This gentleman, who was taken to Cincinnati on a Warrant sworn out before United States Commissioner Halliday, at the instance of cowardly and vindictive leaders of the Republican party in this city, with the expectation that he could not secure bail without being subjected to great annoyance and inconvenience, returned home Saturday evening, having given satisfactory bail for his appearance on the 10th inst.
His trial will show that he was arrested merely to intimidate from voting the voters he naturalized. No one for a moment believes that he intentionally or knowingly naturalized a man who was not legally entitled to be naturalized.
Here, as elsewhere, the Republican leaders, to subserve party ends, are resorting to fraud, corruption and intimidation. Let Democrats manfully stand up for their rights, and there will not be one particle of trouble to-morrow.
