Government positions and have by word and

Washington, but the day has gone, and even his
defenders now agree with ex x.SenatOr Ilender-

the trial OF Avery was farce, aud the latter
ought TO be acquitted at once.
The case OF ex-Dstrlct Attorney Ward Of
Chicago Is not without important bearing. MIR.
Ward was the defender OF the White House In
