SITcuuOuSiy dNOlueu peTSOndiltleS'
I have on several occasions publicly
appealed to Democrats to eliminate
acrimonious personal controversy
from the discussions, and to settle
the issue solely upon principle. I
repeat my challenge to the Republic
to quote single expression of mine
prior to this recent TRADE of
abuse, offensive in character and di-
rected against any particular person
or paper. I have spoken of classes,
but not of individuals. l have, like
others, denounced Wall Street, it's
practices and purposes; I have, like
others, denounced stock gamblers,
option gamblers, and other combina-
tions and influences which I deemed
inimical to the public interests; but
I have made no personal assault on
any one, unless some gentleman feel
ing the shoe pinch, has himself made
personal application of what said
and took offense accordingly. News
papers here and there over the State
have made personal illusions to men.
This has been done by papers repre-
senting all shades of opinion. But
l do not own any newspaper, nor a
farthing's interest in one. l sustain
friendly personal relations with a
number of editors. but can not con-
troll their utterances or the politics
of their papers. 1t is both unjust
and unreasonable to attempt to sad
die me with responsibility for what
others may say or do. l am entirely
willing to answer for what 1 say or
do myself; and if l owned or con.
trolled q newspaper, would be will.
ing to answer for its uttcrances; but
I protest that I can not be held re.
sponsible for the course OF Others
who are as free to act independently
as I am.
In view of these facts submit tc
the candid Judgment of Missouri
Democrats if the miserable and filthy
attacks, instigated by influences as
desperate as they are despicable, dc
not deserve universal execration
Already my name has been forged to
a letter l never saw or heard Of; al
ready l have been charged with com
muting a sentence to buy priest tt
the support of Sam Cooks politica
ambition; already I have beer
charged with both committing, ant
contemplating, multitude of crimes
great and small. If this is to con
tinue suppose am yet to be charged
with burglary, murder, treason, ant
all the crimes in the calendar.
am surprised that the Republic ane
its allies are content merely to charg'
my offenses in general terms. Sine
they have started on this career, will
the object of first destroying me be
