For inexcusable, untruthful
and uncalled for slander of the
dead, the editorial in the Ore
gon ian of the 16th. inst. upon
Senator Marcus A. Hanna stands
without a rival as a specimen
of goulisb literature. Mr.
Scott has for forty years ' been
cultivating his talent as a de-
ftiiner of the dead. Duiing his
long career as an editor, many
men whom the American people
hai loved while living and
mourned when dead, have ser
ved him as subjects to develope
his goolish talent. The files of
his paper will show that in ev
ery instancn he availed himselt
of the opportunity to violate
the sensibility of the people by
writing disparagingly of the
dead. A patient, good natured
public has born this debased
habit without complaint or pro.
test, but when the ackme of
outrage upon the honored dead,
and disregard of the sensibilities
of the living was reached by
the pompous egotitt,
'Who bears, like the Turk,
No brother near the throne."
Of his editorial of last Tues
day it soems but just and prop-er-lhut
a protest be made.
When Scott wrote the follow
ing lies about McKinley mid
Hanna, he alike defamed the
dead and misreprseuted the
feelings of the people of Oregon.
Here are his words about ilun-
ud McKinley:
"His (Hanna's) aptitude for
organisation nud for assiduous
execution was unusual, he was
capable of great devotion to ob
jects of his interest and affec
tion, and his loyalty to things
once espoused never wavered.
It is the measure of his grent
noss in these respect that he
undoubtedly reached as high a
level of achievement and rtpu
tation as a man can reach whose
philosophy of life is mntorial,
ho apprehends men uud uffu irs
keenly but who apprehetds
principles nut at all.' The
world in which groat poets.
preachers, thinkers, and states
men live was to Hanna and his
great fniend and companion,
McKiuloy an undiscovered coun
try.
"McKinley and Hanna were
wholly practical, ulitarian.
Tru b concerned them no more
than to the extent of its availa
bility for results. Voters wew
more than principles."
What more slanderous thing
can be said, of a man than that
he was so complete a moral
idiot that he knew no principle,
uud so abased in character that
truth concerned him only to
the extent that he could make
it subserve his ambition? And
this is what Scott said of Mc
Kinley and Hanna.
