1592 - L. July 4:2/1 - Mr. Phillips, having committed himself to the
support of Fremont, now regards it as his duty to defend the character
and work of the Cleveland convention.
Mr. Tilton of the INDEPENDENT, strongly opposed to Mr. Lincoln
before the Baltimore convention, after it, sustains him and criticizes
the men and spirit of the Cleveland Fremont convention.
Mr. Phillips felt obliged to lecture his young friend Tilton, who in
return fairly "picked Mr. Phillips to pieces" in a cutting reply.
"We regret to see a man like Mr. Phillips allowing his personal
prejudices against Mr. Lincoln so completely to warp his judgement on
questions so vital to the Republic. After this severe chastisement at
the hands of Mr. Tilton, we hope to see him converted from the error -
of his ways." (12)
