Irvine DUNCAN expresses great gratif-
cation over the courteous and fair treat
ment of himself by the Republican press
of this Congressional District during the
campaign just closed. These papers GER
tainly showed Mr.. DUNCAN a great deal
more courtesy than was extended by the
copperhead press to his opponent, Judge
Thompson. We hold that the fellow who
will attack the private character of a can
didate or his family, is to all intents and
purposes thief and a murderer, and
deserving only the contempt of his fellow
men. If man has been guilty of great
wrong to society, and asks the people to
support him upon that record, it is simple
justice to criticise it; but lying attack,
from either side, is the essence of base
ness. 1t is useless, and a disgrace to those
who engage in it. 1t is pleasant to see a
campaign where candidates are treated
with the courtesy which obtains among
gentlemen.

five thousand people present. A purse of

a large sum to be invested for the benefit

that it would be very proper thing for
this brewer to invest sum-yes, all he is
worth-for the benefit of the wives of the
