on its face fraud and swindle. We assert
that no such letter was ever written to the
Gazette from "Dun Glen, Nevada, but that
it was manufactured in Montana, and is
being pslmed of like the thousand and one
other malicious swindles, to try to gull

Clagett's first campaign speech was made ct

placed upon their sagacity and good sense
by the Toole men, in supposing they are
only susceptible of being controlled by the
lowest prejudices. Mr.. Clsgett is acquiring

the plan of warfare wsged against him,
