MeSsrs. Editors:
We were present at the radical
meeting at the Fair Grounds on the
18th July, and gave our undivided at
tentiOn to all that was said and done
on that occasion by the mOngrel civil
Fighters, and we fully and unhesitat-
ingly indorse Mr.. Robt. Gates in his
article, published in the Wing and
Tribune of the 18th of July, headed
Radical Pow-wow, ETC." in which he
gave synopsis of the speeches made
on the occasion, and full report of
the proceedings of the meeting. He
said nothing that should have been
left out, and left out nothing that
should have been said. No phono-
graphic or short hand writer could
have reported the proceedings in detail
more correctly. He has won for himself
the enviable reputation of q concise
and truthful reporter, and an able and
fearless journalist. In hewing to the
line, he has let some of his chips fall
like fire brands In the radical camp
and drawn down upon his head the
anathemas of a few demagogues of
that party; but in return he has earn
ed the Iasting confidence and graft
tude of the democratic party of Mad
ison county. We simply make this
statement to show that we we're pres
ent when Mr. Gates took notes of the
meeting, and we repeat here that we
indorse all he said in the article above
alluded to, and Wen stand by him
through thick and thin, against all the
radicals in Christendom.

claim to have filed to the satisfaction
of my constituency, who on the 18th

endorsement as their choice for legis-
latiye honors. Should 1 receive the
nomination of the Democratic and
Conservative party on the first, viii

ness of purpose and a faith in the
right, that will neither swerye nor halt
