fact We are abundan,ly able to prove; we.
can prove+hat during the canvass last fal,
several Of the candidates wrote editorial ur.
ticles Tor that paper, ard it would not be
difficult to prove, that before and since that
time, all the leading articles appearing in
that paper were written by persons other
than the nominal editor.
We do not now intend to comment on
the meanness of an individual writing an
article he is ashamed TO father, and palm
ing it off upon an irresponsible added up.
start nor on the contemplate character of
the wretch who will not only stsal editorials
from the New York zri1une. as the nqpinal
editor was forced to admit when we ex
posed him week or two ago, but who will
descend SO low down jn@1-wallow and
Shiny filth Of moral degredation, as to faith
er all the loathsome, filthy and disreputable
stuff that pack Of political desperadoes
and literary knaves, please to palm off upon
him. simply because they read better than
Anything he can write: These are no idle
nsinnations; mol. are they mentioned with.
out purpose. ., We mention. the fact hat
Mr.. Littlsfield steals articles from other pa
pers. anG fathers articles written by other
persons, to show that he is not entitled to-
nor is he worthy of the notice of any per.
son of responsibility or decency and We
mention the fact, that no is not the person
who edits the Republican, to relieve our
self from the odium that would justly
attach to US, were we to take any notice o.
him, or any article written by him.
Who the present editor Of that paper is
or who wrote the low, dirty article that ap
peared in that paper last week, where the
character Of one of the best men in The
State was foully attacked, we do not know
but we believe it was written by some pc,
soa whose head, speaking with political
fgur: was re,-sore over recent defeat.
Charles Mcclure does not reed hat nc
defend him. His character as an honorable
high minded, truthful, christian man-o,c
who carries all these high qualities Of man
hood into politics, as we'll as into his every
day life, is too we'll established to need any
defense, against the effect Of such scuu
lous, unfair, untrue, and uncalled 70: attack
as some eore headed personal enemy has
made upon him through the columns Of the
Red Wing Republican, falsely under the
cha: cter Of editorial. ...
In this art to Ahich we.reer, Mr.
McC' --1/ Il with cuonjoo
trsachery, n'ea-nss, hfastl>ssness, ayres,

ofwhich charges We need not say is false.
We challenge the writer to give bis true
name. and thus face the public indigna, ion
and copte~"t allengs him, not to
give proof hese charges, but over
his own signature, to stste a single instance
where the gentleman referred to, had dis
|played single trait Of character which he
ascribes to him and until he docs this, va
pronounce him base hcartless liar and il
We ever discover his true name we will
publish it. that our readers may sec who
so miserable a wretch Is.
But there is ose feature Of ,ha, article, to
which we oss to direct moments 80
rious attention.
W. are not posted in the tricks Of poll
tics, as our pameless slanderer undoubtedly
is. We do not know the meaning OF This
or that influence, spoke> Of by him. For
the eaitication Of those who can decipher it,
we quote again from that dirty article

opposed. especially to tho Ramsey influence.
