When Kelley, Killinger & Co. refused
to vote for him for Speaker because ol

SOMEBODY Either the Rad

about Garfield, and spread the lies
wrongfully upon the records, or they
must acknowledge that he is unfit tc

CERTAINLY NO COMPLIMENT One
of the heavy Stalwart sheets, in culo-

of his most valuable and conspicuous

We find the above squib in nearly
all our Radical exchanges. "Its
a nobby piece" If it is "Chris.
