The foregoing is a copy of the leading h

Dee %, and inasmuch as il contains o
certain direct aid obliGGie charges which i
have long stood against Mr.. Jones, Ut
answered, we propose to deal with the q
i;i.ne plainly, and, 50 far as possible, 5
With detnitcness The first accusation e
,omes iii tie shape Of an inuendo, and t;
the idea that Mr.. Jones, AZ oue h
period of his candidacy, was not in ac- i
ord with his party concerning a choice t.
If General Grant as its candidate for s.
he Presidency. Ii is possible that he
nay have preferred some one else than Ia
Grant, as the nominee of the Phiiadel- il
}hia Convention, but the open history IL
If his actual operations in the field ci
hows him to have been heartily in syin- ii
,athy with the party, after it had made b
Is nominations when he became its y
1ost prominent and efficient supporter al
The second charge is more explicit "
nd conveys the accusation that Mr. e.
ones did, actually, carry ont a public IL
cclaraiion of his intention to buy up fe
nouch votes to ensure his election. Ia G,
RIDER to answer this charge as it should c.
