From the Cleveland Plain Dealer

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
The Springer committee invest iga
ting the alleged election frauds in Gin.
cinnati, has finished its labors, ard
will make report to Congress AS t,
the result of its Investigations.
The testimony as published corrob
| crates all the charges that have been
made against United States Marshal
Lot Wright. aud established the fact
that he used his official authority to
influence the election and intimidate
voters.
1t has been shown that Lot Wright,
upon the request of two fl. deral off
cials, one All -mploye of his own, ap.
pointed over u thousand Deputy Mar
shals, all Republicans. and distributed
them among the polling places.
These Deputy Marshals were recruit
ed from the lowest haunts of vice aud
crime in the city. Some of them were
thieves, some pickpockets, some bur
glars, some bunco steerers, some mur-
derers, and nearly all of them We're
toughs and criminals of a low grade
Many of them were SO ignorant that
they could not write their own names
and many more were so dishonest that
they stole the arms that were given
them to use on election day,
Many of these Deputies were brought
from entlcky, some from Indiana
some from Washington, and large
proportion of them were not citizens
of Ohio.
They were given bulldog REVIEWERS
and ammunition, the same being paid
for ont of funds furnished by the Re-
publican campaign committee.
They were drilled and instructed in
the duty expected Df them by Uni
led States pension agent, who neglect.
ed the duties of his Office for that pnr
pose.
From first to last the appointment
aud use of these thieves, thugs aud
toughs AZ ager ts to secure fair elec-
tion," was a partisan business. They
were appointed by Republican parti-
sans as partisans aud to do partisan
work.
They did it well, These thieves,
thugs and toughs swarmed about the
polls all election day, with their bull
dog revolvers. doing effective work for
their Republican employers and in
timidating Democrats and driving
them from the polls.
This is the whole infamous story,
every word of it is substantiated by
the investigations of the committee.
and the committee will doubtless so
report.
Lot Wright and every other Repub
lieau official who took part in this
proceeding should be lifted out of the
offices that they have disgraced, with
the least possible delay. They are the
most offensive type of that offensive
class of federal officials that Governor
Cleveland alluded to as Extensively
partisan" For them the keenest edge
should be put upon the knife .and their
official decapitation should take place
at the earliest possible opportunity.

The Grant Trust Fund.

New YORK, July 24.-The Tribune Will
publish tomorrow statement of the present
status of the trust fund raised by the citi-
zens of New York for General Grant several
years ago. After telling how, at the sugges-
ton of the late Governor Morgan, SIS, 900
of the fund was invested in Wabash Railroad
first mortgage per cent. bonds, which were
then considered good as Governments,
Governor Morgan guaranteeing them, and
undertaking TO make both principal and in
terest good out of his own private fortune,
in case the interest should be de-
faulted for six months, the Tribune SAYS:
what six months ago seemed an almost
impossible contingency will probably be-
come a fact within a few DAYS. On August
10 the interest on the bonds i'm question will
he six months in arrear, and it is probable
Governor Morgan's executors will, in accord
ance with his guarantee, pay over to the
trustees of the fund the principal and inter-
est. Only one question remains to be deter
mined. 1t has been suggested that if the
executors of the Morgan estate lend TO the
railway the money wherewith to pay the in
terest on the bonds held in trust for General
Grant and his family, there would tech
nically be no default, and therefore the
Morgan estate would not be liable for
the principal. Whatever course Governor
Morgan, if alive would bave pursued under
these circumstances, his executors are bound
in law to be governed by the exact legal in
depreciation of his written guarantee. The
whole suestion of the liability at the present
juncture of the execution under the testa-
tors guarantee has been referred to a lawyer
who will examine the point at once and give
his opinion in a few days In the meantime
there is reason to believe that on August L
the guarantee will be carried out and the
S1Ss, 600, with the arrears of interest, will be
paid to the treasurer of the fund"
