A wRAriruL REPOSITORY ie
Writer Harps on "AsSnsslnation" IN True
Assassin style.
The heavy outside man of the Reposi-
tory, yesterday, In that delectable sheet
unburdened himself In astyle worthy Of

and bummers, who feel sore over their
deserved defeat. Poor fellows; they feel
savagely bad. II no doubt relieves 10

II seems the cause Of the writer's
wrath was our article In which we re-
fe'red TO the hungry horde that beset
President Lincoln when no took tho
White House, The offending sentences
were the following truthful statements:

and that the DEMOCRAT nj that time

seekers, were the '~jacRals, wolves and

Those fellows we're poor hunters for
the war was over before they succeeded.
Garfield hardly got leave TO run that
many months; and his murderer was
not one OF those Democratic "hyenas."
II seems a Republican Guiteau "hyena"

The writer quotes George William
{ lrtis, editor Of Harper's Weekly, who
hbly supported Cloyt land. When Mr..
Curtis spoke 40 severely In q speech
against the Democratic party, he wanted
10 please ana control the Republican
party 30 ~ to have that party act with
some SOFT OF good sense. But failing In
that, Mr.. Curtis, like n sensible man,
