ers of the Republican party in.this state
are now here, and the details for organ
ization of the state convention tomor-
row are nearly completed. Hon. Il. G.

land arrived this afternoon, and were
soon beseiged by callers. In all likeli-

A Reply TO the MendaciOus At

II is expecting a little too much or
Republican papers that have an exag-
gerated penchant for reyeling in the
yilest sort Of politics TO make fair and
honest statement OF anything, even
OF matters of record-things that are
easily and ineontroyertibly proven.
The disreputable attacks upon Comp
troller Ponthan should not pass un-
challenged. The records ~ tile comp
troller's Office are systematic, and so
nicely arranged that IL does not require
an expert accountant 10 inspect them
and 10 verify what Mr. Ponthan reports.

assaults. willfully misquOtes the comp
trOller's report in support OF fictitious
allegations. Ia the issue Of April ~ APP

react with telling force, for the citizens
OF St. Paul cannot help feeling the dis
grace that such false statements entail:
