HARDING,s EGOTEsM.

Those of our readers who were present to
hear John Logan will remember the pompous
and self.satisGed air with which Harding
strutted around on the platform whilst the
former was talking. Egosism showed itself
in every movement of his body. He seemed
especially anxious to exhibit himself to the
people. He wished them to understand that
the big InJun" was about the great repre-
sentative of the sovereign people of the fourth
congressional district of Illinois the man
who voted against the soldiers receiving the
paltry pitsance which they expect TO receive !;
the man who quietly pockets the $4,000 OF
So, 900 which congress voted him, comes
home with it and hires mon to traverse the
district, to secure his reelection 80 that he
will be on hand ready to vote in opposition
to q restoration of the Union and against the
admission OF loyal representatives from states
which have never bsen out of the Union the
man who boasts that he is worth a half
million of dollars and rather than be
defeated will use it to buy up votes. If Ear
| ding did not have money, he would be no
| body. Ills own friends admit that he is lack
| ing in brains. Harding himself is conscious
of this. hence his great desire, upon public
| occasions, to exhibit his physical proportions,
| hoping many will be satisfied and excuse the
lack of intellect SO apparent to every intelli-
gent man with whom he comes in contact

WHY AN EAU. :. SENATOR TURNED
ROMAN CATHOLIC.

We find in the Catholic Telegraph the fol-
lowing letter from Ex-senator Pugh in rela-
ton to certain statements of General Will
Iich:-
GENERAL-I do not remember that / ever
did you disservice and certainly, the last
time saw you, just recovering from your
wound, | spoke with kindness and oonsidera-
ton.
but is it true that you said of me, at
Madison, Indiana, or elsewhere, what 10 con-
tanned in this paragraph ~:
ssTo what extent do the democrats go to catch
votes1 There is Pugh, of Cincinnati, who lately
became catholic, and Peddleton is now receiv-
ing instructions from catholic priest, with view
OF adopting the catholic religion, and there is no
doubt that it all done for the purpose of catch
ing the catholic vote 20
"Mr. Pendleton must speak for himself.
and is quite able to do that in all conceiva-
Bile circumstances He can speak in the Ger
man language, which l cannot Therefore,
General, wish you joy OF the laurels you
might win by provoking quarrel with him.
LAS to myself, to say that the words im-
puted to you express talsehood, and that OF
the meanest description, is to render the
mildest sentence which | find within the
compass OF my patience.
For almost twenty years past and gone, /
was IN PUBIC NE; now am not. nave NOT

uration of Abraham Lincoln. And, during
all those years, while ] was young man
struggling up the steep and slippery path OF
an inexperienced politician, did never ask
any aid from the priesthood of the catholic
church Indeed knew that no solicitati on
would obtain it. But now, feeble in health
worn out by life of controversy, past the
meridian which the psalmist assigns
to the years of man when
l came TO consider the state of my own soul
in the watches of the night, and to oonside,
that my children are coming forth to fill the
place which shortly will not be mine, l have
simply professed my belief in the holy Ro
man catholic and apostolic church, which il
