James, of Ma ryland,” consul to Turk Island. A “backslider” and a“lepentant sinner” are different beings, therefore the scripture quoted by Horace Ims uo application in his case. The acquaintances and neighbors of John W. Wirner, radical candidate for Senator, won’t recognize him from the pen portrait of the Consul. Horace says Wimcr is a “greenbacker.” Well, yes, he’s anything A few years ago ho sought a senato. rial nomination in the Independent convention, but, like Horace v/hen he failed to secure the clerkship, he fizzled and rotured to the mire. The radical platform says: No abandonment or depreciation of the greenback currency.

Editor of Union, Rensselaer’ Ind. Dear Sir: —I desire to cal) your attention to the horrible scenes of violence and bloodshed transpiring throughout the South, and suggest that you give them as great prominence as possible in your paper from this time until after the election! * * * Thos. J. Brady, Chm. Why, Gen. Brady, until after the election? Whit motive? Why, if those report are true, cease telling about them when the election is over? —Rensselaer Union, Oct. 1, 1874. So Horace declined to hang out the “bloody shirts 14 fresh from the Indiana branch “Outrage Mills” of Morton & Co. Horace was in of the recipe, knew the process by which “bloody shirts” and “southern outrages” were manufactured, in an honest moment refused to impose upon his readers, but instead “blowt d"' on the JcviL who tempted him.
