sed are regarded A. high sounding and Jaw
breaking BY zone Of the committee We
would recommend that he be sent 10 school
again. We certainly did not. and never
viii stop, touse the language with which
one Of the committee" seems to be most
familiar. Our ideas Of good taste and com.
mon decency will not even permit US to
quote such words. in order to, spread the
well earned reputation of zone Of the com~
mittee'in that peculiar style Of writing in
which he has embarked as candidate for
fame. --or infamy, as the case may be.
If "the prestage ofJudge Sharkey's name
as a jurist will not availp us. will not his
character as gentleman avail against the
unjust charge that those Wings who have
had the patriotism to join the American
party, laying aside all party ties. are at
least respectable men. The committee in
formed the people ofthis county that the re-
spectacle portion Of the Wings oppose the
American party. We would be willing to
have the controversy sc tiled on the question
of respectability, either of the Democrats or
Wings Of the Autobiography.
/ The charge of Wing trick was not made
in those words tn the address, but histo.
! ry of parties was attempted, for the purpose
of showing that the American party was
first the old Federal Party, and subsequent
ly the Wing party.
