A Judicial Portrait Drawn by Rad
ical.

Just before the Radical Convention
met at st. Joseph, Mo, which renomi-
mated Ben Loan for Congress, his Rad
ical competitor, Captain j. C. Parker
wrote a letter withdrawing his name as
q candidate. Previously o bitter war
had shrung up between the two factions.
and the Captain closes his letter OF
withdrawal with the following emphatic
reference to Loan and his adherents:
While the miserable out-throat faction
and band of political desperadoes In st
Joseph, which for the time being have
almost got control of the Radical party
of the district, are reveliDG in what ap-
pears to them the very zenith OF their
prosperity, the handwriting may be
seen on the wall, which dooms them to
the destruction which justice, honesty,
and the cause of the country demand
that they should receive. The time will
come when free thought and tree discus
sion will be tolerated in the ranks OF the
Radical party, aud when mems oticia
conduct can be weighed In the balanc,
would rather be right than be a Con
gressman.--Cincinna1 Enquirer.
