The above Interview will give the reader somo
idea Of the sort Of nan that tho 14,net brings
foswarl 70 bolster up, an Infamous charge
| against Gov. Hayes. Mr. lioughton Is not
blacktnailcr Leroy. It is shared BY this
entire community. 1t is safe to say thai
not man here would believe HIM upon

times during his stag tn the city, and half doz-

euon move from his present quarters, he will
have an army Of Indignant creditors marching
down there after him.
This, then, is the llistory Of the man who had
so much regard for honorable and fair dealing;
wlio, beyond . doubt, manufactured the So
called "tlird letter" Of Cor. Hayes, and who,
Of courac, cannot produce the original copy.
Thas Gov. Hayes is right when l.c says I.croy

honest Democrat Gun deny after reading tho

The whole story Is based, rs tho Times writer
