MR.. JOHN C. CAMPBELL.

The stupidity of the Ottawa RepuJitroH
must be sore trul to its party leaders. No
wonder there is hard swearing among them
again over its foolish and ridiculouSly mat
alyob attack on Mr.. Campbell this week.
These stories about Mr. Campbell employing
labores to build railroads and then failing to
pay them their wages, were admirable little
lies to peddle about from mouth to mouth by
travelling republican electioncerng agents
through the county, and doubtless were doing
Icon had to blow them, and thus giving them
a tangible shape, Mr.. Campbell was able to
grasp and throttle them. We refer to Mr..
Campbell's clear and manly statement on that
umn and submit that il is setter and leaves
nothing more to be said on the subject. If a
carrot could be made to blush, the face Of the
Republican editor ought to crimson with cs-
pecial shame at the grossness of his falsehood,
in charging Mr.. Campbell with cheating his
laborers on road on which he: never had a
contract or did dollars worth OF work
The Republican, is equally malddroH in its
reference to Mr.. Campbclls qualifications for
the office. Mr.. Campbell Is well known as a
man OF thorough education, and AS a clerk,
book keeper and accountant to have no supe-
rior in the county. To attempt to impugn
him in that respect naturally suggests Il com
parison between him and his opponent on that
score, and the R,puJlicdm's challenge to such
a comparison we submit is rudely unfeelng
and unkind to Mr.. Stockslegcr.
1t is pity the Republican. deferred its as.
saults on Mr. Campbell-unintentional no
Idoubt-until so near the day Of election, for
they are of IA kind that might have done him
n great service and placed him under lasting
obligations TO the pigconhearted editor, espec-
tally for the generous and praiseworthy mo,
tivcs that no doubt prompted them.
