The T-i6une's Washington special
says Republican lawyer connected
with the Louisiana case said to-
night, 1--WE cannot at present give
our side of the Louisiana bribery
story. The Democratic committee
under Dudley Fields leadership,
will conceal from the Republicans
in the case, and possibly the Demo
Gratis hope to prevent its being made
public at any time. All I can say is,
thata damnable conspiracy will be
shown. In few days we shall be
able to prove this to the satisfaction
of every honest man in this country.
Meanwhile tell the people of the
country not to be disturbed. The
whole story is a conspiracy of per-
jured and indicted thieves and
scoundrels, and when the truth is
told the public will be startled"

Maddox to be scoundrel, and re.

the rebel army, was intrusted with
tobacco to sell in the North, but il
