his charge of fraud and corruption Oh the
part of the Republicans:
Hon. II. B. Wright, Chairman Democratic
State Committee Of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia
l observe in the press despat ches OF to-day a
card signed by the Republican State Execu-
tive Committee, in which l am charged with
wiful Justification when l asserted that the
Democratic vote is &c, 600 larger than was
cast for any man ever elected Governor of
Ohio, that our defeat the result of The
most lavish expenditure of money which
ever characterized political contest, the
colonization of fraudulent voters, and the
introdu uction of the false Issue the public
schools, which excited the, prejudice and
bigotry of religious hate. The denial is
marked by the same subterfuge which has
been practiced by the Republican Executive
Committee throughout the contest when it
has appeared in public. II will be observed
that the denial is only given to that part of
my dispatch which refers to frauds perpe-
trated and lavish expenditure of money, and
this is qualified by the contemplate ruse
that the Republican of this Slate had not
contributed the money for corruption. L am
aware of the fact that the Republicans of
this State contributed scarcely tithe of the
money used, and the qualification Of the
committee is a weak invention. L uuhesi-
tatingly reasscrt every statement of my dis
patch The Republican Executive Com
mittee, like all parties who commit crime,
or who are accessory Ihereto realize the in
fanny, and, like TIE criminal. are quick in de
nial. A thief or murderer pleads not
guilty wien arraigued. Would this Repub-
lican Executive Committee do Iess?
