.Another ARGUS Migrepresentation


The article in yesterdays Argus headed
"Bradstreet fioored at Harrison" is worthy of
notice for it's inaccuracies. 1t was stated that
no subject had been agreed on for discussion
and that Whitman did not know of it until the
day before: that Whitman stated to the au-
dience that he was not prepared because he
had not known of it. The fact is that two
weeks previous to that Whitman challenged
Bradstreet and named the 10th for his discus
sion, and one week before the discussion the
last correspondence between them passed on
the subject. Whitman has not only been
speaking in this campaign but was at the joint
discussion in West Baldwin few days since
on purpose to learn Bradstreet's points, which
however did him no good as he was unable to
answer any of them. Whitman in his argu-
ment at Harrison made no points, as every in
telligent man admitted. The very thing
which originally led to the joint discussion
was the attempt of Whitman two weeks be-.
fore to convince Bradstreet that the Green
back platform was sound, and yet Whitman
was forced to admit that he took no stock in
the Greenback theory. He oontented himself
with attempting to reconcile his conscience
and to save his self-respect in this inconsistent
fusion business.
Bradstreet's argument was earnest and able.
He has proved himself one of the most efficient
campaign speakers put on the stump this year,
and the idea that Whitman overcame him is
simply preposterous.
