Hut the party which has made this great and unfortunate blunder, and which, by making It, has compelled me to disouss the record of Its candidate, now lifts up us hands in holy horror at what it calls personal slander and "mud-throwing." Tho Itepubllcan party, whose slanders broke the great, good heart of Horace Greeley, which has followed Samuel J.

Hut If I must argue a proposition so plain.

suppose we turn this matter round and take an illustration. Suppose now that the lr alter General Hancock was nominated at Cincinnati It had been discovered that during the war he had been court-martialed by a commission, say, of five officers, thrceor them his own immediate friends, for dishonestly conniving with some sutler to aheat thn mlilliiM.hS

that he had, on their oaths, bisrriends with the rest. Now, what do you suppose the Itepubllcan party would have done about this Do you think they would have been so meek and modest that they would have kept still about it? What ought they to do In such a case? tV hy. who would not concede that, under sunk

circumstances, they would lie justlHed In spreading berore the people the sworn record Which Droved that General Hanoock was a
