reached; but the committee of managers
finally concluded to give Mr.. Cathcart

tiser no recourse but to appeal to the
voters, confident that those who defeat

: Indictment viii also defeat the man
whom Brown and his flying wedge of
sixtv-fve ex-police delegates compelled
! the convention, very much against its
will, to accept.
sHThis morning the Advertiser pre-
SCENTS the case of Goo Wan Hoy, client
whom Cathcart betrayed and robbed.
This story will be followed by others
of similar tenor We mean to prove
to the satisfaction of the honest voter
that the denomination of Cathcart was
an affront to common honesty and one
which calls for party rebuke that viii
serve as a lesson and a warning, for

Republican states for the electors of
this County or this Territory to pass
upon. -

with Incorporating or embezzling
