SANDER, &C." all the result of "en-
w, hatred and malice" againstthe
nominees of the Republican party.
In answer to this charge, we pro-
nounce II to be without foundation
entirely. There Is but enc of the
nominees that we have
any personal feeling against, and
we envy none of them. We iatter
ourself that we have rs good pros
pects for life, health and happiness
as n man Or their ticket, n we
know that If we condnct ourself so
as 10 merit 1t, and we intend to 90
our "leveI>best" trying, we will be
as highly respected by the people
amongst whom we live, as any OF
their nominees, or anybody else
EntertaIaingsuch feelings, we think
we can safely say that envy, hatred,
ana malice have nothing to DO
with our charges against the Ke-
nublican candidates. Our char
yes against the Republican noml-
nees have been made for no other
purpcse than to show up the IN
constituencies of the Republican
marty. and thereby demonstrate to
The temperance men of that party
that they could not hope to accom-
plish any temperance reform
through it. The charges we have
made are all true, and cal be
proven by the oaths Of unimpeaeh-
able witnesses, If any body has
the harilhood TO contradict Them,
and we suppose the Herald replied
to them IN the way it did last week
for the reason that il felt that some
reply was needed and 1t could moi
think of a better way. The truth
Won know, is hard to combat.
Fearful that the public may for
get what our charges have been
