Mr.. Bayard's worst fault Is not the wretched
careIessness or incompetence of his conduct.
Worse than that by far Is the Willingness winch
he betrays to bully and cosrce weak neighbor,
eyen in n case where it is questionable what strict
Justice demands, though he temporizes ana delays
beyond ulI endurance, and is willing to accept any
excuse or preex for loss of time aud IS so irreso-
lute and so mild of speech that nobody expccts 10
yet ANYTHING done In dealing with a strong POWER.
This contrast. If nDt soon removed by change IN
Mr. Bayards conduct, will prove to the United
State. a lasting disgrace. This nation IS strong
bnt its people have not the spirit OF old-fashioned
Southern plantation bragyarts fond OF talking
fight, but not fond Of meeting on equal terms any
antagonist of equal force. hat is by no means the
spirit in which the respectable people OF TINS
country want to treat any international question.
They desire a courteous blt firm defence OF the
rights of this nation. and of every one Oh its
citizens; equally firm and equally courteous,
whether AGAINST strong or weak rover. but
