GOVERNOR WILLS ATTITUDE.
II 10 mot surprising that . man like
Governor wells. seventy ysars Of ass.
and whose patriotism and devotion to
his native Stats and his country have
been proven BY the dssds Of . long
lifetime. should ehafs under Asrsstnint
in which he 10 placed. for ne other crime
than having done his duty. Il Il no
wonder that this grsy-hsadsd old man.
whs has grsvn old In the service Of the
Rspublie. and IL now bsing rewarded
with stripes. should resent the insolssce
Of the bulldog Dudley Field. to whose
insulting questions. skillfully drawn
with . view 70 make black appear white
and white appear black. he 10 forced BY
. Committee Of Congress to submit.
Any man with the least spark Of manli-
nsss In his nature would resent the vile
ips~inustions. which. under the euiss Of

IL IL not TO DO wondered At we say
that Governor Wells hes assumed This
altitude Of q Gagged lion ; but u 10 very
much 70 % regretted. Ihs contest
between him and Tildsn's bulldog
was an unequal one from tho begin
ming. The bulldog Is hsdssd about
with all the dignity and official
power which attaches 10 . repre-
sentative Of the people. IL mat
tiers not that he disgrace tho dignity and
abuses the power. They are lodged in
him. and will remain with him until his
constituents. dissusted. like tho country
at large. take them from him. Gov.
Wells il simply q witness in the power
of this man. A national legislature
protects the bulldog, out Of respect for
IL own dignity and honor. Il IL foolish,
than. more than fooiisb. for Gov. Wells
TO lose bis tsmpsr and thus add 10 the
inequality already s,istiue between him
and hin opponent. The reputation Of
