Tie Repository last week heads tslead-
ing article "Stand By the President" !" and
then goes on with long rigmarole of
fulsome adulation, worthy ofan obsequi-
GUS toodle Of royalty, who thinks "the
king can do no wrongp For example :
STAND BY THE PRESIDENT.
Shall our State Convention pass res

Why notP Who opposes him? We Of
Ohio know him. We know he is thor
oughly honest and conscientious.
He desires the appreciation and good
will of an intelligent, honest people, but
above all things he desires to do Just
right, as it shall stand in the future his
tory of the Republic. Shall we then
basely desert such man, fighting such

offered him to the nation because we
knew him to he the highest and purest
model of statesman. The nation aC-
cepted our offering. 1t would be dis
graceful, infamous, for us to desert him
at the outset of his career. We shall do
no such thing. Ohio will sustain her ia.

No ape of royalty could more bespatter;

He does And accepts the fraud! Oh,
pshaw!
Law and equity are said to be two
things which God hath joined; but
which man hath put asunder; and, tru-

President.
Seriously: Is he not a weak man, if
not dishonest, who would accept power
