HIS CHARACTER AS A MAN
when brought to the touch, where an in
nate honor or total moral obtuseness must
be shown in men, can be better illustrated
than by one incident which became histor-
lc in the last days OF the campaign in 1884.
This is the man who goes about the coun-
try slandcring others in the language of
untruth and unrighteousness. This is the
man OF false pretenses, upon whom was
placed the insignia OF the soldiers of the
cross, the plumes OF knights by an infdel
and q scoiler. A pumed knight, indeed
A plumed knight was he who kissed the
first lay OF sunlight in the morning as il
glanced from the cross of his sword hilt
over the walls OF Jerusalem, hoping that
perchance ii might rest again in blessing
upon his country in the west. But this
man, SO lar as ms pubic lie has shown,
