
to have peculiar penchant for lying These
: things were produced against Morgan by Col.
E Sohouler, oftAe Columbus Journal, and Nor
gan never dared deny them. But mark the
f SEQUEL. From the bitterest and most malig
= nant enemies, Morgan and Breslin, honest and
e delightful pair y in the softening and genla
n atmosphere Of the Treasury vaults, again be
f, came as loving as Damon and Pythias; ant

t. their respective offices, and ran upon the sam

p cessary upon this ?
D. But let me allude to one more eharg
n against this honest and upright accuser
is Mr.. Breslin, again promising that Col. Schou
h er branded it upon Morgan's forehead, an
to there it still remains in all its hideousness.-
n During the brief time that Bresl'n and Morg
q. an were at loggerheads, an Offer was made b
re responsible parties to purchase the stocks
K par owned by the State in the Mad River an
If Lake Erie Railroads, and which were deposi
in ed in the Auditors Office. Morgan, as Aud
:" tor, was authorized to dispose Of them, an
OF was urgently solicited to do so, by all who ha
to the interests of the State at heart. This Mo
Ii. gan refused to do-and why? Because,
st he alleged, he kneu Breslin MOULD misqRp
ne the money!! And before Morgan and Bresl
on reconciled their differences, the capitals
Of who offered to put the stocks in the hands
OF the Auditor, invested in another dlrectio
Ia which deprecated the bonds from par to
I'VE mere nominal value, and the State Of Obi
ny through the corruption of Morgan and
or confreres, lost in this single transaction mo
than three hundred and fifty thousand d

uc- But it is unnecessary to multiply facts
ye break the "made-up" evidence OF Morg
eye AGAINST Baker. In the vOluminous polite
on, electioneering document, yclept Report OF
OK Investigating Committee, written by Morg'
Every variety of insnuation and innuen
against score of the best citizens OF Ohio
is INDUCED in for no other purpose under He
en- than to shield the guilty parties by rails
sig a false scent. This report has been so &C
mt pletely riddled by every Republican paper
ces the State, that it has become the laugh
nng stock of all parties, Many respectable d.
y" ocratc papers, when it made its appearan
Mr.. were so struck with its injustice and unf
om- ness, its false reasoning and falser statemeI
un- the Jesuitical and demagoguical character
Els the whole affair, that they gave it but Ii

'ne been laid on the shelf as an unworthy, ~

"'t Such, Mr. Editor, is brief review OF
IT, CAMS character. Every point made car
ou' substantiated, and close by asking,
0og- weight can be given to any charge set at
