The papers that have SO long accused

him the apologies they owe. now that the
testimony of Tuition and Judge Bangs
has justified the circular to attorneys By
showing to what corrupt and excessveex.
tent the compromises with whisky thieves
for evidence had been carried, and how
Secretary Bristow exercised no oversight
over the practice in this particular now
that l'luford Wilson, himself ct swords

the committee that the President was ap.
parently sincere at all times in his desire
to prosecute the thieves, and that what.
ever seemed to justify an opposite infer.
ence was the result Of honest misconCep.
tion Oh tho Presidents part: now that
the testimony Of Wilson, Of Tuition and
Gavitt has shown how natural those mis-.
conceptions were, If indeed they we're
misconceptions at all and how much reas.
on tho President had to think that the
whisky crusade was being perverted into
personal assault on himself to help the
