That Bombshell in the Estey Camp.
We learn from time to time the Ell
fects of the shell which We threw into
the EStey camp some weeks ago. Al
though the time is past for wrangling
over the governor question, yet we feel
impelled to say something about the
article in the st. AlbanS Messenger of
the 24th inst, which So ably shows up
the al,surdity of the .'Davenport slur."
In the first place the author of the arti-
Gle saves the CaiedOnidn the necessity
of answering one of his assertions 10y
applying the ''arsument' to the adv"-
cacy of Meade 10y Atkins. Most Ger
tainly were We to pronounce upon
this at all, We should ''ponder"uSlH
pronounce" (nutice the force and beau
tN of eNpresSion) that such advocacy as
Mr.. Atkins ought to b, fatal to Meade
if rendered in his behalf to the same
extent that Davcuport'S is for E>lry.
The author of the article must either
he an idioSNncratic democrat az de
void the sense of smell if he can follow
in the wake of Davenport and Atkins
without detecting the characteristic
nauscating odor.
This valiant champion at E>teN and
Davenport reveals the hrilliancy (!) OF
his logic" and the lack of ORDINARY
common sensc 10y the foolish applica
ton which he made of The Cdiedonidn' $
''aI gument."
The same weakness is further hctraN-
ed 10y the boldnes> with which he pro
nounccd that lies are not logic. He
evidently has not the tlinltSt conccp-
lion of the real meaning of the word
logic. He is ignorant of the fact that
perfect logic Is alike consistent with the
premises lie they true VI false.
