| Now, speaking as Conservative Repnb
lican, the Judge very forcibly warns Mr..
Boutwell, of the ruin he is bringing on the
party to which both belong. But Dent is
not merely a Conservative Republican. II.
is emphatically patriot. He cares more
for principle than party, although respect
for his brother-in- law, and Of course
natural family pride in the political eleva
ton of the latter, has, of course, kept him
from expressing himself upon questions of
polity. Besides Dent is not politician

this they were in error. He is fully in

the Boutwell, party. L have devoted so
much space to Dents letter because 1 deem
it as marking very important epoch in
our chaotic political condition. That he
will be the Democratic nominee in Missis-
sippi is beyond question, and his election
is equally unqueshonable. Most probably
he will be returned to the Senate, and you
may rest assured no Democratic Senator
will be more earnest than Lewis Dent in
attacking the hypocrisy and unwilling the
villaini9s of this inetfably rotten party,
which now raises its standard under the
leadership of such an inetfable buzzard as
George S. Boutwell,.
