The New York World ON the Stu.
ton. Iai
| NEW YORK, Oct. 16.
The World, editorially says the Demo-
cratic party has evidently been injured b,
ispersions cast upon it through the indis-
Greet letter of Blair to Brodhead: which
has been successfully used by the Republi-
.ans. 1t says it is simple justice that thu
party should be cleared of these aspersions.
and says the party as q body has no other
/ means of clearing Itself of this iniquitous
impntation than BY fntile contradictions In
its public Journals; but there are individ-
uels who can ,extinguish this calumny in a
I moment, and silence it forever, and thi>
must be done if we are to win the election.
This is time for plain talk, and we hope
we have spoken intelligibly enough foI
chose whom it most concerns to take our
meaning.
