"To Speak Truth is Not to Speak
Ev1l.''

Ev1l.'
The Union seems to be considerably
exercised over an article which appeared
in THE ARGUS on Friday regarding the
late Senator Morton, and in the course of
its remarks. says:
The article in THE ARGUS has created
no little indignation among men who wore
the blue and respect all who aided the
great cause, whether they have since been
known as republicans or democrats. There
is not single soldier in the land to-day,
no matter it he has been led astray into
the democratic fold, but has sincere
respect for Oliver P. Morton or doubts
that patriotism was the governing motive
of his energetic action.
Further it says:
1t does not even give him credit for the
grace of sincerity in suppressing treason
| in his own state and making such hercu-
lean exertions to aid the Union cause; it
| does not even give him credit for love
| of country.
| The article in question gave the late
senator credit for every effort he made in
putting down the rebellion, but it did not
set him up on pedestal as a demigod to
be worshiped by the people. as the Union
would have him. To speak truth is not
to speak evil, and The ARGUS prefers to
give the truthin regard to one whose record
is part and great part of the American
history of the past sixteen years, rather
than fulsome sdulations, and comforting
of facts (simply because 'he sleeps bis
