The Republican organs, by common
consent, designate their candidate as
'tHonest Old Abe. i" We are by no
means disposed to deny his right to the
designation. We knew him persinally and
have observed his public course, and how
ever strongly may condemn some if the
doctrines to which he is committed, We
have, at no time, seen reason to doubt his
honesty. We believe that he has the good
of his country at heart. This much we
take pleasure in saying in his behalf.
