Yon have introduced the IndianapoUs Jfrrrid, which claims to tavo been “properly quoted as “ ‘the leading republican paper of mony whiah io that Mr. Orth whom you urge people to vote for is smirched all over with corruption, .and thix|oo, w'as said in the Satne breaUt-dhe same paragraph—which insinuated against Mr. Wolcott.
