A month nearly ago | made a

and in the course Of that speech |
spoke of the very questionable
connection that James a. Garfield,
the candidate Of the Republican
party, had with the great Presiden-
tial fraud Of 1851. lspoke of his
connection as one double in its
character. aud worse than that Of
any other man now living. | spoke
Of him in connection with the pre-
paration of the case at New Or
leans FOR his party, and in connec-
ton with the fraudulent examina-
ton OF it at Washington and in
that double respect considered
him more responsible for the great
outrage upon the American ballot
than any other living man. APP

every charge, will make good to
the Intelligence Of this great au-

Isn't it remarkable that Jewet

transactions, which took place il

100000 Of people! Where are thu
other visitors of the Republican
party that went down and helped
Garfield to do that terrible worl
of iniquity at New Orleans! A
dozen of them went down, anc
thew we're closely united in al
their business. The Journal says
that ! produced no evidence e
