Oar remarks IN defence OF Dr.. Crane
were dictated b. souse OF justice 10
deleucclcss and as We believed an ighfed
man We have seen no reason TO change
that opinion. In saying this we are not tls
posed to question the sincerity OF those
who have given testimony against him
With all due deleueee to them, and to The
editor OF tho Ilefali, we think they wefe
mistaken. Men sometimes permit Their
7rcludices to carry them very widely e-'fSy.

old Texans, attributed to Dr. Crane seems
to US equally improbable. No honest.
honorable man would have been guilt' oil
it; dishonest man would have exercised
more prudence. To believe IT, We must sup
pose him a fool, which we know he IS not
4 he editor OF the Herald admits that the
meeting which DR.. Crane addressed at
Dallas. rendered him "A vote OF thanks, but
oudeayors to explain the matter away by
saying that tho "genlleman who bad IN
vited Dr. Crane to deliver tie lecture mi

incumbent on him to molly the sting by

Doubtless some prominent man. And yet

more for DR.. Cranes feelings than they did
