An Unjust Accusation.

The9enemies of Hon. E. w Keyes
have revived .the old and exploded
charge that he was in some manner
implicated in the Milwaukee whisky
frauds few years ago. After thor
ough investigation of the matter at the
time, Mr.. Reyes was fully exonerated.
His vindication was SO complete that
his assailants even were compelled to
admit that Mr.. Keves had been un.
justly maligned. For reasons best
known to themselves, however, the
story has been revamped by Mr.. Reyes
calumniators, though it is doubtful if
many can be found credulous enough
to believe the allegations put forth. If
there is any one who either through
forgetfullness or neglect to acquaint
himself with the facts in the
case, has suspicion that there is
the least faint upon Mr.. Keyes, the
following letters upon the subject
should remove all such impressions:

investigation of all the facts before a

cutting officer for the Government, no

did not appear that you were in any

The only way in which your name

by the statements of one or two per-
