A Lie Nailed

New York, 1895

The advocates of the Commissioner of Jurors bill have tried to give it character by stating that Judge Garretson saw the draft and approved it.

This statement, so industriously circulated, is a vicious falsehood. THE FARMER is authorized to state that Judge Garretson never saw the draft of the bill, and knew nothing whatever of its contents.
