suggesting that the author of that extraordi-

dispatches had the same dialect; that the man

and the same person with the man who tel
egraphed Patrick that if "the obligation was

was "mcremable slightly, if necessary" What
is said in Jest turns out now and then to be

recognition of his claims.
Perhaps it would be just as well to note first
the terms on which Mr.. Marble stood with the
Democratic candidate for the Presidency
Here, for instance, is dispatch in which Mr..
Marble talks very sharply to Mr.. Tilden's per-
