The New York World, in referring to
the speech of David A. Wells, last night,
says: There is not business man, not
a property-owner, not a laborer in this
city who can look his children fairly in
the face if he neglects, before the sun
goes down on Tuesday next, to read this
mastery speech carefully through, and to
ponder upon it seriously before he casts
his vote on that day. 1t is in no sense
the speech of partisan. 1t is as bare of
rhetoric as it is panoplied with facts. The
future Of the country, of its material in
tererts and therefore Of ats integrity and
of its life," to use the sounding phrases of
Mr.. Evarts, is absolutely involved for
evil and ruin in the continuance for

by Mr.. Wells. Mr.. Evars and his Radi-
cal clients will not venture to contest the
formidable accuracy of this grave and dis
passionate indictment. They have, in
deed, virtually confessed it in general
terms and in advance. If they dared to
attempt defense on any single point of
the corrupt and imbecile administrations
which Mr.. Wells arraigns, they would
take up and try to disprove his startling
assertion that there shave been lost in
each and every year of Grants admins
trations, by frauds in the collection Of
whiskey tax, sum greater than all the
losses that occurred under every head du-
ring the Federal administrations for the
twenty years preceding 1960." But this
they will not dare to do, because this
they cannot do. They know that the
government Of this country by the Re
publican party since the close of the civi


war has been a colossal and costly ant
wicked failure. They know that in ever,
case in which the Republican party ha


been put out of power and the Democrat
ic party put into power since 1870, wheth
er in one or another of the several States
as in New York, in Connecticut, in New
Jersey, in Georgia, or in the Nationa
Legislature at Washington, the chang
has been followed by economy and by re

Let every Democrat in the county cast
his vote for honest Isaac Grubb for Sher-
if. He is known to be competent, hon
est and true. Let his majority be a real
old fashioned one. There is not a single
reason why he should not be fully up to
the highest on the ticket, and we should
not be surprised that the abuse of him by
the Radical press did not cause him to
run far ahead of his ticket, since he is
known to have lots of Republican friends
all over the county.

About the most indecent thing yet IN this
age of Journalistic indecencies was the outcry
in the argus of Saturday that President
Grant was implicated in an improper use of
the secret service fund for campaign pur-
poses. 1t had distinctly appeared long be-
fore the issue of that journal that there was
no improperly, that the money had been
used properly and lawfully to enforce the law
Of Congress for registration of voters and the
protection of the purity of the ballot, so that
the affront to truth and the decercies of life
was deliberate ard wilfuL. No excuse of
want of information, no claim of mistake will
avail; that journal stands convicted of an
attempt to mislead and cheat its readers, and
those who trust to it for information of pub
lie affairs, if any there be, are now laboripg
under wild delusion as to the action of the
President. The argus sheds some crocodile
tears over the "nation's dishonor." That
journal may well reflect that the nations
dishonor just at present is the conduct of a
large number of newspapers who are unscru-
pulously slandering and vilifying the highest
and best men of the nation, are helping
rascals by inGiscriminating attacks on the
bad and the good alike, are subordinating
truth and honor to partisan gain and are
disgraclng themselves and journalism by con-
duct at once unmanly, unpatriotic and nn-
rincipled-unworthy of gentlemen and
Americans.
