Show A Wholesale Libel It appears that the new United States minister to the sublime Porte once wrote somo poetry That is bad enough but it was in eulogy of the slayer of ABRAHAM LINCOLN which is infinitely worse Probably he has learned better as his years have increased and experience has taught him that poetry is not profitable that loyalty is patriotism and that LINCOLN LIN-COLN was a martyr and a statesman of rare genius while the hard that slew him is infamous No doubt if Judge TERRELL were to write poetry today it would bon bo-n accord with the spirit of his countrys history But because of that youthful folly some papers are demanding his recall Others are commenting upon the demand and the Liberal organ of this city treating of the matter a little in jest winds up with this malicious jab at the Democratic party Judge TERRELL should not be blamed for putting in finished verse the thoughts which at that time were shared by the whole rank and file of the Democratic Demo-cratic party and by Mr CLEVELAND himself him-self We venture to say there were as many Democrats as Republicans who regarded with abhorrence thedeed which deprived the country of so grand a leader as ABRAHAM ABRA-HAM LINCOLN To say that the rank and file ol the Democratic party lauded the assassin as-sassin is to defame both the living and tho dead and the libel on GROVER CLEVELAND CLEVE-LAND is ineffably mean and contemptable That is to say it is characteristically Tnbitnish |
