IN any other man. That man who will
misruie---who will endorse
by bis vote one whom all honest men have
a rascai--who will use his
official position for his own selfish ends
who will make himself associate and pro-
priator in any and every chartered con-
Germ possible, regardless Of his official
oath--who will uphold and adulqie the
basest corruption is not, th ough he may
wear the name, a genuine sterling dero-
crat. Had DR.. Clark performed his duty
had he in all things taken the part Of
justice-hod he been influenced by no
policy except thatpOinted out by the fin
ger Of right, absolute right, then his acts
and his votes as recorded, would be the
only defence needed. Neither "S,s" moi
any other admirer Of the Doctor, would
have perceived the necessity Of defending
him-right will sustain itself, truth is its
own defender, only that which is rotter
and corrupt calls for external props.
But this is depression. Other Of the
