The Davenport Democrat and News recently had the unblushing effrontery to assert coolly as a fact, in its editorial columns, that there are two Democrats in the Army to one Republican! We do not hesitate to denounce as disloyal, any journal that will assert such base falsehoods for such base purposes as were indicated by the connection in which it occurred in the Democrat and News. Such unscrupulous statements will only defeat their own design, for no newspaper reader is so ignorant as not to know that they are shamelessly false. – Marengo Review.
