AN IMPORTED LIAR
The Two Chicago Men Who
Sneak at Bellaire Tonight.

but il seems not. At least the Repub-
licans OF Youngstown imported an out
side liar, whom they dubbed "Hon." A..
l.. Morrison, OF Chicago, and, after a
failure to secure him an audience in the
Public Square, they set him on the stage
at Excelsior Hall, at an expense OF fifty
dollars, themselves making the audi
ence, all to hear him get off the follow
ing Internal mess OF falsehood and pre-
varication:
al am sometimes amused and dis
gusted," he said, "at the the malignant
falsehoods circulated by the Democrats
here regarding men in the Republican
party to break the force OF the infamous
record of their own candidates. /
understand the assertion is made that a
bill was introduced in Congress TO pro-
cure the release of Fenians imprisoned
in Canada for participation i'll the mem
mOrable raid into that country, and that
it is charged that Charles Foster was
member of Congress and voted against
that bill. Now | take it that
no fair man would desire to
misstate the facts; and right
here on the threshold of my speech,
/ am going to denounce that state
ment regarding the Republican can
didate for Governor as an unmitigated
falsehood. The fact is the last OF those
Fenian prisOners-pOOr old Father Nc
Mahon-was released from prison in
1865. Charles Foster was not elected TO
Congress the first time until 1870. He
was was reelected in ~ and again in
~. ! will also say that no bill of the
charteracter charged was ever intro
duced in Congress that Foster could
have voted for or against had he been a
member of Congress for twenty years.
A resolution was introduced in Congress
requesting the United States Govern
ment to use its Influence in behalf OF
those prisoners. But that
was four years before Chas. Foster was
first elected to Congress. | am at a loss
TO understand how Charles Foster could
have voted against this resolution that
was passed two years before his election
to Congress. Perhaps these gentlemen
who are making these charges can re-
concile these differences. Ii 80, would
like.to see them do it,"
That the foregoing extract is tissue
OF lies and special pleading, by hired
liar and ignoramus, we offer the follow
ing conclusive evidence:
From the Congressional Globe, April Il. ISL
First Session, 42d Congress, Part , Page 3D.
MR.. KINSELLA-I move a suspen-
sion of the rules and the adoption of the
resolution which send to the desk
The Clerk then read Mr.. kinsella's
resolution, as follows:
WHEREAS, a conference is now being
held between high JOINT commissioners,
representing the Government of the
United States and that of Great Britain;
and whereas it is expected and desired
that the several questions which keep
up unkind feeling between the people OF
the respective countries shall be settled
through the labors OF such joint high
commission; and whereas the prolonged
incarceration in the prisons OF the Do
minion of Canada Of persons accused of
violating the neutrality laws is a source
OF irritation TO large number OF Ameri-
can citizens; therefore
R,Solrei, That the President of the
United States is respectfully requested
10 have the case of such persons present
ed before such joint high commission,
TO the end that their release may be
effected.
The yeas and nays were ordered on
Mr.. kinsella's motion, and the Ohio
delegation IN Congress voted as follows:
Ieas-Beatty, Rep, Lamison, Dem,
Mckinney, Dem, Morgan, Dem, Peck,
Rep, Perry, Rep, Van Trump, Dem.
Nays-Bingham, Rep, CHARLES
FOSTER, Rep, GARFIELD, Rep,
Monroe, Rep, John A. Smith, Rep,
VIM. Z. Sprague, Rep, John T. Wilson,
Rep.
Not voting-Ambler, Rep, Campbell,
Dem, Shelabarger, Rep, Stevenson,
Rep, Upson, Rep.
Mr.. kinsella's motion was lost, as two
thirds OF the Houac did not vote for a
suspension of the rules to pass his resO-
luton, and the House at that time was
at least two-thirds Republican.
Now the Fenian invasion of Canada
took place June /, 1866. A number OF
Fenian prisoners were taken by the Ca
nadians, and, on the Sth, the Canadian
Parliament passed law to punish for
eign invaders. This law could not
apply 10 invaders before the Sth,
and all the Fenians who COM
mitted acts of invasion before the pas
sage OF the law were released. But all
Fenian prisoners taken on the Sth, and
afterwards were kept in prison at the
date that Mr.. kinsela offered his reSO-
luton as above, which fact the resOiu-
tion itself declares. This was on April,
18th, 1871, which included Charles
Fosters first membership in Congress,
he having taken his seat on March
4th, 1871.
Charles Fosterhad therefore been in
Congress only a days when he voted
against negotiation for the release OF the
F5nian prisoners in Canada, who had
been captured on and after the Sth Of
June, 1866, or very nearly five years
before.
Charles Foster and James A. Garfield
voted together on this question, there
by declaring that they did not desire the
release of those prisoners even after
five years Imprisonment had expired.
This fellow, Morrison, who was
UI'NIul W lbuuESNpNH W NpullbNNlb
and deny this record of Fosters and
Gariield's conduct, is a liar and the
truth is not in him. Having told will
full and deliberate lie in the face of
the official records OF Congress, he is
not worthy to be believed on any other
subject.
The Republican investment in Nor
rison and his fellow pilgrim, Nowlan,
was very poor one. We understand
il amounted to some three or four hun
drcd dollars, and the quality of lies
they told the public here did not begin
to pay for the money invested. On the
contrary those lies have turned against
the investors, and Morrison and Now
Ian and their hackers will do themselves
a favor not 10 attempt any more living
impoStures upon the voters OF this
vicinity.
