sets voters. Mr.. Hear SAID that be had hoDed
that he might be thought to have done his
share of the labors of this campaign, but if he
could help any man to see his duty he had no
right to be silent He said, We see this year the
spectacle never witnessed before in this country
OF a candidate for office attacking in speech and
letter his associates in the party to which he
ceedings in this canvass, showing that the max
ing of general attacks was begun by him and
not by his opponents, but said Mr.. Hoar we
cannot avoid discussing the personal qualities
of Gen. Butler.
He raises that direct ISSUE 1 he not re-
vengeful and quarrelsome? Is Re not seeking
to deceive this people? Is he not trying to
tempt them to wrong? Is be not Huwise and
unsafe? Will he not use his power to buy
friends and revenge himself on foes regardless
of ,e public service?
These questions Mr.. Hoar proceeded to an
swer, quoting from Buffers speeches, proving
tue incorrectness of many of his statements,
and aiming to show that he is unworthy of
confidence or honors. Mr.. Hoar was frequently
interrupted with applause, and his speech is
considered very eloquent and effective.
