Governor. What W wrote in that connec
ton. We srnIy believed to be true, and ou'
belief is still unchanged-she article from
which We quoted, to the contrary notw'th
standing. The irresponsible conductor
in,ima,ss that the article in question wa
published in bis absence-sn in'imation moi

all bis special pleading about no" such al
artiel. would "bs regarded by men OF gooc
minds" has no significance or reieEane!
whatever in this case.
No. satisfied with his efforts at explaining
away the force Of cur showing Of his 81 mod
essv," the Senior owns up that be does "no'
make any prstensions to superior modesty,'
and very significantly in,imates that no
mawkishness shall prevent him, hereafter,
from parading before an astonished world,
his own :. real orth of char ac,sr" together
with all other "just allusions " to his inter
es. in the large share Of the elements Of
popularity and success possessed in com
mon with the other "men composing the
Democratic ticket He will not refrain
from this course, not seven to please a
Black Republican organ" Good-who
will now dare say that he is not person
age of "sru.h, candor, and upright, manly
bearing ?"
1t may be true, as the Bugle charges, that
we are laboriug Z" under strange hallucin-
alton in regard to the personality Of news
paper" but, at the same time, we AN as
sure the amiab!e Senior" that it will
take an infinite amount Of reasoning to con-
vince as that the responsible conduc-
tor" of paper cannot, of right, be held re-
spousible for all articles published in said
paper uhen he is at home. If the "junior
editor, or any othor person writes the ar
tcles, tina. fact does not, in any way, as far
the public are concerned, preclude the " re-
sponsibls conductor" from enjoying the hon
ors, (if any there Beg attached thereto, nor
relieve him from the responsibility incurred
by their publication. That dodge rs I'M
worthy even the self exalted "Senio-."
"To sum up" the Senior" editor at
.empts to show of bis qualifications for the
1t. Governosship, by calling US ga pretty
fory sort Of chap" Whether, in thus
Huat lie uUuOlieSs CoEcelfeu W pe,
a derogatory allusion to our personal ap-
pearance, the " Senior is laborins "under
a strange ha.lucination in regard to the per-
sona!ity ola newspaper,".we leave to linen
Of good minds" to say. Certes it is, how
ever, if We are ga pretty tory sort of o
chap" we stand in no fear of such short
haired poodles as the " Senior"
We are not responsible for this disserta-
ton on modesty-the amiab!e Senior" of
the Bugle provoked it-and it is very disin-
genuous on his part, now to accuse Us, 10
replying to his uncalled for attack upon Mr..
klRKwooD, of attempting to divert "publc
opinion from the real issues before the peo-
pie Of this State" Men of good minds"
will most certainly see through such mlsrep-
reservations, and to them we submit the
case, without further argument.
