CONFESSION OF GUILT, AND GLORYING
IN SHAME.-The fact that Quay, Dudley land
Clarkson, members of the Republican Ma
tional committee, purchased from thieves
the stolen list of the Voice, the organ of
the Prohibition Party, and made fraudu-
leut use of it, during the recent Presiden-
tial CANVASS, has not been denied, but this
Chicago Tribune has shamelessly endorsed
their action, and says
"If nothing worse than this is charged
against the R. N. c., every member of it
will pass st. Peter unchallenged, and prob
ably receive compliment from the Saint
besides for his laudsble effort to rescue
misled men and conserve the interests of
sound politics.
In reference to this endorsement by the
Chicago Tribune, the Lynchburg Ne,cs
comments as follows:
Detected, held up to the scorn of honest
men, the felon's organ glories in the shame
of It's political bed fellows, and declares
that to steal another PERSONS private prop
| erty is a holy and righteous deed Could
venality be mora brazen? Could a greater
insult be offered to dacsncy?
We'll, party that has stolen the Presi-
dency, robbed the treasury, allowed cor
ruption to run riot in high places, and made
the stealing of the peoples money under
the guise OF law its doctrine ana practice,
could not be expected to keep its hands off
even bit of property so small as mailing
list; but that it would rejoice over its crime
when detected was not exactly looked for.
If there is any depths of meanness to which
that party is not prepared to descend, We
should like to know what it is."
