Tama County Republican. (Toledo, Tama County, Iowa) 1867-1872, 1872-08-01

Many Of our citizens listened, last
Saturday evening, to q political
speech from Ii. G. Henderson, ot
Marshalltown. AS political speech
it had many cxoollencios. Mr.. III is
a fluent, forcille speaker. lie has
considerable political knowledge
His speech contained ample and sui
ficient reasons Cor the Republican
faith that is IN him SO far as he
dealt with the principles OF the two
parties, his deductions were sound
and we'll founded. There were so
many points OF the speech ,Lat were
admirable, were sound, were unan
swerable, that We have not space nor
time to partlcularize. Every one
present ielt their force
We started ont TO refer TO blem
ish upon the speech, concerning
which we cannot consistently be 81
lent.
We refer to the wholesale and un.
measured traduction of the personal
character Of Mr.. Greeley, Mr.. Sum
ner and others not in accord with
the Republican party, INDUCED in so
much of late, by press and speaker.
There are SO many reasons why the
Republican party's continuance in
power is demanded by the best in
terests Of the country, why Grecley's
election viii! be disastrous, if not ia
tai, to all reform, that to 60 cut OF
the way to aspcrse the character Of
Mr.. Greeley and Mr.. Sumner, as Nj.
Hen lerson did, was uncalled for. n
party that deprecates SANDERS upon
its standard bearer, is inconsistent in
slandering al opponent. L. has been
the proud boast OF the Republican
party, that its asceniancy was dle to
its principles being in accord with the
principles Of the peop'e,-in other
words, that the party and The people
were one and the same The boast
has been verify. Heretofore the
party has generally lett the :. cam
paign of SANDER to its enemies
alone. The "ncw departure Of so
many advocates for the party will
not be advantageous to it, we fear.
The REruBLrcAs has borne tcsti-
mony to its desire tor President
Grants reelection. and has fortified
that desire by incon.rovertilne reas.
ons, and it will, during the progress
of the campaign, add to theta others
OF equal force. lis sense OF .js.siicc
however, compels ii to bear testlmo
ny, in Mr.. Grecley's behalf, on one
point, adverted to by the speaker. on
Saturday evening. The charge is
that the New York Tribune received
advertising from the Tamnauy Gov
eminent to the amount Of 100000,
and that the Tribune tor time ceas-
ed its war against the Ring; did not
join III the war against Tammany Tor
six weeks after hosiilitics were com.
menced by the. Times, and only then
when forced into the fight by public
opinion. We have been Il close
reader of the Tribune for years, and
know, as docs every other thought
full reader OF tic Tribune, that from
the day that grave suspicious we. {
directed against the Tammony Ring
the Tribune has intcrmitteu no effor'
in directing public attention to it, il
exposing it, and in trying to prove
it. We know, too. that the nex'
day after the Times published it fig
ures in exposition of the frauds OF The
Ring, the Tribune repubiished them
with comments in approval of Their
force. We know, farther, that nc
issue of the Tribune can be furnished
to show that it excused or defended
any member OF the Ring, from any
charge that had a shadow Of proof L,
support it, There arc other things
