No one. We think. can candidly
read the above affidavit, in this con-
nec,ion. wiihou, understanding the
situation. aud we shall therefore at
tempt no explanation. It needs none.

he could and did sign il, and for q

not give US that one now Simply
because that one was taken two DAYS
after his tCsrrolls) public statement
on the DAY Of the township caucus.

had persuaded him to deny The .fdcts.

no. permit il to be forgotten that it
is in express contradiction to wha, he
had previously said. Feeling the
need Of eKpla ming this away, in his
athaasi, Mr.. c, refers to the state
ment made bv him on caucus day,
and SAYS: "My admission of having

Had such been the fact, all he need.

would not have been the slightest ne
