the spectacle been witnessed of Il man

apparently. at least. every thing its own
way. and yet this Is just what has or-
Cured In the case of George u. Swift

George Il. Swift was ON last Thursday
permitted to walk In and carry of amid
the plaudiis of his fellow Republicans

could have successfully disputed The
prize with him and who for time Id
do so. and right valan,ly and success

a hlgh.strung sense of honor and fnll
play and allowed him to remain til,
solitary champion of the party In iii,

The Eagle cannot refrain from On
pressing Its admiration ut this nobl,
exhibition of sclf-nbnegation. and ri
sacrifice to the principles of politicn
honor and good faith.
The only claim that Mr.. Swift hn'
was the very thin AMI gauzy story thu
he had been elected before and wa
counted out through fraud. Most mel

who cleared the way for Mr.. Swift. an'
doubtless the time will come when thel
patriotism will De rewarded.
