Mr.. Geo. W. Childs Is a good re-.
publican. Good enough indeed to be
very seriously spoken OF for the re-
publican nomination for the presiden-
cy, yet here is the way he looks ut two

against speaker Carlisle In the house
was like the fight agsinst Lamar In the
senate. Both were begun and carried
on for an unworthy purpose against
right and justice merely TO catch votes.

shame OF having permitted partisan
zeal TO override their sense of right and
