We brand the charge as base fabrica-
ton in the aggregate and in detail, and we

Tom Davis by collecting his fees as dis
trict attorney by advance orders ON the
treasurer, not even allowing him to han.
die his own earnings lest they should be
carried to New York and gambled away
as was done before. the
man who betrayed Mr.. High in 1873, and
caused his defeat, because, as he said OF
him, Amos Rutter and other candidates,
they belonged to the "God and morality
party, two elements for which McMeller
has supreme contempt.
