Mr. McDonald's speech at Laporte.
We published on Saturday morning the debate between Messrs. McDonald and Morton, at Laporte, as reported for the Cincinnati Gazette, upon the supposition, as it professed to be, that it was a full and complete report of the speeches of the candidates for Governor at that place. Since then we have received from our own reporter a verbatim report of the speech of Mr. McDonald. The Gazette's report of the latter gentleman's speech is so incomplete and garbled and does him so much injustice that we have set up Mr. McDonald's reply just as it was delivered. It will appear in the weekly issue of the Sentinel of to-day, and in the daily of to-morrow. Not only did the reporter of the Gazette change in many instances the language used by Mr. McDonald, but he omitted much that he did say to give a full understanding of his argument and his replies to the points in controversy with his opponent.
