The Union first accused Mr.. Cable of
being opposed to the Hennepin canal,
because, as it claimed. of his railroad in
terests. Ii found that nobody believed
that trumped-up ,falsehood, and so it
changed its mode Of warfare by saying he
owns a paper in Moline that is opposed
to the cansl. As soon as it finds that
nobody will believe either statement it
will have a new lie ready.
