The Indinna Grangers want to know, you Jnow, oxnotly what was the nature of the trangsotion by which tho title to that Iand pnssed from the State and vested in Wirzians; and whother it was just such sort of transaction as an honest Granger could engage in. Then thore avo nlso o grest many Grangors in Indisns who thom- solves or their brothors and mons were in tho field fghting the Rebell- jon when *‘Uncls Jmstux" Wiuss was & member-of the Gopperhend Logislature to which the Indinnn soldiers appealed to aid Gov.

Theso ox-soldiers remember that ¢ Unele Jraxy ” voted with the rest of the Copporhead majority to rojoct that ap- poal of Indians Union Volunteorg in the fiald for reinforcements, and their potition wng sent back to thom ot the front. - If thesa inquiries into WirLraws' rocord aro to bo kopt up, his blue-jenns will not longer sorvo to conceal that his truo colors are but- terout, and, instend of accopting himas o Grangor, the Indiana farmers will be liable to set him down as a land-pirate. purchaso material, must enspend business ond discharge his oporatives; in short, crodit will bo destroyed and all things will be brought down to tho hard.psn of cash pnyments. ‘The currency will be locked up in the 8.65 bonds. . How is the money to be got out of tho 8.65 bonda? It must bo by the offer of a Iargor intorest. The larger the intorest offered, the less desirablo aud Jess securo is tho investment. Men getting 8.65 in gold intorest, free of taxes, on an invest- ment of 100 paper dollars, worth 85 conts oach, will not cxchange that permanont, profitable, and safe Investment without such ap offer a8 will at once 'signify the hazard of tho business. There must not only bo an in- creasod rate of interost, but the rate must mclude libernl margins to cover all possible peradventurcs and mishaps. There ave in Chicogo to-dny ten dollars to bo Joaned on good sccurity at 7 or 8 per cent to the one dollar that can bo obtained by an offer of 12 or 20 pep cent, for the higher the intarest tho worse the security. Spoculative loans censed in tha panic of 1873 ; desperate crodit has passed out of oxistonce, and men now prefer certainty at low interest to chanco at any price. The schomo of offering $25,000,000 in gold annually to all persons who have money for which they have no use in their own busi. ness, and o raiso this $25,000,000 in gold by oxtra taxation, is tho present embodiment of Democratio wisdom. It is a schemo to tax tho whola people of tho United Btates to puy twenty-five millions in gold interest to peo- plo who have unemployod and unproductive monoy. It is a schemo to draw out of tho savings banks and other banks $700,000,000 of money now loaned for the purposes of trado ond lock it up in the Tremsury per. msnontly, It is to produce immediato con- traction,—a wholesalo stringency, that must enddonly closo every bank and other loan office, excopt tho pawnshops; destroy credit, stop every mill and mino and workshop which roquires to borrow money, ent off the wagos funds, annihilate trado, and bring the business of the country almost to o stand- still. And thisschemo isdeliborately proposed by Democratio statesmen ns & meons to in- croass aud mako permanent *“a supply of curroncy equal to the wants of trade.” ‘—=Dut the demngogues argue that when monoy i8 searce the holders of these 8,65 bonds will exchango them for greenbacks. Tho borrowing classes cannot do that, bo- cause they will have no bonds, Tho mer- chants, builders, produce dealers, and mon- ufacturera aro borrowing from tho banks— in the aggregate over two thousand millions. They will own fow or no bonds; who will loan them the two billions of monoy? The ‘bondholders will not convert thelr aafe, un- taxed gold-bearing consols into tnoney to loan 1o the borrowing classes unless tempted by high interest and strong security, and as fast a8 any monoy is thus thrown inio ciroulation it will find ils way speedily back into bonds, and thus be again hoarded. The schemo, then, isone of most terrific con- traction instend of expansion; ond there would be only one modo of relief, and that would ba tho introduction of gold and silver a3 the common currency of the country. Wo should be reduced to sn oxclusive metallic medium of exchanges, as the paper cw:enoy would bo sucked into tho Government 8,65 por cent gohl bonds, and held there by the irreaistiblo power of twenty-five millions of annual gold intorest acting lika tha force of gravity on tho papor mas. A REASON FOR REJECTING BRISTOW, The Third Ward Ropublican Club met Sat- urday ovoning to compars notes and tnlk ovor Gubernatorial and Prosidential candi- dates. Among other spealkers— Mr. C. Gnzerex ssked permiseiodof the Chalr to sy a few words. Permiuslon was readlly grant- ed, and Mr. Gneerxy madoe quite an extended speceh, In which ho exalted the mameof Mr. lLaNe ns candllste for the Presidency. Mr Tratnpand tho speakerhad had the pleasure of being veaslck together, and ho offered this fact as a proof that Mr. BrAgE had exposed hiw truo in- wardness for the arator's acquaintance, sa he was positivo there was nothing that would cause men to embrace each other so mach as scgsickness, Mr. Buane hiad clovated hlinsolf fram a poor boy ton millonaire, ond be thought ho deserved aome credlt for this, espocially as ho had never been ase cused of dishoneaty, Ho had the groatoht respect for r1sTow, but his birth and education .in Kon- tucky made-it dangerousto take Lim np. His elec- tlon would be o step toward penstoning the Robel soldlem, cte., and the power of tho party to eleet him waa dosbtful, for in attempting tocarry him the party would haveto fight the entire Whlsky Ring of the country. e clused by pasalng a glow- Iog eulogy npon Mr, BLAINE, calling him tho Lin- corx of to-day, and tho only representative man fn the country who dared to atand up and put his heel upion the Rebel eplrlt of the Sauth, This last is a little rough on MontoN and Coxxro, who havo dono little else since the close of thoe War except * to put their heels on the Rebel spirit of the South.” Bat i it was Mr, Greerzy's purposo to damagoe Ar. Brams by indirection, and com- mend AMr, Baisrow by infamous assaulta re- vealing their own naturs, AMr, GnreLeY was ominently successful, But if ho was sincers in what he said, he did not reflect any eredit on himself nor do his favorito candidate any good. In saying that *it is doubttul whether the Republicans can elect Brisrow, because the party will have to fight $he entire Whisky Ring of the conntry,” ho struck Mr. Brims ahard blow, for his langungo, if it m.ans anything, moans that Mr. Brave would be s favorite caundidate with tho Whinky Ring, and that DBamrow wouldn't, There could acarcoly be n better nargument for DBmistaw over Brase, though, of courso, tho latter omght not to bo Lield responsible for tho utterances of men who coufess a rendiness to quail before the whisky thioves. This Mr. Gnererey also mado the unwarranted and scurrilous ohargo that the olection of Bawrow would be 8 riop toward ponsioning tho Robol sol- diers, though Bnistow to-dsy carrics wounds roceived on the battlo-ficld in‘opposing theso Rebel soldlors, which 18 botter evidence of patriotism and loyalty than Braixx can boast of, and probably more tlan this GuezLxy can show, whose chief objection to Bris. cow seems to be bocauso hie was ** born and educated in Kentucky,” though Lixcor was likewise born in that Btate, and Daistow, &5 nmatter of fact, was educated in Penn. sylvania, and bas been a radical, reliablo Union Republican since 1860, and was an anti-slavery man beforo then. ‘This little club spoech of *Mr, GReELEY re. alizes our foars of & gencral assault all along the line by the Democrata in caso Baistow I8 thrown overboard at Oinclnnatl. It will be chargod during the “entiro campaign that crushod him to politieal donth. They can oasily make out what tho lawyers call a prima.facie caso, and their indiotment will bo hard to answer. 'The Ropublicans will bo placed on tho dafensiva throughout the cam- poign, and compelled to explain on overy stump, in ovory nowspaper daily and con. tinnously, why thoy hiad gone bnck on Ro- form and lay down on Brisrow. EXTRADITION WITH ENGLAND, The thinking and candid people of En- gland aro boginning to confess that the re- fusal of their Government to surrender Winsrow without a pledge that ho should bo triod for no othor offonss than that for which ko was demandod, was unwarrantod by Inw, and an unusna! and unfair proced- ure under intornathnal practicos. It is also froely sdmitted thot the abrogation of the treaty, growing out of the position the Brit- ish Government bLas, assumed, will be unfor- tannto for both countries,” This is the t&hor of articles in able journals liko the Eecono. mist and Spectator ; pnd, though they con. domn the American notico of ending tho ex- tradition treaty as the usual roshnessof s democratic Government, they can scarcely deny that, in this case, it would haye boen better if the conservative monarchical Gov- ernment had paused for a sccond sober thonght before jumping at aconclusion which it cnnnot justify undor the law. The English caso resls upon alaw of Par- liamont, passed in 1870, which contains tho following provisiona: (1) A fugitive criminal shall not bo surrendered if the ofense, in respect of which his surrender fs demanded, 18 ono of a political character, or if ho prove to the natisfaction of the Police Magistrate in the conrt before whom he Is brought on habeas corpus, or to tho Becretary of State, thal the requlsition of his surrondor hae, In fact, been mado with a view to try or punish hitmn for an offénse of a political character. (2) A fugitive criminal shaill not be snrrendered to n forelgn State unless provision s made by tho law of that Btato, or by arrangement, that tho fogitive criminnl shall not, unatil he has been restored or hnd an opportunity of returning to ler Majesty's dominions, be detalned or tried{n that forclgn Btate for any offense committed prior to s surrender othor than the oxtradition crime proved by tho facts on which the sarrender Is grounded, 1t roquires no very close norlearned intim- acy with international law to understand that & municipal law of England cannot, of itsclf, govorn and direct the relations of that nation with othor Governmonts. When the Parliamentary law of 1870 wos cited in the LAwRENOR case by his London solicitors, the English Stato Dopartment nssumed that the United States Government wns & und by s law of its own, passed in 1818, and embody- ing practically the same theory of oxtrhdition. But the orror in this caso aroso from an ignorance of tho fact that the United ‘Stabes law oxpresaly oxcepts Eugland, bocanse wo wore bound by tho Asmnunton treaty of 1842 to deliver up crimionls on certain charges without stipulating any conditions. Thus the United States Govornmont took spacial pains to avoid an abrogation of the English treaty and a rupturo with Great Britain on this question. Not so with the English Governmont, howover, which hss undortaken without further notico to amend the Asmpuntox treaty by one of its local Inwa. It might rossomably havo expected rosistance in such a case, and such reaistance is Bearcoly open to the charge of democratio brusqueria. ‘Tho only lIaw question involved is whether the law of Parlinment of 1870 roposded the existing troaties whorever thero was s differonce aa ouy points “copcorning extrdition. Batilng aside tho quéstion of powoer to do this, it was mani- feostly not the purpose of tho English law of 1870 to make such ropeal, for it oxcopts “anything contained in this act which i in- consistent with tho treaties roferred to in the nots repealed,” of which the treaty with the United Statos isone. There 18, therotors, no warrant in the English local statute for mak. ing the demand on tho United States which bas been so properly resented. In its examination of the subject the Lon- don Leonomist presonts a very fair ktatement of the Amorican case when it points out that the English Government desires the Presi- dent of the United States to cxercise the leg- islative function by the practical sbrogation of a tronty that required the sanction of both tho President and tho Bonate of the United Btates. It finds no good answer to this atatement. But it also quostions the desirn~ bility of enforcing the proposed conditions even in a proper and lawful way, It recalls the fact that during the thirty years'lifo of the treaty there has never beon an at tompt to try for jolitical offonso any ono brought back to tho United Btates on o prima facie caso of crime inclnded in tho terms of the treaty, and it doos not think it worth whils for an imagi- nary case to yun tho risk of making the two countries’ each the refugo for the other's oriminal clogses, This is certainly a very sonsible’ view of the matter, and it is strongthaned by tho reflection that a dispo- gition to end or modify tho treaty might havo beon proporly expressod in notico to our Government which would have received respootful considoration, It it was tho pur- poss of tho English Government to put an end to all extradition between the two coun- tries, it has probably cuccecdod, thoughin a very undignificd and unbecoming manner. The end cortainly docs not justify the means, nor tho means the end, Wa believe that the sentimont of this country iaso enlightencd that it will delivor up English eriminals in any event whon & prima fuciz case is mado out against them ; and, if the English dosire Jomake thelr territory an asylum foronr criminals, thoy are welcoms to thom if thoy will only sgree never to lot thom raturn, Mr., Feanaxpo Woop, ono of the fow avowed * Copperheads” of the War time who still linger on the stago of politics, rop- rosonts ouo of the factionsof Now York City, and has a candidate for the Presidency.

THE 865 BOND BCHEME—CONTRACTING THE CURRENCY. The Domocratic Stato Conventions in In- diann, Kansas, and Ohio havo lald down as the platform of the party in thoso Stntes that the notes of all National Banks shall bo withdrawn, and that the Governmont shall irsuo in lion thereof legal-tonders; that tho holder of sny portion of this currency can deliver it at the Treasury and roceive thore- for n netional bond bearing 8.65 'per cont interost in gold; or, upon a surrender of the honds, may got the currency sgnin. This ia the platform of the wholo Groenback party in the United States, excopt that part of them propose curroncy intorest on the bonds. Tho argument employed is that such a “cnrrency will equalize the markot; that it will always supply the country with money ¢ aqual to the wants of trnde ;" that it will yroduce gn sbundance of cheap loansablo money ; that it will grestly reduce tho rates of interost, and the wotes, being a legal- tender in the payment of all debts, public and private, will always bo ot par—with tho 8.66 bonds, - Thero are, wo rogret to say, people who beliovo that this schemo of interconvertible currency and bonds will make and keop monoy sbundané and intorest low. Money is alwnys seeking investment ; tho holder of surplus cash is always on the watch for some certain, pormanent, and easily.mndo moans of drawing profit from his money, If the owner cannot use itin his own business, then tho money is for loan, The greenback is at o large. discount below gold. To purchase 5 or 6 por cent Government gold-bonds with currency at presont rates would bo unpro- ductive. Tho money, therefore, now finds ila way into savings banks, whore tho do- positor recoivos 5 or 6 per cent, or into nn. tiona! or Stato banks, whers the depositor is sllowed somo interost on his balances or somo nccommodation in liou thereof. The banks, in addition to their own capital, lond out theso deposits, and the money thus aggrogated constitutos the loanable funds of tho country. It is proposed to “‘incroaso” the amount of theso loannble funds by offering to every man who has $100 of sparo or jdle money a national bond at par, bearing 83 per cent in- torest in gold. T'his is offeved in competition, with tho savings banks and all other banks ond deposit institutions, The interest of- fered is 4 per cont in paper value, The bond i n national one, and is exposed to none of tho dangors of collapses or frauds which oc. cosionally attond banks, Tho interost is pay- able promptly, and tho bond itselt can bo converted into curroncy or paid out pa car- ronoy without notico. As a security it is do- sirable, Thero ia n thousand millions of dol- lars depositod in tho savings banks, and a thousand millions in other banks, by whom tho money is loaned to merchants, and man. ufacturery, and buildors, with which to con- stroct buildings, to purchase goods and ma- torials, pny wages, handla erops, and gonor- ally carry on the trado, building, and produc- tion of tho country., Bul now comes tho Government into tho market, It offersto the owners of all this money $700,000,000 of national bonds, bearing 8.05 por cent Interest in gold. It offers to pay to these people, whoso savings and surplus are now loaned to tho bauks, $25,000,000 in gold annually for the uss of that much of their money. Doos any ono suppose that Fm offer will bb dis. rogarded? Does suy one beliove that the hundreds of millions of dollars of money which hava boen lying unomployed in the banks since the panic, or loaned out on call at low rates, would not have found rapid in- vestment {n a bond bearing 8,05 intercst in gold? At the first symptom of the panic in 1873 thore was a goneral sush for tho monoy in the banks, and hsd there been a 3,05 bond then availablo thero would have beon & gen- oral transforof all the surplus money to these bonds, breaking protty much every bank in tho United Btates, 1t ought to bo visiblo to the most ordinary man that every dollar takon out of the na- tional and Blate banks,—eavings or other bank,—and put into thess bonds is a dollar withdrawn from tle lanabls funds to the businesa and enterprising classes, and is 60 much carrenoy locked up in the Treasury and wholly unavailable for ‘‘the wanta of trade.” Instead of incressing and making permanent the amount of curre: needed %o carry on the bullding and coimmerce of Bigotry and stupidity combine to make Philadelphia a good place to stay nway from, The Contennial manngers aro ably assisted in this regard by the municipal authorities, ‘With the Exposition closed to such visitors s are compelled to spend the Sabbath in tho dull city, it would scom that the poor priv. ilego of attending a sacred concert might be vouchsafed.

It is impotont malice for the G.-D. toutter the preposterous falschood that * the self- constitnted Committeo™ of editors ** trumped up charges for purposes’ of defamation against Mr. Bramve” According to this ridiculous nilegation they must haveinvented tho statemont which IIArnisox sworo to be- foro the Congressional Committeo of Investi- gation, and which oLy, the Socretary of tho Union Pacific, admitted to the same Committes that he told ITannmon, Was it “ defamptory " to give Mr, Brave enrly pri- vato information of this Hinnmon-Rovttis story ? Mr, Brarse found it very necessary, nfter ‘boing made awaro of the Haznisox-RoLuixg charges, to nak permission of tha Speaker to mako on the floor of the Houso a full and specifio anawor to Mr. Hannison'sstatoments. Thore wns still o much mystery, and so many things unoxplained, that Congress or- dored an investigotion into the $64,000- bond transaction, The threo Govornmont Dircctors—Hannison, Miranp, aud WiLson —wero summoned to Washington, also the Becrotary, Rocuixs, and ox-President of tho Union Paciflo Railroad, Col. Tuoaas A, Bcorr, ss well as the Now York bank- ors, Monton, Brmis & Co., and several others. ‘It was only affer all theso wit osses had beon examjned’ under oath, sud their testimony taken in connee- tion with Alr. Bramve's .own statement, that the mysterious transaction was oxplain- od, and tho Indinnapolis charges wero sot nt reat. Dno thing is very cortain, that, hod Mr. Bramva’ not efuted the Indianapolis allogations, he would not now be regarded 28 & possiblo momince for evon tho sccond place on tho ticket. If any of tho ‘fsclf- constituted Committoo " gavo him carly and private information of tho Indiannpolis Hannmon story, they did him a usoful ser- viee, deserving his thanks, and which wero pot withhold by him., The thing he hag most to fenr snd not to bo thankful for is the indorsement of Whisky-Ring orgnns or tho suppiort of convictod rovenna robbors. " Frrzivom, tho follow said to have been in- dfcted for arson, burglary, larceny, and por- jury, whom tho Confederntes made Door- keoper of the Houss of Roprosentatives, is going tostick. Ho Lins no idea of surronder- ing tho offico that madohim * biger than old Grant,” and brought mewmbers round him thick as fliesto Bolicit patronnge, and kept him out at frolics every night, beenuso, sinco the publication of his extraordinary lotter, some of the Democratic membors awoketo g lively sense of the fact that Frrzmuom is a born fool, besides being a folon, No doubt hols still satisficd heis “biger then old Goant.” Without doubt, too, o is neither a*bigger fool nor folon than whon he was oloected, and is 05 sound n Confederate Domocrat ng thon. All which arg'sufficient justification for Firz- nvon's sticking, which he docs. Ilo can only be got rid of, it sdems, by logislating him out of offico, ‘ransforring tho dutics of tid Doorkoeper to tho Bergeant-nt-Arms, which is what the Confedorato majority pro- poss to do to rolieve themsolves of him, His appointmont” was made upon the old-fash- ioned Democratio spoils system, devised for purposes of plunder eolaly, ind under which just such jail-birds and idiots as he, who do the striking, are tothored at tho publio crib to fatten on tho spoils.

Notwithstanding the dis- graceful and fraudulont logislation by which the first lion of tho Government to secure payment was relonsoed, that still is the con- tract, and there ought to be means of enforc- ing it, instead of going shead payingmill- ions more out of - the Treasury to meet tho intorest on theso bonds, Tho bill as amond. ed by tho House Judiclary Committeo pro- videa that tho Unlon Pacifio Toad shall pay $7560,000 a year for ton years to constitute n sinking fund for tho redemption of tho bonds and $1,000,000 annually thereafter, until the entirs amount ba paid ; also that tho othor companics shall in like manner pay into tho United Btates Tronsury for the 1iko sinking fund in the same proportion ac- cording to the amount of bonds advanced thom. This is to be in addition to tho obll- gations imposad upon the companics under oxisting statutes, and does not relesse them from the payment of § per cent of thoir net enrnings to meek the interest on tho bonds isamed to them, Of courso if the bill passcs it will bo con- tested in the courts, and its enforcomont rosigted to the last.

