,aEDT New YoRk, June TO-
The following Is from the 1I1bdts cd
itorial on VallandighSm ....
"Eis new departure Is regarded by
many as Inconsistent with al his past
career. But that Is their iault. so long
as slavery lived he fought for II with a
lovers devotion; but since It Is dead be.
yond hope of resurrection, II seemed to
him absurd that his party should sacrifice
Itself Tor the names of the de.
parted, What TO- little minds seems
Inconsistency, was simply common
sense; that appreciation andlconIormity TO
the actual status, which distinguish and
designate practical men from blockleads,
who arc often called men Of one idea, be.
cause they never have even that number.
His death makes void in the ranks of
his party, but the success Of the bold new
counLerInarch with which his name Is
identified, Is already asstired."5 Ji9

The Boston P6St'S editorial on vallan.
digham says:
"If his change OF sentiment or opinion
was abrupt, It expressed the purpose Of
the great Democratic party Of the Union,
while II satisfied moro minds among rea.
sonable Republicans than any other erCourse
could havedone 1fitwas no more thhn an
Impulse with him, as somO insist II was
consummatc, wise and sagaciously acted
upon. Had lIe lived he would doubtless
have exlllted in the result of n step TO
which every motive earnestly coun-
selled, hut death interposed and
Commands silence. That inevitable pres.
ence renders Q political opponent a foe

abandon our preiudices, regarding only

and n rarely cultured mind, fluent i'm.
