FORGERY In POLITICS.


The Courier dts Flats Unis, instead of frankly
admitting that il has been deceived, and acknowl
edeipp that the speech which it has attributed ID
Mr.. john N. Wilson Of Indiana 10 forgery, weakly
endeayors to defend tho fraud, and tries to main
tain that Mr.. Wilson may, after all, have uttered
the sentiments which 1t has alleged against him and
against tho Republican party. Thus, in it's i'm
preston of yesterday, the Courier urges that I" il
els remarkable that the denial of authenticity
&c comes from The TRIBUNE and from one of its
correspondents. not from Mr. Wilson himself "
In reply to this suggestion ask the attention Of
our contemporary to the following letter:

Will the Courier dss Etsts Unis now admit the
forgery? Or does it think that the desperate cause
which it serves would be too much injured by
allowing its readers to see the truth
