the evening cotemPOrary irate, disappeared
at the touch of the wand of the mentor from

reigned in the city, but alas! not in the
country.

evening contemporary on Saturday, and gobbled
down at the sold Round Table with the gustO

Having digested one d" libellern of the "broOd

Seriously-our respected evening cOtempo- |
rary in its suddenly heated zeal applies opPro-
bious epithets to just as good Republicans and |
Just as good men as there are in the 18th Con-
gressiona District and whether it is ian editors
duty to apply such, or elevates the character
of the press, We viii leave the next Editorial
Convention, for which institution cur evening
contemporary is a great stickler, to decide. a
'mOrning eOtempOrary" has taken no sides in
the canvass for Congressional nomination edi-
iorially or otherwise. but has discharged its du-
ty, as it humbly eoneeives, by admitting CON-
munieatiOns on all sides Of subject Of interest
to Republicans and the people of the District
generally. 1t enteTtsins the highest regard, per
sOnslly and politically, for each Of the worthy
gentlemen named for nomination, and will vie
with the evening contemporary in giving an
earnest support to the nominee of the COnven-
ton So will the Republicans of the District
when that selection has been fairly made, as we
have not the slightest doubt it will be. The ex-
citement Of the canvass for nomination Will
bring out fuller expression at the primary
meetings than 'masterly inactivity would have
done, and when the people speak, that is an end
of the controversy.
In dropping the subject, and in perfect good
nature towards our evening contemporary and
i'the rest of mankind a morning eotempora-
Ty'' would venture to whisper in its ear that
pleasant part of ''an editors duty is to keep in
good humor and to mind your own business.
