Mr. Hayes the candidate, may deprecate
personality, and Mr. Conkling who has
taken little part in the canvass, may counsel
decency; but when the trusted commanders
of the Republican army resort to Islander
and abuse and mean insinuation, the re-
sponsibility should rest on them and not on
their obedient followers. When man like
Blaine devotes an entire evening to blacken-
ing-not by open attack, which might be
fairly met but by the covert innuendO-one
of the few unsullied characters that are

sions, we may almost despair of a return to
honest argument Mr.. Blaine's Cincinnati
speech was one of the most scandalous that
even this scandalous campaign has known,
and it made the worse by his profess
siOns of dislike for scandal. He had ''no
time and no desire for personalities, /" he said:
if he had, he might repeat the personal
and political gossip" which his hearers
had never heard. He had "no disposition
to indulge in that line of gossip" if he had
he might tell them so and so. Still less did
he desire Ito rehearse the assumed belief
of political bargain between Adams and
Tilden, and so forth, and so forth. He had
mo desire for such gossip" but he referred
to il to remind Mr.. Adams that he lived in
glass house; and so on at great length. We
can only characterize such a speech as this
as despicable. 1t would disgrace the mean
est writer for campaign supplement, and
it very i'll becomes man who has been
treated with so much generosity as the
American people have shown toward Mr..
Blaine to throw out intimations of what he
either not or dare not charge openly
against any man, and most of all against
man Who through long and honorable
life, carried himself free from the least i'm
putation of jobbery, and whose broad
craftsmanship, rising above the trammels of
party bigotry, while it excites the envy of
the partisan, commands the admiration of
all honorable people.
