The Ben Telephone monopoly hss
subsidized the Republican party and its
press In its unwholesome abuse Of our |
Attorney General and the Administrs-
tiou.
The impudent rogues acting - edi-
tors, seek In the abuse Of one man to |
damage the standing Of an organization |
that numbers one-baIf Of our entire |
population. Relying upon the parti- |
san zeal Of their blind followers they
assert that, while their party ismade
mp of wise, virtuous people, all those 0f
the other are fools and knaves- Wei
have too much conscience AID c0H-
mon sense TO retaliate In kind We
can go only 80 far as to say, paraphras-
| ing the sermon Of the co.ored divine,
that while we cannot aver that oil Re-
pcblicans are idiots and scoundrels, we
do assert, without fear Of reasonable de-
nial, that all idiots and scoundrels are
Republicans.

ney-G General illustrates our position.

Hon. A. III. Garland was Senator Of
the United States he became possessed,
by purchase or gift, OF stock In what IL
known as the Pam Electric Telephone

US see. Senator Sherman at the same
ltime owned stock in certain street rail-
lroad companies Of Washington City.
Pam Electric stock was fatal to the good
reputation Of Senator Garland does not

II The cases are parallel with q still
more significant feature. Senators
lSherman and Miller can by thc...yotes

stocss. This Senator Garland could
lnever have done.
