The difference between him and them
is that be was manly and sincere while
they desired only to gain ao advantage
over an enemy toward whom they bear
an uncompromising hatred. The in
sincerity Of these men, SO fully shad:
owed forth through the columns ofthe
party organ at St. Paul, completely ex-
onerates Gen. Hubbard from: all just
censure for the course he has pursued;

The:fact Of the. whole matter seems
- be that Con. Hubbard, Iie.uated by
an ambition perfectly proper, aspired to
the nomination for Congress !; that he
necessarily accepted the support Of the
y. "nents Of Doonelly that, after the
nomination, he found that instead Of
supporting him as q Republican, they
were trying to use him simply as tool
for gratifying their personal antipathy
to Donnelly, regardless Of the feelings
of Hubbard or the interests Of the Re-
publican party. We look upon his let-
ter Of declination as a polite invitation
to the firm of the Press and Tribune
and their adherents to pull their own
chesnuts: out of the fire.
From the O,oatonna Journal.
We give Gen. Hubbard the credit Of
being 'HoNEsr" in this withdrawal.
We believe he mas At heart the beat
good Of the party in his District, and
that he does not wish to imperil its
success. Upon the other hand, We, be.
1ieve that the course :by.; some Of his
supporters since his withdrawal, the St.
