In closing an article on the result
of the election, our venerable neighbor
Of the Herald strangely misrepreseuts
some things. First, hJwe> or, he boasts
of his own great purity, and next he
makes an untruthful statement when he
insinuates that the personal character Of
any OF the candidates on the straight
Republican ticket was attacked during
the campaign. Not word Of the kind
has been published. Hence his state
ment that "those candidates who wer,
made the subjects Of personal attacks
by an opposing contemporary, received
the greatest majorities," is without
foundation either in fact or insinua.
