We had rather believe that, with

Is man OF sense enough to know
that We would establish them In
proof, as we have done; not for the
purpose Of his injury, but for self
vindication from most unprovoked
personal assault. Further we feel
charitably disposed toward Mr.. Nc
Hugh in the matter, because we per-

One word more on this point: Each

association signed the card In the
Times, denying all knowledge that

In which the announcement was con-

Nor Is their statement, that Mr..
Updegraff's address was non-parti-
san, accepted as true. Let US look
a moment ut the partisan attitude OF
the Republican, and Of the National
parties, to determine this question.
The railroad monopolies are "a law
unto themselves" as to rates, for the
transportation Of persons or proper
ty over their lines. They are striv.
ing to prevent all legislation, tina,

their rates, Cor either. In this they
have the cooperation and supper,
Of the Republican party; and the
entire tenor Of Mr.. Updegraff's al.
dress was to induce acquiescence, or

by its publication, that VIC have no,

ter, touching the question Of party
lpolicy.
The address 5 OF Col. Norton on this
same subject Of monopolies, took
the other side. and advocated tina,
the law which had created all these
corporate monopolies, should be in
voked to control them, In the public
interest. These are the antagonis-
tic ideas OF the two addresses: Up
degraG would give the control Of the
government to the corporate monop-
olies through lack Of legislation-of
law-for their government; Col.
Norton and the Nationals would give
the control Of all corporate monop-
olies to the government, by means
Of legislation adequate to render
them i,s servant, and the servant OF
the people, and not their master.

in his daily OF the II. In speaking OF
it as follows:
