Reference is then mado to the statements that drew a retort from Carpenter, which wese ns follows: First, that for tha slx years Mr, Carponter was in the Scoate, hls_record waa uniform and anbro- ken, in favor of {ntlanion, or snft-moncy, so-call- ed. * Becund, that the people of this State were In doubt 6a t3 hie present pouition un the fnance question, of wero tp (o the apuearance of the lel- ter to Me, Kuichin, Thira, that he evadel tho question of how he really ali stand on this ques- tion In his speeches mndo in thia city, the faw days befora the election. ~Fourth, that hin standing in the RRepublican party was forfeiled or greatly Tm- paired, nnd that he was not cntltled to fiirthor confidence.
