HARD FACTS.
Hutchinson's Array Of Falsehoods
and nisstatsments.
Regarding Col. Ben. Wilson's Con-
gressional Record,
Summarily Disposed of By That
Distinguished Gentleman.
kC,rd TO Which We Call the At
tention OF Cur workingmen

There appeared in yesterday morn
ing's issue Of the h'edigcIcsr an article,
under the caption OF "Col. Ben. as a
Dodger," having for its object the preiu-
dice Of our workingmen against our
present Representative in Congress,
which probably contains less OF truth
and more OF falsehood than any docu-
ment ever before published in that
strictly moral organ OF Il strictly moral (?)
party. and that's saving good deal.
The article in question was without
date. signature, or any other mark which
would give a clue to its author, but n
little investigation has traced IL through
u pretty straight course to Parkersburg,
where it undoubtedly eminated from
one John A. Hutchinson, candidate for
Congress on the Republican ticket. The
following card from Col. Wilson effect
ually disposes OF this attempt to misl,ad
the putlic, AMI We earnestly request its
careful perussl.

is now in Jail at Ellsworth. He was dis
covered in hay stack by two boys and
Immediately made for the woods, but
the citizens turned out and captured
him. He confessed to killing his daughter
and until arrested it was supposed he
had killed both of them. The youngest,
although terribly wounded, will recover.
Walton says he did the terrible deed to
prevent his daughters from coming to
shame or starvation through poverty.
Alter striking down the youngest
daughter he dragged her body to closet.

Upon call OF the roll the Ordinance
had received votes enough 10 pass 1t be-
fore nv name was reached. l therefore
stated the above fact with reference 10
these petitions and asked to be excused
from voting which was done by a unan
imous vote, as / now remember.
From the foregoing explanation 1T will
be seen that the author OF this libel has
been
Reckless in His Misrepresentation.
Everybody in this district who has paid
any attention to my action in Congress
is aware that was sick for long time
in the winter and spring OF 1876, and
my absence from Congress and my pair
ing of with other members is a matter
OF record just as the statement OF my
votes is a matter OF record.
II the intention OF the author had
been truthfully to present my record
upon these measures he would have
taken care to see whether l was present
in Congress and not paired with some
other member, before making the charge
that | had dGdged the votes. What
must be the desperate character OF the
cause which requires such false state
ments to bolster it up? | leave it to the
voters OF this district TO decide. | have
only 70 ask that they will repudiate the
cause and the candidate which require
such falsehood 10 help their otherwise
hopeless prospects, and that the people
will by their votes set the seal OF their
condemnation upon such attempts to
deceive them by such miserable prelen-
ces, and especially that they will give
no heed to this offspring OF malice and
falsehood which is sent forth without
paternity, and whose author is ashamed
to give it even doubtful responsibility
by atiixng to it the authority OF his
name. Very respectfully,
