LOYALTY, HONOR AND OTHER

Here's lesson in party regularii,
from one, which has undergone th'
supreme test:
"Yet, wlthal, we do not see
how Tom Harrison can expect
or desire the support Of the city
officials, since ne made his
campaign before the primary
openly and vehemcntly on the
platform of driving out the city
hail gang" says yesterdays
Sun.
From a past practice Of carry
ing water on both shoulders,
The Sun seems to have arrived al
stage wherein Il is unable TO
conceive what party loyalty and
personal honor mean.
Its reference to the disioyalty
of the city hail officials is d.
rect insult to the honor and in
tegrity of these gentlemen.
1t matters not what issues
may have been involved previ-
Gus to the primary, these were
but issues within the party
ranks and now that these minor
matters are past, loyal Demo-
Gratis and honorable party men.
such as the city officials are
known to be, are but following
the course of loyalty and honor
In declining this allegiance to
the ticket named. The Suns
references to the contrary are
not only sadly out of place, but
direct insults to the honor and
party loyalty Of these men,
News-Democrat
At least, we can say this muc
for the News-Democrst ana Its bach
ers--they probably feel that the eli
hui officials can swallow the bite

Butler for long time-say two or three
hours-returned without presenting the
note to Mr.. Lincoln. This was in conse-
quence of an assurance from Mr.. Butler
that Mr.. Lincoln could not receive any
communication from Mr.. Shields unless it
were withdrawal Of his first note or
challenge. Mr.. Butler further stated to
General Whiteside that on the withdrawal
of the first note and proper and gentle
manly request for an explanation he had
no doubt one would be given. General
Whiteside admitted that that was the
course Mr.. Shields ought to pursue, bur
deplored that his furious and intractable
temper prevented his having any influ-
ence with him to that end General W.
then requested us to wait with him until
Monday morning. that he might endeavor
to bring Mr. Shields to reason.
On Monday morning he called and pre-
scented Mr.. Lincoln the same note as, Mr..
Butler says, he had brought on Saturday
evening. It was as follows: J3r5+f
~: 49, fremont Sept. II. 1912.

I could see no consistency in wishing for

the affair when in the outset they were In
so precipitate a hurry that they could
not wait three days for Mr.. Lncoln's re-

WITH MARY TODD.

having secret meetings with her at
Mr.. Francis house and endeavoring to
nerve himself to the duty of marrying
her, with what success the letters to
Speed are abundant evidence It Is
probable that Mary composed them
fresh from these stolen conferences,
that some of Mr.. Lincoln's original
conceptions and peculiarities of style
unwittingly crept into them and that
here and there he altered and amended
the manuscript before it went to the
printer. Such a connection with a
lady's productions made it obligatory
upon him to defend them But why
avow one and disavow the rest? It Is
more than likely that he was deter

should prove incorrigible. and not
