Mr.. Dean ..Rliesp the Morning organ.

Mr.. william Dean, of Newark, one Of the
plaineet speaking men of the country, has
Iriled" the morning organ to such an extent
that it actually accuses him Of being guilty
Of deliberate falsehood.
We have looked carefully over the letter
written by Mr.. Dean, which seems to be the
cause of the morning organs severe dis
pleasure, and can find but one paragraph at
all calculated to occasion such an indignant
uutburst, which reads as follows:
claim to be a Free Trader in principle,
although, unlil some other people In the
Organization OF Free Trade clubs, never
got up so high rs to hold office in one.
Had | been one of those 10 the league who
were favored with high official position, and
then turned around and for money advo-
Gated protection on tin plates, would be en-
titled to be classed among honest and truth
iul men2
Most undoubtedly you would not, Mr..
Dean, nor would any other man guilty OF
such lying and duplieity. And this is just
what "rlles" the morning organ, for every
body In this community knows that while
that paper, during the last campaign In
this State, advocated the most radical
sniff Sperry, was member and vice presi-
dent of the New York Free Trade Club, and
chairmsn OF the committee to which was
entrusted the important duty OF circulating
books and pamphlets designed to promul
gate the principles of free trade. The hypo
crisy and deceit of the morning organ
editor were fully exposed at the time b.
O. oh "a ta
this paper has not yet been forgiven. MI
Dean tonches a sore spot when he incident
ally refers to this .mi.erable instance q
downright falsehood for political effect.
However, Mr. Dean need not worry, for
man of his personal character aud reputa
ton In the community can well afford Il
treat with contempt an accusation of an
kind from Mr.. Pecksniff sperry.

We DOUBT If there is any good thing /
this wide world our windy Shipley stree
neighbor will not claim the credit of, an
therefore we are not surprised at its al
nouncement, in yesterdays issue, that whC
the attempt was made, just previous to Il
National Democratic Convention of 1880,
pervert Mr.. BayArd's speech before q
Peace Convention at Dover, in 1876
into dlsloyal sentiments, "Erery EVeai'
as the best mode of proving NJ
Bayard's attitude in the troublous tim
Of 1860, and to Yindicate him from tn
CHARGE begotten OF ignorance and malic
republshed the speech in question verbatim
and the evidence of Mr.. Bayards loyal
was incontestible." This may
so, but we doubt it exceelingl
as our recollection in the matter
that the speech was first published In Il
New York Sun, from a rsrbdtio copy Q
taiDed from the files of the GAZETTE. v
do know that Erery Ereaing scold
the GAZETTE terribly for allowing t
Sun representative access to
tiles for this purpose, but t
best service rendered Mr.. Bayard at t
tins was the ability of the GAZETTE to fl
nIsh perbdtim report of the speech, II
Earbled by partisan malice. IT the Evs
Evening did publish this speech in 1880,
was enabled to do so only through t
medium of the GAZETTE, and though Il
fact may be like gall and wormwood, 1t ca
not but admit its truth. But OF course,
do not expect 1t to give the GAZETTE t
slightest credit
