1t seems from the dispatches from
Washington, published in this issue of The
ARGUS, that Congressman Springer has
not forgotten the rulings of the Infamous
electoral commission which gave to Judge
Bradley the name of "Aliunde Jo," and
took occasion to refer Garfield to one OF
them in the debate on the Florida cor.
tested case. Garfield does not relish the
idea of their "aliunde" chickens coming
home to roost.
