graph, so bitterly assails But we mean, nevcrthc
less, that justice shall be done him
In the first place, the charge that Mr. Davis was
the cause Of Banks election to the speakership is
utterly unfounded II Is not he that is to blame for
that result, nor is any other Wing or American
But tits the simon pure Democracy They are the sole
authors Of that mischief and alone responsible.
And why do we alleges Because Banks could
never have been elected but for the adoption of the
plurality rule and the adoption Of the plurality rule
could never have been effected but by the votes Of
eight traitor Democrats That is the truth Of the
case. Eight Democrats, . majority Of whom were
Southern Democrats, voted for the plurality rule,
with the full knowledge and conviction that It's adop-
ton would necessarily and inevitably result in Banks
election And yet Democratic editors and polti-
clans have the graceless efrontery to denounce Mr.
Davis who voted against that rule, in company with
every Wing and American member Of the House,
and is consequently in respect responsible for
Banks election 1t viii be remembered, too, that
Gov. Smith at one time would have been certainly
elected, if the Democratic members from Virginia
and the South had voted for him, they should and
would have done, il they had been anxious to defeat
Banks And yet while the Democracy contributed
largely to the success of Banks and the triumph
in his person Of Black Republicanism, they have the
unparalleled audaciy to try to shift the responsible
y of their own miserable, unpatrotic conduct upon
the shoulders of those who innocent
Again Mr. Davis is loudly denounced for his vote
Tor the army bill, with the obnoxious proviso annex
ed to il by the Black Republicans. We disapprove
and condemn that vote as much any man. and we,
therefore, offer defense of it. We observe, how
ever, that the Richmond Dispatch, a professedly
neutral paper, but really sly and sneaking Locofo
co sheet, takes Mr.. Davis to task, and denounces
him without stint for saying in his recently pub
lished card that while the mode was wrong the "Ob.
ject attempted to be sccompli he'd by the provso
was righteous" We differ with Mr.. Davis in this
opinion, also But did not the Senate Of the United
States almost unanimously-by a vote Of 40 to s.
declare, in their support of Douglas Pacifcation
Bill which bill repealed all the so-caed obnoxious
laws of the Kansas Legslature-did not these forty
Senator's say, in effect declare that the object
sought to be attained by the provso to the army bill
was "righteousr" They voted to repeal the Kansas
laws and the proviso to the army bill contemplated
nonexecution Of those laws-that is the only diff
ference
We advise the assailants of Mr.. Davis to turn
heir attention to the recreant and tratorous Demo-
Gratis, who fill the Senate house and who are ready
at any time to sell the South and all her rights for
mess Of pottage.

culpable neglect Of duty by the present National
isiration.
Resolved, That the government Of these United
formed by the conjunction in political unity Of
spread geographical sections, materially differing NO
in climate and products but IN social and domes,l,
tutions--and that any cause which shall permanen

The HORSE SHOW IN BosToN.-Notwith-
standing the damp, disagreeable fog of We'd
nesday. the horse exhibition at Boston was
attended by about twenty five thousand peo-
pie, including great many ladies. A fine
display of stations was made. Then followed
a trot of green horses not over five years old.
Nine were entered, and after five heats, Tom
Carpenter of Boston, took the first rriye Q 90,
Dvllurre OF Lawrence, the second, $50 and
Nat aker the third, 1925. The great race for
$1,000, between Ethan Allen and Hiram
Drew caused great interest. Ethan Allen won
in three straight heats time PA, 2.44 1-2,
2'4O. The Drew horse behaved badly lin each
heat, breaking frequently. After this race
there was a trot under the saddle between
Telemachus and Albany Girl for 1925 and SIS
purses. A scrub race for $25 was won by
Know Nothing.

The Transcript says: awe undertake to say,
however, upon the authority of those who
know all about it. that Mr. Mason has not
performed the duties of his office 'to the uni
versal satisfaction of every one.' There has
been, we are told, much complaint on the part
of the members OF the bar and even of the
Courts, on account of the errors and inaccu.
racies in the Management of the business of
the Clerks office; we have been repeatedly
told that to Mr.. Smith principally, is due the
credit for what there is well done in the office.
Will the Spy dare to make the comparison be-
tween Mr. Mason and Mr.. Smith from the rec
ords and business Of the office; that will set
tie the matter, and it is upon the considera.
ton of Mr.. Smiths eminent fitness for the
place that the people will elect him to the Of
flee of Clerk
We copy the above for the purpose of show
ing the utter recklessness with which the
Paugborn clique of Know Nothings pursue
the men whose offices they wish to secure as
thereward of their own favorites, for their SER
vices in debauching the Republican party and
making it the subservient tool of Governor
Gardner. To carry out their infamous pur-
poses, no falsehood is too base for them to ut
ter, and no libel is so gross that they will
withhold it. A more courteous gentleman,
or faithful public officer, than Mr.. Mason has
proved himself to be, cannot be found in the
limits of Massachusetts,, and it is because he
possesses these qualities in such an eminent
degree, that followers of Gov. Gardner wish
to sapplant him. Mr.. Mason has been a con-
sistent, open supporter of the principles OF the
Republican party for years, while Smith has
been all things to all men, subscribing to the
political funds of all parties, aud see,etly
plotting for the removal of his friend and
benefactor.
As regards the infamous charge of the Tran
script, which we have quoted above, the
following unsought and unsolicited testimo-
11ial fru1n the members ot the yy-ureesrer mr..
as to the fidelity with which Mr.. Mason has
performed his official duties, will serve as a
complete vindication.

DECIDEDLY CooL.-The editor of the Potts.
vile, (Pa.) Miners Journal recently visited
Philadeldhia, and while there, his room at
the hotel was entered one night by light
fingered rascal, who stole from his clothing
valuable watch and some money. The edit
or subsequently received communication
from the "chevalier," together with a lock ct
which was attached to the watch. He said
he returned the locket, thinking it might
probably be valued on account of its associa-
TONS" and would have returned the watch,
but there was such small amount in the
purse that it would not pay for the trouble he
took, so the watch had to be sold to pay ex.
penses. He says he likes editors, and if he
makes any money soon. will buy the watch
back, and return it, and winds up by advising
the knight of the quill not to sleep so sound
