[gap]

We have no special objection to urge against the [gap]es' opposition to Mr. Brentano; judging by the past, it augurs well for Mr.Brentano's success.But the Times cannot be per[gap]itte to lie about him.The fact is, that Mr.Brentano is a thorough linguis, a fine English,[gap],French, and classical scholar. Partly owing [gap] foreign bir [gap] and partly owing to his manner of speech, his accent is so[gap] noticeable,but never unintelligible. [gap]ut as to his knowledge of the English language,he certainly [gap] it better th[gap]n the gentlemen [gap] have the run of the editorial page of the Chicago Times.

[gap] chronic talker is [gap] to be a nuisance than a benefit in Congress. The [gap]on. Carter [gap]arrison has done something in the [gap] of demonstrating this proposi[gap]ion. Ready speech-making is not the best recommendation for a congression[gap]l candidate, and, if it were, we do not see that Mr. Le Moyne (who didn't open his [gap]outh at the last session of Congress that we know of) [gap]s any advantage over Mr. Brentano.
