WedO not admire the slang whanglng style in
which cur contemp orary, the Kansas City
Times. usually treats public men. but we
coincide with it in the opinion
which 1t expresses in the fnllowin paragraph
"An exchange thus PUSHES to the defense of
Gov. Crittenden: when he wants u drink he
takes it like u man. He takes it openslIy, In
broad daylight. He goes where it Is sold to buy
1t, that is to say, he goes Into Rsaloon when he
chooses. tie does not step into some hidden
place. swallow a pint, and then slip out again,
chanting = PSALM BY no manner of means.
Let us add our indignant protest. If Governor
CrIttenden. or any other governor, should step
into some hidden place and swallow a pint he
would never slip out shining a psalm. He would
be carried out, and the mourners would furnish
the sacred Music.'
