As BEFORE suggested, we consider the
manly letter of Henry Wilson, published
IN our last issue, sufficient and conclu.
sive answer to, and refutatiOu of the
SANDERS and forgeries brought against
him by the Democratic papers concerning
his Know Nothing record. In the face
of its explicit and emphatic denial, it is
presumablc that no paper or person hay.
ing the least regard for decency, honor
or truth, will rcitcrotc the charges refer
red to. For these reasons our readers
will excuse us for not noticing the sour.
rility, falsehOods and cowardIy innuendO
with which the Conservative still con.in.
ues to attack Mr.. Wilson. The editor of
that paper has two codes Of morality
one to guide his conduct ~ = private In
dividual, and the other for use in his
capacity as journalist. These codes are
as wide apart as the poles. While he
could and did admit, as an individual,
that Mr.. Wilson's letter was conclusive
and completely indicated him, he still
continues, as an editor, to fling slime and
filth at him. He is 30 lost 70 all sense Of
justice and fairness as to refuse to pub.
fish Mr.. Wilson's letter in the Conssrpa.
tise, lest the minds Of its readers should
be disabused Of prejudices excited by
former falsehoods in its columns. We
may respect the individual, bus the editor
10 beneath our contempt.

ings were marked by harmony and en-
thusiasm, which gives promise Of good
work and victory in November. The
heartiness with which Mr.. Domains
faithfulness and efficiency in Congress
were recognized, and the unanimity of
his denomination were not only an honor
to him; but gratifying evidence that no
petty jealousies or disappointments will
disturb and disorganize the Republican
party Of the district during the present
campaign. We found the representatives
from each county boiling over with en-
thusiasm for Grant and Wilson, and as.
certained to our satisfaction that the
Democratic boasts of Republican defsc-
ton in the Northeastern counties are
exaggerated beyond all measure.

INHUMANITY.-On the hot Monday Of
last week, Deputy Sheriff Gates took up
and cared for pony, which all the long
hours Of that roasting day had stood
hitched in front ofEdward's grocery, broil-
ing in the sun, without drop OF water
or morsel Of food. The man who would
so use dumb animal is either criminally
thoughtless or inherently cruel, and in
either case, the same treatment no gives
the beast would, if meted out to him. BE-
appropriate and beneficial. For some
reason the pony in question has not been
called for, or any inquiry made for him
up to this time. He is sorrel Mustang
with white stripe in his face, and had on
a saddle and bride The Sheriff would
like to have the owner take him away.

A DEMONSTRATIONS OF WEAKNEss.-
Never did the Democracy do more un-
wise and impolitic thing than when, in
emulation Of the Republicans, they set
about procuring names to call for
Greeley Club. Our readers are aware Of
the case and facility with which the
nameS-over $50 in number-were pro
cured to the Republican call, all within
the space Of - few hours and in this city
only. The Greeley call was circulated
over two weeks and embraced the whole
county, and when published in the Con-
ssrsasioe this week. only claims 225
names; less than the Republican list for
this city alone. Thek names nrc not at
tached to it, the signature being simply
by order Of 225 Democrats and Liberal
Republicans" It is u significant confess
sion of weakness. and the failure to pub
lish the names gives confirmation to the
reports Of the questionable manner in
which some Of them were procured.
The Conservative says that so Rcpub
licans signed the call, but rs it does not
dare to give their names. we may be per
mittcd to doubt the correctness Of the
statement. 1t is possible that the failure
to publish the list may be due to the re-
pugnancc Of the Republicans who signed
to have their Eames appear in print in
such connection; or the reason for with
holding the names may be that their
publication would give opportunity to
investigate just how many are residents
Of Blackhawk county, how many are mi
nors and how many names were attached
without consent Of those who bear them.
But published or not, the movement is
unfortunate for the Democracy, Us indi.
eating Enthusiastically the weakness of the
Greeley party in Buchanan county.
