When they saw it stated otherwise

ln The Patriot they would know that 111111 Paper was not speaking the truth. But if they wished to see the inaccuracy of that Paper they had but to refer to a statement made by it that evening-a statement not one whit more false than hundreds that it made in criticising the Govern- ment. It stated that Mr. Bentley hed been nine S200 as lsw elsrh to the Government. That statement did 1101 Bllrvrise him; lt was on a par with everything it had to say about the transactions of the Government, nnd he would not trouble to refer to lt, were it not that Mr. Bentley was not a lilamber of that House and so was unable to defend himself there. The statemcnt simply was not true. Mr. Bentley .iid not receive $200 for -being law clcrk.- It was similar to the Paper’s statement about the dc- iiclts. At one date it was given as $90,000, at nnother $108,000, at an- Other $154,000-jumping from total to total in a manner suflicient to make a dancing' deverish puzzled to follow its financial juggling with the figures.
