solve itself from man-wor-Elp and blind following
when in 1889, i, threw o1, the Jackson livery and
assumed the noble motto OF ." Principles, NOT
Men" It's present course and nttitude--its talk
of the Ciey purity doing and so, and Of descr-

course but, it shall not prescribe ours nor does its
compound Of dicaton and scrvility at all accord
with the spiri, of tho WHO Party.
The Courier contrives by cutting and shuilling
our sentences to suit itself, to make say that
we should now support another Wing candidate in
preference to Mr.. Clay if wc deemed that cand

cumstances mhich existed IN 1899, witlzLoco-
Focoism lriumphan,Iy cn,rcnched in the high pla-
of the land, and with tic Sub Treasury Inn

said also that deemed tie present crcumstan-

and should now feel liberty TO consider eminent
fitness and deserving well as popularity-aIl
which are centred in Mr.. Clay. This the Courier
suppresses' to eYr prejudice.
And now as to Slaves !" and CLAY Clubs
The Courier has woven dexterously but unfarl,
piece of mosaic ont of these materials but they
have no real cohesion. We say again ,hat if we
held ourselves boundto support Mr.. Clay COR Pres
