Evarts Against Evarts.

William M. Evarts is one Of Mr.. John

in labored speeeh-making to c. nvince
the Senate that be is not guilty of the
crimes charged against him. On the
other hand Mr.. Evarts addressed The
great Republican mass meeting at
Cooper Institute, New York, onthe 10th
of October last, in a speech of a quite
opposite character.
One of the chief nottOps over the
Speakers stand was, ANDREW JOhu-
