to rhs expense of Sl7 rs to send n half

tions as tO the Cabinet. 1t was placed
in evidence that Key did not know Of
the dispatch until months after he had
appointed Baker secret agent"
Now it would seem that sufficient
disgrace would attach to Hayes, Sher-
man & Co. frum their connection with
such ~scalawngs ms they made use OF to
accomplish their purposes, without the
Republicans grntuiiously blackeuing the
character Of every person against whom
anything is said in that connection.
Such a course indicates the timidity Of
guilt. Their attempt to prove that Key
did not know OF Baker having rec.m-
mended him for n Cabinet appointment
shows the folly they are let into by their
fears. We submit that it Is absurdly
unreasonable to suppose that Baker
when he applied to Key for q position
would have concealed from him the
fact that it was through his snggesifon
that he. Key. got his appointment in
Hayes Cabinet.
