Disgraceful Methods.
The conduct OF some Of the Republican
newspapers toward Mr.. Davis, the Demo-
cratic nominee for the vice presidencS,
is dlsgraceful.f From time immemorial
1T has been accounted an lmpious thing
to show lack Of respect for old age, espe-
clally for honorable and dlgnifled old age.
Even the heather deem 1t right and
honorable to revere their elders. But
some Of the Republican speakers and 1ld
some OF the Republican newspapers have I've
referred In coarse and almost brutal
way 10 the old age of Mr.. Davis, and
without any swarrent of fact have tried
to make 1t appear that he is decrepiitt. 5 IN
body and that his mental powers are
impaired almost to senlity. as
Not content with that, they have ridl-
culed his manner. Of speech and nd a have avg
laughed him to scorn because in his
address at the White Sulphur Springs y
used some phrases that were not gram m.
NAUTICAL.
That sort OF campaigning is unworthy
Of any respectable party, and it cannot Cam
fail to disgust all right thinking people.
1t is the poorest sort Of political policy y
too, for 1t will make more votes for MI.
Davis than it Will drive away from him M.
