How He Hired a Man to Assnssinate
Revenue Agent wild - Colonel
Brooks Opinion of walsh ana
His Grimes.
Tho following bit OF interesting and peril
nent history has been unearthed by tho Sun
day Capital. II will be recollected that Walsh
has never made any denial OF these grave
changes against him; neither has he called
any one to account for item, either In the
courts or otherwise. Here is tho Capital arti.
Gle:
Capital reporter, who is something OF an
antiquarian, was overhaullng some ancient
files Of Washington papers yesterday, whom no
came upon the issue OF the Post for Thursday,
August 1, 1878. Among other excellent aud
interesting relics OF other days, the Capital
man turned up an article on tho second
page OF that valuable history Of current times
headed:
"Fraud's Last stand-Tho Desperate Fight
Made by Kellogg's Gang-Witnesses Afraid to
Testify for Fear OF Losing Their Places-How
Hayes and sherman Back Up the Criminals
Some Startling Developments, etc.
This Interesting talo OF the then current
history of this country consisted chiefly OF two
parts-the one letter addressed to tho Hon.
Benjamin +. Butler, and the other an intor.
view with Major (ColonoD Brooks, Chief OF tho
Secret Service OF tho Treasury Department,
together with such able remarks rs the genial
and brilliant stilson Hutchins or his repro.
sentatives thought tho situation called for.
The particular part OF the historical letter
which concerns tho capital and Its readers is
that part bearing directly on
"JOhn A. walsh rs n whisky Thief
and Murderer
The letter is vouched for by the Post as
coming from tan occupant OF Government
position In New Orleans, who has been an
active Republican down there for years."
This gentleman says OF the case against
John A. Walsh rs q whisky thief:
"The case against Walsh and others Is one
of the blacklist on record. The evidence shows
that j. A. Walsh and John Cockrem, collector
OF Internal revenue OF the district, hired n man
to assassinate revenue agent for giving IN
formation 10 tho Department In regard to
some of their crooked transactions. The man
they hired 10 assassinato Revenue Agent Wild
was convicted here in tho State court for that
offense, and is now serving out his time at
Baton Rouge"
While burrowing to the bottom OF 1the case
against tho Infamous John A.walsh, the Post
reporter interviewed Colonel Brooks, chief OF
the Secret Service OF the Treasury Department.
OF the ,case against Walsh as whisky thief,
Colonel Brooks said
"There never was clearer case than the
one against Walsh"
And when he was questioned as to the at
tempt Of Walsh TO have Revenue Agent Wild
assassinated, Colonel Brooks answered:
"oh, yes, that is true, and the man who tried
to assassinate him is now In prison Wild, tho
man they tried TO kill, Is still down there as
the operative Of this Department, but no was
cut all to pieces
Tho man involved In all this unearthing of
the records Of the past is John A. Walsh, the
great American adjustable witness.

FACTS.

These contemplating trip westward
will certainly do we'll to carefully con
suit the time tables OF the Baltimore anG
Ohio road. Its celebrated fast trains
its sure connections, and rates always as
low as the lowest, make it beyond all
controversy the best line west. Colo.
nists are carried in first class cars on fast
trains, and every possible care is taken
to insure comfort and convenience
Trains run through without change oi
,ars tc Chicago. where direct connection
is made with al leading lines to the
west, northwest and southwest, making
hut a single change of cars to Iowa,
K,usss, Nebraska, Texas. Minnesota,
e,c. No other line can offer such advan-
tages as the Baltimore and Ohio.-Ils
costs but very little time and trouble
to learn this, and in the end may lead
to tie saving Of much Of both as vel as
money. Above all things do not pur-
chase tickets before having talk or re-
ceiving a letter from one Of the B. & o.

Democratic State Platform
Adopted July Goth 1882.

The Democratic party of Ohio in con-
veptiou assembled reafirm the grea. prin
ciples which are the for ndation of the
government. among which are equal
rights to oil, special privileges to none.
protection Of the weak against the en-
croachmen!s of the strong, equal taxa
tion, free speech, free pr ss, free schools
and first of all free and unccrrupted
ballot.
Resolusd, That we favor an honest re-
form in the civil service and denounce
the ex.ortion of money from Office hold,
eis to corrupt the ballot and control
elections, as a most threatening, as it is
the most insidious, danger that besets
free government; ard the shameless re-
sort to such methods by the party IN
power to carry its ends evidences the
utte, abandonment of principles for place
Spots under "boss" rule. We denounce
the reckless extravaganza and profligacy
of the Republican party in the appro.
priation of the public treasure, which
sA..uld be applied to the extinction of
the national debt, and We belieys tine
time has come when, by an honest and
economical administration of the g,v.
ernment, the burden of war taxes which
the people have so long horne ana which
in the end fall upon la or,may and ought
to be reduced; but we denounce the :
tempt of the Republican Congress to re.
duce taxes on those ar icles which will
inure to the benefit Of the rich.
Resolred, That we favor tariff levied
to meet the actual meets of the govern
ment, and so adjusted in its de ails with
view to equality in the public burdens
as TO encourage productive industries
and afford labor a jus. compensation
without creating monopolies.
Resolued, That stability in the value
of money is primary requisite to indus
trial and commercial prosperity. This
can only be secured by maintaining both
gold and silver as money as provided by
the Cons 'itu ion and subjecting ,he issue
and regulation of paper money to estab
lished principles which will prevent Huc'
tua,ions in the value of the currency.
RESOLVED, That the growth of monopo
lies is such as to seriously threaten he
rights of individuals, and the public vel
fare aud ought to be provided against BY
proper legislation.
Reso1ued, That the Democratic par
has ever main' aimed and still steadiastl,

dividual liberty consistent With the righ't
Of others and he public welfare, and il
opposed to legislation merely sumpluary
