Four thousand people listened to Col. Gi iy, at Goodland,Tuesday, be ing three times the number that attended the meeting of Calkins and Owens. Go'. Gray made a very good impression. At Goodland, Tuesday. Col. Gray denounced the statement that he ever had been connected with the Know Nothings and the Mairiage Dowery Association as “a cowardly, infamous lie, and he who circulates It is a dirty sneak.” That strikes our gentle neilgbbor right between the eyes. - » Falsehoods will fly fast an J thick ,’rom radical blusterers, from this i.n til after the November election - Let Democrats pay no heed to the inventions es the enemy.

It is well to remember this. * * - I It w.lB no causa or reproach io Jas. G. Blaine that he owned a share Id the Hocking Valley Mines property, but it was infinitely disgraceful to lie about it.

He has attained that point where any one undertaking to defend him damages not only Blaine but himself. William Walter Phelps is one, Mr. Lee is an other, but why extend the list.
