contest. the friends of Gen. Garfield seem rockies;
in their defence of their champion. There seem
to be no assertion too extTaYagant, in their abus
of Mr.. HutchIns.
Their general disregard of truth is as disgracefu
to themselves, asst is harmless to Mr.. d. Man!

But, among the many untruths spoken. written,
and TO be written by tbs Generals friends, it is
cheering to find one champion, who tells at least
one truth, and perhaps, two, all in one article.
