We call our readers to witness that no

that he should not run. This WIS the.
only fact known to Nh. Rankin at the
time the letter was written. Was this
sufficient ground for charge of fraud !
Judge Steele would say he had changed
his mind, as has since been said.
1t WAS the facts which afterwards
came to light as to Judge Stcclr'>

conceived plan. To remove all apprc-
hensiun from the minds of Judge Pu-

None of these facts were known ut the
