The dirtiest thing done during the last
Presidential campaign, was the action Of
the Republican campaign committee in
hiring an Ohio tramp named Herman to
edit dirty sheet in Oklahoma, Miss, and
causing it to be extensively circulated
throughout the north q reflex to southern
sentiment. With the opening Of the new
campaign the Same idiotic blackguard has
been started in business again, this time at
Lesvenworth, Kas., and the first number Of
his scrofulous sheet reeks with oil the nasti-
ness which characterized the Oklahoma
paper. Except as curiosltiss Of all that is
filthy and scorbutic, neither Herman nor
his paper deserve notice. The exposure
was too thorough during the last campaign
for anything to be effected politically by
the same methods in this.