About twonty.four milliona hna already boon ndded to tho national dobt by poyment ont of tho 'Irensury of tho interost the com. panies contracted to poy; tirco millions moro annually is being added to the national dobt for the like nccount ; and thore is ovory curtainty that, unless somo efficiont notion be taken, the sixty-fiva millions of prineipal will nlso go to swell the publie dobt. ‘The bill in question scems well designed to com- pol the companies to comply with their contract. If it docs not, lot it ba mado to do 80, and be passed without delay. . OBITUARY, MIS3 JULIA MATAEWS. The death of Misg Juria MaTugws, late the head of the Opern-Bouffestroupe bearfng her naine, f8 nnnounced. It took place Friday after- noon, at the Mullanphy Hospital, in 8t. Louts. Miss MaTunws will bo remembered na having given 4 short eenson of Opera-Boulle at the Acndeniy of Musle, In thls clty, last March, Blic waa an Engglisl lady by birth, and_went on the stage In her 7th year, at which thoe she went to Australln, where shie romained sixteen years, and returned to England some nine years 0go, 8o that she was about 83 yeara of ago at the tima of her decease. -8ho at first played chffdren’s parts; and sabsequently juventle parts, on the dramatle stage,—having gone on the Iyric stage but o few years ngo. As an Opera-Bouffé artist, she was quite accepta- ble. Her volee, whilo i was not very powertul, wna very gweet and sympathetie bn its quality, and of n almost marvelous compass. In “Girofle-Girofla,” she -gcemed to have n very high soprano volee; while, in the % Duchess, she would sing tones belonging fn the contralto register, and would rup the seales for nearly two and o half octaves with o facllity that was almost marvelous. IHer exeeution of *Say to Him," in the “Duchess,” was something ar- tistic. In England and in Australis, she bad an excellént reputation. 8he fs enfd to havo been the ofiginal, in English, of “Giroflo-Gdrofla,” “The Grand Duclices,” and " La Belle Helene," and to have played the *Duchess,” which was her best character, for o hundred consceutive nights In London, while Mile. ScungipEn played 1t in French at o rival theatre, Miss MaTugws' ambition wns tomnke Opera-Bouffe something more refined and nar- Llstic than what it hns been for so loug a time In France, and ahe succceded In glving perform- ances that were good, without bringing in nll tho coarseness towhich we aro generally treated. While she was in Chleago she was taken slck with inflammatory rheumatism and malarial fever, but, ratlier than disappoint an audience, shie would go through her part, even If she waa 80 {1 that she had o be carrled to and from the stage. flerlosa will be eeriously felt in En- gland, where slic was o prime favorite. Her agent, Mr. B. T. Jackson, wlll have the body embalmed and taken to England. ———t——— There is no longer any mystery about the blackballing of Sccrctary Bristow when his name tvas proposed for membership in the Unlon Leaguo Club. Mr, C. W. Dunant has published @ card, announcing that {t was through his {nfluence that the necessary dozen ballots were sccured ugalnst BrisTow, and that he (Durant) did it to “pget even with” Bius- Tow. Dunrant i§ n member of s New York sugar-reflning firh which attempted to'steal 8,000 out of the Treasury on a draw-back clalm ou sugars cxported. Bristow stopped that steal, and the blackballing was DurAnT's method of getting even for it. Of all the rascals Brisrow has stopped in stealing, or seifft tothe Penitentlary for stealing, or who hnve put in pleas of gullty to indictments for steal. ing, or ran away to keep out of tho Penl- tontiary, thero s not one who wouldn't fu llke maonner have voted ugninst Buisrow. Mr. DunanT, whose project for filching $9,000 out of the Treasury was checkmuted by Bristow, thinks the Bceretary “an improper person.” Sodo all the Whiskey-Ring and customs and draw-back-Quties’ swindters, and all the rest of the thieves, by common Instinct. But Mr. Du- RANT deludes himsel If he foncies he got oven with Brtistow by that paltry blackballing busl- ness, It only serves fo advertiso the charncter of tho hostility to Bristow, As Grorar WiLL- 13 CunTIs puts It In hia leader in the lust lssuc of Harper’s Weekly : Could tha twoelve biackbnllerabe known, we have no doult that they wonld prove to be fu ‘fall syim- pathy with the spirit that donounced the proyécu lon of Bancocit as polltical persecution, And wero Gen, Bancock himeelf ta be proposed wi a member, thero 13 no reason to doubt that every ono of these biackballers of Secretary Brigtow would support Ltm, Mr, BrisTow waa rojected not bo- causo ho 18 not a ‘gontieman nor a “tried and truo Ttepublican, but becanee ho Is An aggressively hone est and efiiciont public scrvant.” Those twelve Dlackhails but druw the line more emphatically and {neradicably between Republican reformers and Ttepublican ** bummers.
