ginning to recoil when anything like sucb
s1pport Of HIM g suggested. One Journal
is especially outspoken and bitter. ltsay':
Possessed OF remarkable ability and
knowledge the technical points OF jour-
nalism, which Is probably beyond c0mpari-
son, he has prostituted his great power ior
vesrs. For long time he has been little
m IRE than swill peddler campaign refuse
He has made steady, unreienting war
uoon the priyate charac er of nearly every
plblic man in the country. His stock IN
tr de has been scandal and filth. He has
b,an persistent, mendacious and venomous
H., private malice, his private hatred ana
his private aims have been his inspirations
0 her mems reveuges stop at the grave pu'
his do not The dark curtain OF the here
after hides the victim, but he stabs through
1t with an insane venom which thinks that
the blades ofthis earth can reach the breasts
of the lmmortals. There couid De no
more satanic president than DANA-ro
man would misuse the Office more or make
it more vehicle of small malice. He has
hated so long and so generally that he has
fallen into habit OF hatred which can net
be curbed. His mental nature issullen nd
suspicious. His judgment died when he
dropped the word justice from his lexicon
Public men fear him because OF mendacity
of assertion and audacity of repetition, and
because of his great moral debility. He is
a dangerous man, who has hidiously used
the power which might have made him
strong and striking figure in American his
tory"
Another journal caustically remarks;
ethan Mr.. DANA no man has shown grea-
ter lack of charity and Of appreciation in
de aling with members of his profession"
His ungreatful treatment of HORACE
GRrELrY, his cowardly assaults upon JOHN
Russell L. You've, his small envy of HENRY
~. RAYMOND, his contemplate malice
toward WHIrsLAw REID, his uncalled or
ridicule of RICHARD SMITH and GEORGE :.
CHILDs, are striking illustrations of the re-
gard for Journalistic courtesy" In the
career of this Ishmaelite. Looking back
over the time since he fret entered jour-
nalism one sees only an archipelago Of hate
and greensick longings in muddy sea OF
envy. Even Mr.. JANIS GORDON BENNETT
himself, whose paper furnishes us with
first quotations, need have but a light men,
DRY to recall the time when be himself was
his victim. 1t is an insult to the public he
has psrsisteRtly slandered and to its public
men, hardly one OF whom his mendacity
has spared to talk Of CHARLES A. DANA for
such pre.eminently honorable position as
the presidency Of the United States"
Aud thus it is that "chickens come home
TO rooss," and possible success in the di-
rec.ion of the highest Office within the gift
OF the people, might be nipped in the bud
by the very influences and powers which,
uaoer different course of conduct, could
and would have contributed to his elevs-
ton.
