The Pclla Bt0te OF la,, week bold-
~ brings against Mccormack, of the
Democrat the charge made against
him in our PrIla correspondence,
namely: that after the Grange Con-
ytuii0n he wrote 10 pro'nIntht
Democrat in P.iia advising that the
Democratic Convention should ell
dursr the Grange ticket, and then
that Democrats should vote for the
men of their own party on that tick
1T and scratch the Republican por-
ton. The Bktde says further: "The
proof of this fact will be fprihcOhiing
if required. Johnny, can you nail
it?" 1t also advises Republican in
and out Of the Grange, to note the
fact ana "Grant him the reward his
political rott"nnrss 80 justly ne

self and those to whom the law shall
finally give the money. He further
expresses the firm belief that the
Court at its next session will order
the refunding Of the money to those
from whom it was collected. Then
each man will receive his own, with
interest. The responsibility Of his
action Mr.. Baker carries upon his
own shoulders, and has no disposi.
ton to shift it upon his party or any
other person or persons.
This matter is being used very in
dustriousiy against the Republican
party and against Mr.. Welch the
Republican nominee for Treasurer.
The people must Judge whether or
not any wrong has been done, and
whether it should reflect upon any
man or men now upon the Republi-
can ticket.
