ten thousand pardons, even after suffering the

he did not wink we would be glad to see it.
He was present at the lecture, he knows 1t was
disturbed, he knows by whom it was disturbed
he knows too that in his first Issue OF the
Times after the lecture he gave notice Of the
lecture but said not one word about the dis
turbance. But as soon as tho Republican said
what it did ho rushed at once to the defense OF
the much abused party which, from anything
we can find he has ever SAID IN his paper, did
not deserve even gentle rebuke from him,
for doing that which could have been postponed
for an hour without harm to anyone and would
have been much more in accordance with COM
mon decency.
We do not look for great deal OF courtesy
from political parties one toward another, but
there are discourtesies which should be dis
countenanced, not only that but condemned
by every lover Of right, justice and good order,
and no man stands in a position more suitable
for just criticism on such acts than he who is
bound by no party ties but stands out inde-
pendent Of all, claiming the right to present
both sides or none, as he chooses.

Coughs, Colds, Asthma, Bronchitis, Hay Fever,
