New York Tribune Rep.).: Is ever,
Democratic Presidential campaign to be fol
lowed BY National scandal? The c;phers vert
wisdom, but there are symptoms Of a smell
now which will Ia even more puugeur than thai

Louisville Courier-Jour1a1(ch (cheeky Dem.)
The Morey letter-f fraud should be warnine II
