malignity. low cunning and mendaciiy ev-
erywhere breathing through the lines are
his. II is needless 10 pursue this poor
creature. who ISLANDERS the dead and the
living with equal yirulence. The structure
OF Dorscy's variations from top TO bottom
rests upon the unsupported word OF no
torious aud conscienceless scamp. whom
no intelligent citizen would believe under
oath. Dorsey vouches for the truth OF his
inierminable gabble. Who will vouch for
Dorsey
Mr.. $. w. Dorsey was Republican
carpetba Senator from Arkansas. He
managed to get upon tho National Execu.
tive committee Of his party. While in that
position he rubbed himself against many
decent gentlemen. some Of whom suspect
ed him TO be thief and blackmailer and
some Of whom believed him to be an hon
est man. As q member OF the Republican
Committee he was expected TO do all that
could be done to forward the interests OF
the party that had conhded in him, but
his talent for roguery and his natural pro-
cliyity to treachery made 1t necessary to
watch him, and he eventually directed all
his energies toward the forwarding Of GER
tain schemes OF theying from the United
States Government, mail contracts being
his favorite means OF robbery. Finally,
he was detected, was arrested, indicted
and tried, aud after two long and expen-
siye trials be secured a nominal acquittal.
Since that time, failing to understand how
any member of his own party could de-
nounce or pursue him as rascal, he has
been ransacking his brains to invent rea-
sons for the austerity with which he has
been treated by an Administration which
be claims to have created, and by Repub-
licans who are supposed to owe him debt
Of gratitude.
Dorsey, having magnifed his party ser-
vices beyond the bounds Of reason, aud
having falsfied the little chapter Of politi-
cal history in which he had place, has
taken to the amusement of lying as per.
manent business. This creature, whom
no honest and candid man would believe
under oath, is just now prime favorite
with the Democratic Party. Democratic |
newspapers parade his cft.told tales, as if |
they were credible and would hold water
His ISLANDERS OF the dead land the living
are at this moment the sole stock in trade |
Of small.beer politicians, who know that
Dorsey is liar and who believe him to be
a thief. The exhibition is pitiable one.
Dorsey, convicted at the bar Of public
opinion, although escaping from juctice,
and broken man. may be al
lowed to digest the venom of his spleen.
1t would be as idle to pursue his ISLANDERS
as il would be 10 essay to rehablitate bis
widowed character. But decent people,
who know how low the man has sunk, and
how efiectualy he has shown his basehess
refuse to give currency to his slanderous
tales or credence to his malignant yarns
