Liberals" But the attack OF the
party Of fraud has not stopped them.
Coupled with it has been an attack
on Mr.. John BOnfield, who was
employed to ferret out registration
frauds, and Mr.. Jesse Barton. an
attorney, who is a distant relative
OF Mr.. Bonfield. Mr.. Barton, though
lawyer who had a high reputation
IN Illinois, was summarily forbid
den to practice by the great deputy
registrars. The reason for this was
the publication of utterly false
charges in the "Liberal'' organ.
To sustain their claim the Glib
eral" committee posted and publish
ed a number OF dispatches dated at
Chicago, and signed by "W.
A. Pinkerton." They doubtless
thought they would he accepted as
genuine. The trick was so hold, and
the idea of publishing bogus tele-
grams of that nature so outrageous,
that it was not suspected that an in
vestigation would be instituted.
But the investigation was made,
and ii showed that Fullerton ,cos
not IN Chicago. He was not even in
Illinois when the alleged kilograms
were sent, so the signing of the name
was A FORGERY. But the manager
OF his agency might have dene so.
Did he? Not a bit of it. Here is
the proof. One Of the bogus tele-
grams, published in a "Liberal,
organ, asserted Mr.. Barton had been
indicted for perjury and for black
mailing. Mr.. Barton telegraphed
to Mr.. Pinkerton and asked if be
had sent such dispatch. The an
swer of the superintendent of the
Pinkerton agency reads:
CHICAGO. Feb. 6, 1890.
To Jesse B. Barton:
Mr.. Pinkerton isnot in Chicago, but
I am positive he has authorized no
one to do as you state.
d. RoBEErsoN, supt.
That dispatch revealed the crooked
work. But Mr.. Barton had also
telegraphed TO United States At
torney Ewing at Chicago, request
ing him to make ar immediate in
vestigation, and il Mr.. Pinkertop
had sent such n telegram to proceed
against him. Here is Judge Ew-
ing's reply:
CHICAGO. Feb. 6. 1880.
To Jesse B. Barton:
Pinkerion is away. Tn telegram
IS denied al his office. / have wired
Pinkerton at Cincinnati. VIII send
you his answer this afternoon.

And now comes the testimony of
Mr.. PinkertOn Himself. 1t is a
on the 'Liberal'' game:
CHICAGO, Feb. :, 1890.
To Jesse D. barton:
have Just received the following
telegram:
Cincinnati, Ohio.-To w. G. Ewing.
o. 5. Attorney, Chicago: l never sent,
nor authorized any one to send for me,
any telegram 10 Salt Lake, stating that
Jesse Il. Barton had ever been indicted

or perjury or any other offense. II

What do you think Of It? All
hose "telegrams" with which the |
Liberals" sought to malign the |
character Of supposed witnesses, and |
which were claimed TO be signed by
at Chicago, were not sent |
y him at all, for he was not in
chicago. The name attached to the
'ogus dispatches was not that of Mr..
Mr.. Pinkerton's repre-
at Chicago, but was
w. A. Pinkerton." Unfortu-

vas at Cincinnati, Ohio, and their

Chicago is now up.
