MR. WENDELL PHILLIPS.
Mr. Wendell Phillips Is carrying on somewhat acrF
monlous dispute with Mr. Theodore Lyman, In regard 70
the conduct Of Mr. Lymans father, then Mayor OF Bos-
ton in the Proslavery riot Of 1885, which came near tax
ing Mr. GarisOns life Mr. Phillips says that the chief
magistrate OF the city was his knees TO tue mob,
that he propitiated them by encouraging the de-
sructiOu Of the sgnOOard OF The LGerdiOr that TIC
ought to have the riot with powder and shot, and
sent dozen respectable BOstonans TO their graves ana
tnat he himself glad that blush for the deeds OF
their fathers Mr. Theodore Lyman says that the Mayor
resisted the mob that he saved Mr. GarrsOns life that
he had nothing to do with tearing down the sicn, aud
that he himself does blush fOr his father but rather
for the slanderer OF dead mans memory. As thirty
four years huHg with them the power OF remembering
| almost anything, both dsputants have an abundant
amount Of testimony and afdayts 20 sustain their own
sides IN the matter; but Mr.. Philips have

The discussion carried on in the hOsptahe columns OF
The Day Advertiser, Of which paper Mr. Phillips genialy

originality OF plraSeoloGy which 10 held as one OF the
chief charms OF Mr. Philipss brilliant oratory has one
