About two months ago man, calling himself
W. II. Hayward, came to Marietta and stopped
at the Mansion House, where he has SINCE made
his headquarters. He talked publicly, as though
bis sympathies were with the South, wished
that they would come and take tho damned
town (Marietta), thought thirty men could do
IL, and was always pleased, when the bows call
ed him "secesb." He went to Morgan county
about six weeks ago, where he remained about
one week. While there he attempted to organ
ige secret meeting Of the Democrats, but we
believe failed. Immediately after his return
from Morgan county, be went into the western
part OF this county among the leading Demo-
Gratis, and attempted to organize secret meetings.
A few of the Democrats regarding him as an
"Abolition spy" met together with him, heard
him talk and plan, ETC., etc., and then reported
the proceedings to US, and to the Democratic
Central Committee. When he first came here
he was anxious to be In our company, and al.
ways had the best of cigars, and took unneces.
savy pains to furnish Us with superabundance
We had many private conversations, but being
Union man, he never had the audacity to pro.
pose to US secret organE,tio He talked
with a firm Democrat at the Mansion House,
whom he thought he could delude and ensnsre.
He said, that there was O secret organic alton
all over the State of Indiana, that be had been
In the lodge, that he knew them, when he saw
them, and that majority of the people here
were ready to rebel against the Governments, IL
they only knew their strength. To all this he
received no encouragement, but the contrary. 1.
These several facts and others being reported
to us, we set about to discover his mentions
We knew that there were no secret meetings Of
the Democrats In the North, because, 1t is con-
trary to the principles of the party, and we knew
that his conduct could only be explained on the
ground that he was here, hired by the Republi.
cans, for the purpose Of ensnaring Democrats
and having them arrested just on the eve OF
election, thus to iniure their success. We laid
plans much too deep for his shallow mind and
for his evil minded employers. WeDow expose
the whole thing, 'a-
Said Hayward was brought here by the lead
ing Republicans of this place. Mayor Chaplin
and Col. Birher of Harmar have furnished
money to said Hayward to pay his expenses
Tho cigars we smoked for several weeks were
paid for with that money Hayward reported
to them that We were good Union man. Hay.
ward reported many false things concerning the
Democrats In the western part of this county
Hayward rode Chapin's horse In the night into
the country. Chaplin furnished horse to ser.
want to carry message to the country to brine
one of these Democrats to Marietta. The hire
of horse and buggy at the livery stable for Hay
ward was paid for by the same men. The board
of Hayward at the Mansion House and all hi
other expenses, to o sum exceeding one hund
red dollars, have been paid by said Mayor Cha
pin aud Col. Barber. We believe a commi.te
furnishes this money. Considerable Is no,
due Hayward. Other facts are known sufIi
cient to convince reasoning mind, that th
leading men Of the Republican party aud th
candidates for Office generally in that party hsv
depended upon this nefarlous scheme for thei
success at the coming election, and hence th
crYa Of ''No.party." They expected to enua
q lev Democrats, Or 70 arrest q few Democrats
and then cry "aecesh" and s.trAitor" with suc
I vehemence at the polls as TO prevent Demt
Gratis and other loyal men from voting. Bt
!. they have failed. ~
