quotes from northern writer's, adding
the fact that l had never contradicted
his statement made IN speech nine
years ago (erroneousiy assuming that

duces a witness, designated as the ed
itor OF the Omaha Bee, who testifies
that he reported my speech and teIe-
graphed 1t to Nashville, DC, &c. dis
present location suggests his former
sympathies, and his associations IN
Maryland show his political creed.
do not know to whom to apply TO
find out about this witness, and the re-
ported speech. The statement 10 GER
tainly false, and the manner in which. 1t
Is made shows the intent.
Under those circumstances I turn to
you, as likely to know some one there
in Stevenson, who can tell about that
telegraph operator and about the
speech, If made as stated. l regret
not having copy OF my letter 70 Mr..
