Being personally acquainted with Messrs.
Baldwin & Barney, the proprietors of the Je-
liet Mems, and knowing them TO be possessed
OF at least the ordinary instincts Of gentlemen,
we must ascribe to some low, dirty cartff
aside from the proprletors, the authorship of
the dasardly squlb that appeared in that pa
per few days ago in regard to Judge Stipp.
The substance of 1t was, that Judge Supp hav.
ing recently adjourned the court at Ottawa in
the middle of the week on account of "nabil-
ty," the dirty dog of the Ne'cs asserts that the
said inability" in question was but the swell
name in Ottawa for billing drunk" meaning
of course that Mr.. Stipp had adjourned the
court on account of drunkenness. The false
hood is damaging because outside of Ottawa

Judge Supp was given somewhat to strong

habit, and while he was candidate he so

found in the smallest degree under the nflu

REDELL,

One Redell creature who appears to have
been in the employ OF the noted star route thief
Dorsey as private secretary, publishes long
sworn statement In the New York Sun charg-
ing that he had been directly approached by
Attorney General McNeagh with offers Of a
bride to steal certain private papers belonging
to Dorsey that should show his completely in
the star route frauds, and place them in the
hands Of the prosecutors Of those thieves Now
as the statement of this man unfortunately con.
tradicts itself in several important points,
thus demonstrating its author by his own
showing to DO perjured falsifier, it is not sur
prising that little investigation shows HIM
up still further IN his true character. 1t is as
certaned that instead of having been tempted,
he himself was the temper 1t shows that he
went voluntarily to McVeagh and offered to
sell to the government certain of Dorsey
books and papers In his possession furnishing
proof both of dorsey and Bradys guilt in the
star route frauds, He actually had some OF
the books IN his possession when he presented
himself to McVeagh. Meantime Dorsey go,
wind OF what his faithful" secretary was at
and after getting over his fright which nearly
drove him out OF the country, finally got his
friends to work on Redell, and ia the end they
succeeded in buying HIN back to his allie

this malicious falsehood in regard to Nc
