srse facts 10 regard to this poll-book business
and zee how far We we're jasti6sd in our state.
meoss Of the oonnscsisn Of Hall, Thoupsos aad
Dodge therswish. let them procure and read
House document No. Al. III. G. Hall impropl
er'y connected Gen. Dodge with the poll-bock
transaction, shat % their 'funeeal," none Of
ssra. We only quoted Hall's testimony, given
under oath, against Gen. Dodge. Let them
deny Or dispreve il il they can. ss,..
We have made % sefereacs to the psrsonal
habits, character, religion er conduct Of Gen.
Dodge. and We shall not do it, We have
found enough that vas censuFable, ridiculous,
absurd and unjusti6abls in his career - . Dele.
gate, Senator, Ambassador, and eandidsts, to
content us without going beyond and assaiL
ing him personally, which 70 have never de-.
sired to do. We have never uttered . syllaole
against Gen. Dodge personally. His public
record, his receipts from the Treasury, bio
speeches, his method Of conducting the Guber-
material canvass. aud his Ambassadorial SER
vices. are fair subjects Of remark, and We .hall
continue % remark upon them.
Of Babbitt We have only said what the pre- |
sent Democratic administration has sad. what |
Judge Mason has said, AID what The records Of \
The Government show, that be is defaulter,
Asainss whom suit is ncw pending in the United |
States District Court in Ksokuk. ...E
No, no, the leaders Of the party 10 Burlington
started out with the intention of making this 4 |
'lsckgsard campaign. They employed the two
most consummate hireling blackgusrds in the |
'ovn, in whose political honesty they had them.
'elves NO confidence, to edit their two campaign |
papers. They brought down Dean from Mt. |
Pleasant, man whom thay would never before |
lllow to speak in Burlington, 70 give them
sample Of his scurrility. When they found
that be could furnish just such an article as
they wanted they provided him with a Liberal
purse, and sent him on his travels over the
State TO traduce their neighbors to whom they
had professed personal friendship. ,.g,.
II this abuse, scurrilty, lying and backyard
sm reacts upon the party that employs it the
Democrats can only blame their leaders. II it
'esu!ts in estranging friends. in severing busi-
1ess connections, in disgrscing the town, and
n suudering ties that have been dear an SACRED
ior ecore of years, no part Of the blame can
be attributed to us.
