Our cotcmporary a few weeks ago i'll
n hoinilv on the duty of liberal Rcpubli-
cans, mentioned Dana Of the New York
Sun as a Republican "too honest to he
led into the trickery Of LstterD Day Radi-
Gals" AMI i'll addressing himself to his
brother Democrats says, with such
company as this we need not fear to GO"
Some years ego, while Dana was editor
OF the Chicago Republican, the women of
Richmon., formed a Southern Orphans
Relief Association. and solicited dona-
lions from all over the country. To
their circular the Republican made the
following reply.

ESTEEMED LADIEs:-In response to
your request for contribution to build
houses for destitute children Of deccas-
cd Confederate soldiers. please find ill.,
closed $500 in the currency of the de-
ceased Confederacy. You say that "thc
shrinking delicacy and pride of the
Southern people forbid the idea of con-
Quoting the establishment upon the
principle or plan Of an ordinary tl,ar-
ity." We cordially coincide with this
policy, and as ordinary charities ere
supported by "grecnbacks," you will
appreciate that lofty seHse Of chivalric
propriety which leads us to contribute
to the support of your enterprise, &
currency which is opposed in all respects
to ~grccnbacks.
Yours, very truly,
THE CHICAGO REPUBLICAN COMPANY.
If that strikes the editor of the Ne,c
Era as being evidence that Mr.. Dana
sis too honest to be led into the trickery
ofLattcr Day Eadicals,' it is probably
.gratifying'to his Democratic readers to
learn how very liberal and "hoacst'!
Mr.. Daua was before he joined the Dc
nocracy. And it must be doubly graf
flying to u contemporary to remember
that the R~eP"Jlicoa Company shortly
after publishing the above made Dem
ocratic paper out Of it, and that Mr..
Dana supported the Democratic ticket
in the late New York election. OF one
thing however the editor of the New
Eramay rest assured, that when a man
is too mean to be a decent Republican
lie g%ravitatcs into full anil honorable
fellowship in the Democratic party as
naturally rs n duck takes to water.
