What will be thought of "repu-
table newspaper" deliberately basing
charge Of forgery (2) upon such a
difference as appears between the
two agreements above published?
1t is the difference between
tweedle dee and tweedle. dunn.
But in order to settle that slight
difference, we now call upon Mr..
Reuben E. lamar the Democratic
Register Of Wills, who saw andread
the original agreement, to tell the
public over his own signature which
of the above is correct.
And we call upon Mr.. George w.
Cruikshank who has made some
speeches for the Democratic ticket,
and who also saw, and read the
original agreement, to tell the public
over his signature which is correct.
And we call upon Mr.. James A.
Lewis, candidate before the recent
Democratic convention, and who
saw and read the original agreement,
to tell the people over his signature,
which is correct.
And we call upon Mr.. William H.
May,sanother leading Democrat who
saw and read the original agreement,
to say to the public over his sigma
ture which is correct.
If more witnesses are needed, we
will name them hereafter, and in the
meantime we challenge the News and
Mr.. Crothers to join in our request
to the gentlemen named.
