DELEGATES AT LARGE.
The endorsement of the ticket for

the First, Second and Third, settles the

We propose, however, and we are
j sure it will meet with universal approv
t al, that all the gentlemen voted for as
delegates-at-large by the various con-

Lafayette Baker, a detective an l

alleged “assrssins’’ of the late Mr. Li\- •

cord pretty well overhauled here beljortl
the courts, a few'months ago. He was
the right hand man of the Lincoln
administration, amt’ in Company with
SchexcK, did its dirtiest, work. He
.was a man so much after Stanton’s

Brigadier Cjeneryl, in the Ui it 1 States
Army ! a title and rank which he v.as
allowed to wear until his inf.ua

When the matter came'before Con

that “he was amazed that the Senate
could entertain the bill for a moment.
There never had been any evidence
that Booth had been either killed or
captured. Why was not his body
. brought to this city and exposed to the
j public gaze so that it might be identi

actually been shot and, for all they
j knew he might come back and mur

! Baker, he believed that he was a

, the story that Booth had been killed.
He ought not to have anything.’’
