ING ?-Driven from one fortress of false /
hoods to another, the defamerss of Hen
ry Wilson claim that, whether the Know |
Nothing speeches attributed to him are
bogus or not, he was certainly a Know
Nothing candidate for Governor gsse
think all will admit that if this lad
been the case, the Boston Pilot, the
representative Catholic paper of this
country, would have had something to
say about it. The editors of that jour
nal say that they have searched every
number of the Pilot during Know Moth
Ing times, and can find no evidence that
would even create the least Suspicion of
such thing, except the fact that he re-
celved few votes for Governor In the
Know Nothing convention, but declined
the nonasqaation.
The business men of the country have
no intention of allowing the stupendous
joke Of Mr.. Greeley's nomination to be
turned into the stupid joke of his cleo
ton. The former has already cost US
depreciation of nearly FIVE per cent. in
the currency loss of $20,00O,000 to
holders of greenbacks, and the latter
would make such havoc as has not been
seen since the great crisis Of 81 and 81.
A good indication of the opinions of
business men on this point is furnished
in a little, circular, entitled "Prices Cur
rent, issued regularly lbgs New York
firm of metal-dealers Tt says incident
ally: ''The nomination of Mr. Greeley
has had a depressing effect on business,
and: has filled the minds of financial
men with alarm and apprehension for
the affairs of next season, should he. be
unfortunately elected" saaF
