Colonel Il. A. ALsToN, Atlanta, CA
DEAR COLoNEL-l have received your note In re-
gard to the misrepresentation Of the carpet-bag
editor at Atlanta. This Is the business for which he
is paid ana by which he makes his living. l would
not advise you or any gentleman to notice hin In
any manner except to correct through the press any
falSehO0d which you may consider injurious TO our
ca use.
i have never made any such statement as he
attributes TO me: on the contrary am for that policy
, which alone can give peace to the country, and
although General Grant says 'et us have peace" ne
seeks to achieve 1t only by the military power and
actual the principles OF the government.
Yours truly, FRANK II. BLAIR.

Insanity in the Seymour Family

Horatio Seyniour's father killed him
self in fit of insanity, his mother was
for ten years previous to her death, an
inmate OF All insane asylum-iiis fathers
brother committed suicide while insane,
and an aunt OF his father also killed
herself while insane. IT may be said
that these are matters of family history
not proper To he brought into political
canvass. True, it Is not Seymour's
fault that insanity Is hereditary in his
family, ii is his misfortune. But the
people are called upon To. place him in
the highest and most responsible posi-
ton in the nation, and it is aqueation Of
infinite moment to them and to the
whole country whether he is liable at
any moment to lose his reason and be-
come insane. This is a question of most
serious import-and made the more
serious by the character of the man who
euceassi"n- The facts we have stated,
are notorious, where Mr.. Seymour :
'aniiiy Is known. II is useless to under
take to conceal them or gloss them over.
1t is not his fault we know, but we do
say, that even though Horatio Seymour
were tile purest ss.stesnsan and most
ardent patriot that ever bgcathel, TO
elect him OH the same ticket with Frank
Blair would Ire worse than madness

have dared to nominate Frank Blair for
