The persistency with which the politica
opponents of Hon. Chas. Durham reits
rate and reafirm the cowardly lie started
by the Organ to the effect tina
he would not allow his name to be useC
or make the canvass for the Office, is truly
amusing and betrays the fear which hal
! possessed them since the announcement O
his nomination. Notwithstanding til,
fact that The ARGUS has stated on tn,
authority Of Mr.. Durham that, although
he did not seek or desire the nomination
he would not now refuse to run, the Or
! CAMS emisaries are still industriousiy cir
culatiug their masters lie. When asked
II how they know he is not going TO run, th,
invariable reply is. He is too good ant
able man to be put up and defeated.
Ii he 10 too able man to be defeated
and. as all parties concede. far the bes
!. man of the three, why don't you all vot,
: for him and thus preclude the possibilit,
of his being defeated? Or has politics
: become SO degraded and degrading tina
I only such demagogues and ignoramuse
as Haney are considered low enough t,
engage in them? The true inwardness o
all this twadls lies in the fact that Mr.
Dunham's opponents, knowing his abilit,
r and strength, fear his candidacy and seel
} by these despicable means to weaken tn,
. immense support they know he will re
ceive from intelligent men of all poltica
parties
