THE ANTI-MONOPOLIS

l;can editor, but he is none the less a
gentleman; and he does not believe
that differences oftopinion can only be
discussed with fsticuffs and kicks.
There should be something batter in
journalistic encounters than the mules
argument.
He SAYS we blush as we quote 1t:
Donnelly,s paper is getting large circula-
ton and promises to prove Prohtaole n
vestment. He "draws" as we'll in his role
of a Journalist as he has heretofore on the
stump or in the lecture-roo1n. We lind
many thingsin his paper to commend, ana
many others to condemn :,
1t is singular paper. as unlike otner
journals as Donnelly is unlike other men.
It is in the strictest sense personal jAnrnal,
bearing the impress of its editors peculiar
genius. 1t is brimfull Of fight and fun, and
bristles all over with invective and nulcule
of the editors personal enemies and IS a.
dangerous plaything as porcnPlne- II IS
always erudite. humorous, sarcastic and gen.
crally logical: It will accomplish some
GOOD, but we very much fear That it will OH
set that good by an equal amount OF EARN.
He then continues:
In almost every column you can read the
deter1ninat on Of Mr.. Donnelly to over
throw and ruin the Republican party. no
matter what may come after. II brealnes
hostility to every Republican measure,
hostility bitter as death and as uncompro-
missing as fate. The very principles that
Mr.. Donuellv once advocated on the stump
with all the power of his brilliant eloquence,
it denounees most feryently, making up IN
vigor what its arguments may lack IN lagl-
cal trnth.
Now, Frank, is this fair T! What
principle that VIC advocated in the old
days, save and except the one questien
of Protection, have We ever deserted !!
We opposed slavery. The whole world
opposes it to-day. We favored the
suppression of the rebellion. Who to-
day does not We were in favor of re-
construction upon basis of justice and
equal rights--alike for the white mas
ter and his former slave. Who takes
issue with that today No one. But
who could have foreseen that a nation
al administration would, for party pur-
poses, have encouraged robbery and
fraud, using the negroes as tools, and
the whites as vlctims' until Inc "hoie
South is swept bare and desolate as if
