For long time past the vile secession or |
gan, known as the Chicago Times, has been |
pursuing GOV. Yates with all That personal |
1ualignity and venom for which it is chiefly |
remarkable From tie 1fnss' standpoint, its (
hostility to the governor, We must say, how
ereT, is natural, II is almost undisguised in |
its friendship to the cause Of secession. He
has been an earnest and efficient supporter OF |
the Union, which the friends Of tue Times are
endeavori1g 10 destroy. He has also proved |
himself the fast friend Of the soldiers, who
arc Low bat ling to usta1n the go7ernment-
| aid that WIS enough in itself to secure for
him tie Times most bitter enemy.
