The fact that thisngentleman is Receiver
Of the Land Office do| ng the heaviest bust
ness in Minnesota, and that he has uniformly
conducted thst business With sdchs ksekfty,
ability and courtesy as to win for himself
praise and admiration from all, regardless of
political prejudices and personal feelings, and
for the office the reputation Of being the best
conducted in the State, is the only charge that
the most venal Of the Republican press can
bring against himj ata| il is on( WHICH will
he sustained by' the testimony Of every
BUSINESS man VINO HIS had connections with
that office, Of every lawyer who has prac-
ticed init, and Of every settler in this land
district, who is under Obligations for the
prompt and impartial manner in which his
business! has been transacted there, and one
to which MI, Graham may he proud to plead
guilty. ';Yet it is made in >, manner that
would leave the. impression that, in Reppbli.
can eyes, to be xfaithfal, upright and gen.
tlemanly public officer was a d,shonor, "a
digrace, and something beyond their com.
prehension. 0s5 "52H"m!H3o II E1a<
In connection, however, with Mr.. Gra.
hams anti Republican p conduct, in being a
good officer and an honest man, it is, not d.
rectly charged, but, sort OF .mysteriously
limited around, that. he Mentto Washington
to hasten tho sale Of public lands. This
extraordinary and mystical u revelation; as
the manner Of telling IT would lead one ia
suppose, is base and understandable insinu.
alton; and directly contrary to hereal' facts
tof the case; " ich are, that when Mr.. Ora

he~Republicahs knowing that ,hisl. ability
and integrity cannot bc questioned, are nm.
generously and dishonesty disposed to seize
upon the smallest, circumstance upon which
they can throw shadow Of suspicion. Blu,
they have not found speck on his. record
and, convinced thai they will not, they stand
trembling to think Of the endorsement thai
