This Is About All That Is Loft for Mr.
Depsw to Do.
Phlddl phid TINES.
Mr. Dspsw's confession that he wss in
the habit, during the lats campaign, OF re-
peating scandalous stories abctit ladies
which he did rot believe to be true, though
always with a disavowal of responsibility,
wus one one Of the most humiliating of the
many recent disclosures of the benumbing
effect of practical politics on the moral
sense. The contributions Of upright men
for the purchase Of votes are really less
disturbing than the loss Of the sense Of
honor among gentlemen that was ipdica-
ted by tie circulation Of there club Ecan
daIs, and it is somewhat comforting to
find that Mr.. Depew has been compelled
to interview himself again and endeayor to
explain away bic offense The truth is
that there wss a systematic propaganda OF
falsehood carried on cOvertly at clubs, at
DINNER parties and at religious meetings,
aud thst those who were concerned in it,
whether deliberately or not, are only now
beginning to comprehend the infaUy Of
what they did. 1t is too late to make
PREPARATION, but it is not too late to make
apology, and Mr.. Depsw ia not the only
n who owes this 20 the public ard him
self.
