LErB w. PUBLIC oPINIoN-NIKE PEETs On WHICH
TO SQUASH.
l. 1t having been decided by the judges Of oul
courts that money obtained in any manner. how
ever irregular and contrary to law If for political
purposes are sufficient grounds on which to
quash an indictment
g. That the moneys gotten from Greeley were
used for political purposes. Simon got part
Hughes hankered for some, and . part was used
in getting up the Palatka meeting.
g. Hughes either paid Leib's fare from Balti-
more to Jacksonville or Leib paid Hughes fare,
mot materially which brought to Florida two
valuable and necessary managers of the Republi-
can party.
L. The greenness On the part of Greeley to
loan money TO Leib on such wishy waahy seeusi,y
as Hughes or Simon is evidence of O want of eO0i
judgment, and he (Greeleyl deserves TO lose and
will lose
5. That to be an A0nored and active member of
the Republican party it is essential to be crimi-
nal in some form, and as the defendan. had no
fresh case of rascality on hand for immediate
delivery, it necessary to get up one that could
not be denied to secure recognition of ability to
serve the party faithfully beyond question.
8. That as Republicans we recognise the right
to rob and steal from one another, whethar
money, character or votes, and it has 80 bees de-
cided by our leaders.
7. That in DeGolyer we find one of the most
liberal bribe and money takers of the age-a big
thief in Presidential steals and paying jobs-and
We recognize in him leader we should follow
in all the little records of disreputable acts that
emnenly qualify man to be candidate of the
Republican party.
8. That Leib. Conover and Hughes, in order to
repair the imaginary damages in the loss (as well
as the feelings OF Greeley will jointly and sew

which Mr.. Greeley's prospects might be increased
for reimbursement at some future time, thai he
can at least live on hope. Conover, for himself

promises when Simon is elected and he made
Attorney General. according to promise from
Simon, that he will recognize the little debt and
pay it of by legal advice. Leib, (while little
stubborn,) has agreed TO give Greeley two votes
to cover the advance for electioneering purposes,
one vote payable when he dies, and the other
payable when he comes back, and insists this h
ample security, and that Greeley should not

and if he don't he may whistle

Of the parties in this case and the favorable terns
