With sincere hope, and an anxious
desire that the approaching contest for the
Presidency may Be conducted a. in days
Of old, by argument and reason, instead Of
revelry and song singing, as in 1910, we
would, in candor, ask those Of the opposite
party, who contemplate supporting an
anti-war candidate for the Presidency, and
who feel that the administration has erred
in the commencement or resistance of hos
tilities, or the prosecution Of the war, by
the exercise Of all the ingenuity Of which
they may be possessed, or can become
master Of, to point out to an enquiring
mind, how such course can be justified,
without charging Gen. Taylor with utter
ing falsehoods in matters Of SO deep mag
nitude that deviation from the truth, how
ever slight, is not only inexcusable, but
highly reprehensible. In an address to
THE Mexicans, on the 18th Of June, 1916,
before he had any aspirations for the Pre-
sidency, or had any limitations that the
war was to form any part ofthe opposition
Ito the administration, as one Of the means

future, he uses the following plain and
truthful language:
"After many years ofpatient endurance,
the United States are at length constrained
to acknowledge that war now exists be-
tween our government and the government
Of Mexico. For many years our citizens
have been subjected to repeated INSULTS
AND INJURIES; OUR VESSELS
AND CARGOES HAVE BEEN Sell
FED ANDCONFISCATED;o our merch-
ants have been plundered, manned, impris-
oned without cause, and without repara-
ton. At lengthy our government ack-
nowledged the justice Of our claims, and
agreed by treaty to make satisfaction, by
payment Of several millions of dollars; but
this treaty has been violated by your rul-
ers and the stipulated payments have been
withheld. Our late efforts to terminate
all difficulties by peaceful negotiation has
been rejected by the dictator, Paredes, and
our minister Of peace, which your rulers
had agreed to receive, has been refused a
hearing"
