sist him; was introduced to Harrington by
Nettleship, and had an interview on the
subject with Harrington at the latters
house, at which General Babcock was
present, the latter assured Miles that
Harrington's promises should DO carried
out. Miles speaks of a prominent official
who knew what was going on, and who
gave additional assurances of security for
the burglars. The name of this official
was given to the reporter in confidence,
but is not printed. Miles also hints at
the knowledge of other parties connected
with the plan, whose identity he accl-
IDENTIFY discovered.

The rights of every citizen are secured at

To cast into the sea the gallant crew
that had brought tho old ship safely
through dangers into port would be all
act of treachery that mankind would
abhor. Yet it would be less of crime
than the defeat of the Republican party
after its many years of heroic service.
1t has saved the old Ship of State.
Has this fact been forgotten by the
American people ? No! They remem-
Der it well, and always will remember
it. They know that the ones who now
seek to destroy the party are the ones
who led armios against the Government
which it defended. Ingratitude is not
yet dead.
