will be remembered that so soon.as rumors of bribery and corruption came to

with bribery. That the Democracy desire some patriotic and high minded

such an affidavit, they have proved
_ this by the manner in whicli they have
denounced Howard. The charges
_ made by Howard are not in the pamphlet alone. He has since published a
letter over his own signature, in
which he specifically charges that
gertain acts of. bribery were committed,
and he’states what will be proved in
case of investigation. He says that
menibers ‘were sold and that others,
among the most respectable in the
Legislature were approached with offers of money. Howard farther affirms
that he is “physically ax ‘well as morally responsible for what. the says. Here~ the Democrats have not merely street . ’

a man whose Democracy is beyond
question. But they say Howard lies.
Who believes it? Thevery men who
make. this charge know they could ap"point a committee of investigation and
place Howard upon the stand, and if his.

who have devoted themselves to a study
of the. sublime wonders of Nature,
Science and Art.” The work is an encyclopedia of the matters which it dis. cussed, and would be entertaining tothe .
