COlfsx Never KnOw.NothinK

To the editor Of the Tribune.
SR-On my return home from the ses
sion of Nov. 10th, find nearly a hundred
democratic papers from all sections Of the
Union, sent me by friends, containing vile
and scurrilous speech against foreigners,
said to have been delivered by me in 1894
or 1861 and which appears to have been
published, simultaneously and by concert,
north and south, east and west, IN the clos
ing weeks of the recent canvass.
! need not refer TO this wicked and malig
nant libel, now that the election ID over,
were it not that, having been SO extensively
published, from Maine to Nebraska, and
youched for as authentic by editors who
were supposed to value their character for
veracity, some honest persons Of one party
or the other, whose good opinions | value,
might suppose it possibly true.
Allow me therefore, to say, "a | did pub
licly in this state last month, when this cal
umny against me first appeared, that is, il
ersry iDord and syllable, forgery; that
nerer uttered such sentiments in 1854 n0l
an any other year, and the vulgar aud sour
rous language embodied in it never fel
from my lips, nor we're written by my pen
in that or any other theme.
Precisely this same speech was printeC
by the democratic papers in this state
number of years ago, and then attributed
Mr.. Wilson, who was n republican Candidat
for congress but, having been thus use
with effect in one campaign, 1t was reyamE
ed in the recent canvass, with my name Al
tached to it, by the same editors, every on
of whom knew that it was impossible for M
to use such vile language in a speech on an
subject.
1t will doubtless be used against some othe
republican candidate hereafter and | hay
felt therefore duty to expose its histor
and its falsity.
