GEN KIMBALL AND HIS TRADUCEKs =
The Madison Free Press, of this State
has INDUCED in a column Or two of low
abuse upon Gen. Nathan Kimball.-
The whole article of the Press was pre-
dicated, however on an II. If the Gen
eral said SO and go, then the editor OF
the Press said so and SO. The whole
thing turns out to be "a tempest IN q
tea pot" Gen. Kimball never said SO
and so, and therefore tho Madison
gentleman does not say his SO aad SO.
Our Democratic friends are ali rather
afraid Of. any organization of soldiers,
and particularly of the Grand Army OF
the Republic, over which, in this State,
Gen. Kimball presides. The attack OF
the Press on the General we suspect,
grows out of this fact. Gen. kimball is
g. true soldier, and by the same rule, a
true gentleman, and we presume will
not set up of nights to annoy himself
about any newspaper abuse We don't
think he will walk very far to go around
the editor of the Free Press il he is stand
ing in his way, or that he will travel
very far to come into any ersonal col.
lision with him. The #. in the whole
affair is a very good thing. and contains
the key to the entire matter.-t ferre
