Wilson and the Bailing of. Jeff

A tremendous howl is going eul
from the Radical press and stump ii
reference to the bailing' of JEFF Davi
| by Horace Greeley. To listen to thest
fellows one would think that none bu
la red-handed traitor to his country
ever thought or could think of such
heinous offense. But they are very
careful never to mention the fact tina
| Gerritt Smith, one of the bright anG
/ shining lights of Radicalism and I
delegate to Philadelphia Convention
was on the same bail-bond. If it1wal
crime for Greeley to bali J eff Davis
was it not equally criminal for Smith
Or does subsequent party affiliation
determine the relative amount o.
guilt to be attached to this act OF hu
manity? Again, Radicals never men
ton the fact that Henry Wilson, tht
Radical candidate for Vice President
/ was the first man to propose that Da
Wis be liberated on. bail or on his owl
recognizance. I's95 Latint 4sti.isd
