The Tribune is exceedingly prorusc in
its laudations of Gar6cldc and his clan just
now, and we propose to show by its own
language just how much dependence can
be placed in anything it says. To begin
with, We will show his estimate Of Mr..
Evans, who aspircs to be Gar6clde's chief
striker just now. We quote from the
Tribune Of August Nth last:
4 Coon CHANCE FOR EvANS.-As the ex-
acting governor was Mcclellan man in 1864,
and staunch johnson man from '65 to 'Gs,
there would lie no Inconsistency in giving
Chase mis- support now. Here is capital
change for - ex-actiag governor Evans. Go
in and win, Elwood, Chase stock is said to be
rising. You can labor tremendously with the
Chase party. You have been in Chase of Of
fee all your life, Ewood, and it matters not
under what king you serve SO that you put
money in your purse, you know.
Then again in his issue Of Sept. 4th, in
noting the receipt by Mr.. Evans Of box
of theological books he says:
Surely he does not intend to study for the
ministry. Perhaps SO, as he has signally
failed 10 both law and politics. 1t will be
amusing though, to see the exjudgc in the
pulpit.
Mr.. Evans now contributes to Prosch's
paper, 30 We will quote from Prosch's
opinion Of Evans articles, August 2Sth,
1869:
A walla wslla contemporary is in error in
supposing that "ex-acting governor" Evans
never wrote for the Territorial Republican. We
have Il from reliable source that one, at
least, Of the most scurrilous articles that ap-
peared in that scurrilous sheet cmanated d from
his pen.
So much for Mr.. Evans. Now for .
ling At Reed, although We confes, VIC
can't see the point it drives at, from the
Tribune of Dec. 4:
"NtDAs Has ASS EAns."-So whispered
the classical reeds played upon by passing
xephyrs. Every breath OF the Oympian Reed
tells the same story o: this Age.
And 10 the same issue the TriJxme's
opinion Of the Vancouver Register man
is given thus:
90 FRoM THE SUBLIME TO THE RIpIcrLors. -
This is 6ttingly illustrated in the awful de-
scent from John Quincy Adams to Enoch
George Adams.
Now We will give its opinion of DR..
Scott, who it now beslobbcrs with all
sorts Of fulsome nonsense. See Tribune
of February 18th:
SToP live wish the people VI no are cir
culating the petition for the removal of the
obese Secretary would stop it, If he should
be removed. we would be at a loss for some
body to -perpetrate squ5s upon. That would
place US in q bad FIX.
Then he alludes to Sam Coulter in the
same paper thus:
"Sam" Was one Of those men in this com.
Wunity Who rejoiced in every rebel success
and looked sad only when the armies of our
great leader, General Grant, were pressing
the enemy to utter discontinue.
Upon the subjects of Boiling aud " Car.
pet-baggcs," he was then just what the
transcript now is, as witness the following
from the Tribune of February 22d:
Is II not about time for the Ace to stop call
ing Governor Flanders and his friends on the
6. Boilers Address :. Democrats? ~ We
have looked At the list, as published in their
last issue, and we fail to find the name of
siagle man who is not openly and avowedly
the warm friend and supporter of General
Grant, and Of the principles Of the National
Republican party.
By what right does the Age, edited nv new
corners TO this Territory, men Of whose political
auteeedents We know nothing, dare to read the
best men the Republican party of this Terri
tory has ever known out Of its ranks? Do
they do il at the command Of those recent re-
cruiis from the Democratic party who are sup
plying the 4" sinews OF war; for the purpose
Of getting still stronger control Of the public
purse than they now have? Or, having taken
lessons Of the Democratic party in Vermont
do they eeek TO make the Republican party
here 50 conveniently small that u corporai's
guard may absorb all the Offices?
not make Copperbeads Of tried Union by
calling them sach. But the gentlemen who
signed that address. il not part sans, are ci,i-
gems, and can join to themselves hundreds Of

ties, will be only too glad to show their indie
