We have given more lately discov-

with allowing Mr.. Cokley to tell, as
be did before the Grand Jury, how
he "interviewed' Judge Dickinson.
Note, if you please, the positiveness
with which he swears to DICKIN-

PIERS, and you will no longer won
der why the Judge wasn't ready to
go to trial until after the question as
to the right Of the Probate Court TO
issue papers, was raised, and how un-
likely he would be to want to 60 to
trial, with that testimony hanging
over him. He knows he does not
want 70 go to trial, and his most ar
dent supporters know it, and they
understand, also, the bombast of his
demand:

It was the first time 1 had ever voted, and l

ton train and lived in Michigan. York said
he knew Judge Dickinson well, and said he
would give me a line to him. l went to Ere
mont and saw Judge Dickinson first in his
court room. had line to Richard Toban to
take me to JudgeDickinson. York gave me the
line. 1 called to see Toban, but he was not at
home, and then went to the Office of Judge
Dickinson. saw two men there, and wait
ed until they got through for my turn. After
they went out told Judge Dickinson that
had a line to Toban to fetch me down to him

Teban. He opened it and read it, then tore it
up and put it IN his mouth. He then took dozen

I gave to Mr. Dickman when was arrested.
He asked where lived and where l was born.
1 told him l lived in Ashtabula and was born
in Ireland. He asked me no other questions.
No oath l0GS administered to me, and no 1Cit-

er took out my first papers, and he never asked
me about them. Richard TOban saw me after
wards and told me that persons need not come
up, but send the list of names. gave the
names 10 Pollard 1 paid Dickinson nothing
for my papers. 1 did not offer to pay and he
did not ask me for any. When he handed
me my papers he said "that is all, ,"
Do you want any more positive
proof than this, and is it any wonder
that man like Dickinson should
turn his experience in issuing pa
pers, to account in issuing secret
circulars. He knew those papers
helped him to beat hts opponent for
Congress, and he knew a confidential
circular of the kind issued would
help him beat his opponents for the,
nomination. He had turned his bat
teries against his enemies with effect,
and then he turned them against his
friends. Papers have proven a
success with him, although too many
of them may prove his ruin,
Just see with what skill he ap-
proaches the subject, and how plau-
sibly he argues his chances of sue
cess.
CONFIDENTIAL.
SIR: We take the liberty of addressing you
in much earnestness to procure the re-nomina-
ton of Hon. E. F. DICKINSON to Congress.
The reasons are:
1st. That he has been always faithful
democrat, and has sacrificed more than any
other man in the district to sustain the organ
izatioR.
3D. He was soldier in the the Union army,
and appeals to the patriotic portion Of the
democracy.
Sd. He will be the strongest candidate, be-
cause, being a member of the Roman Catholic
Church, he will thereby command an influence
no other candidate can to the same extent, and
which is indispensable to our success, for the
Priests and members of that church will leave
no means untried to procure his election.
4th. By the usage Of the party, he is ent-
tied to at least the second term.
We therefore hope that you will use your
influence to procure his denomination.
MANY DEMOCRATS.
His friends deny that this was
ever issued by him, but Dickinson
himself has neUer denied it, and at
this late day, even if he did, he
could not expect to be believed, af-
ter allowing the matter to go so long.
Fraudulent naturalization papers
and confidential circulars, will orna-
ment his tombstone, after the 11th
of October, foI he will be found
signing Farewell, vain world, I'm
going home"
