cat, Mr.. Brown, who Mr.. Noenan uses most

The Milwaukee Courier has an article
under the head of. The Present Posture -
which exhibits most clearly The present ri
diculous posture of that mis-called de ocra-
tic editor. Those who read the article will
see the purpose of it plain enough. Mr..
| Noonan holds the Milwaukee Post Office at
the hands of John Tyler, and whilst it is cs-
scntial that his ridiculous vanity should be
occasionally pulled, it is also necessary that
the democracy of Milwaukee should have an
indication occasionally, that they are not en-
tirely forgotten by their organ. If the de-
mocracy of Milwaukee do not Justly appre
clatc this unprinciplcd man, who got his of
fee BY carrying their principle to the feet of
John Tyler, and now seeks TO keep it by the
same means, we much mistake their cbaracs
ter.
The Courier says, '.Thc three prominent
candidates in opposition TO Mr.. Clay are Mr.
Van Buren,, Mr. Cass, and Mr.. TYLER
That either Mr.. Cass or Mr.. Tyler are pros
mincnt opponents of Mr.. Clay is doubtless
news to people generally, and particu larry
with regard to the latter gentleman. Truly,
it would be most dignifed and noble spc-
tacle TO witness the democracy of this nation
lending all their energies in 1914 to elect
the man who IN 1910, was an active instru-
mcnt in defeating their party and principles.
With regard to Van Buren, and Cass, the
Courier speaks with comparative GOODNESS,
but of Tyler he speaks in the following strain
of office holding enthusiasm:
"IfJohn Tyler should be tie candidate, what will
be the course of the democratic party? Why,
"Justicc to John Tyter'-full, ample, enthusiastic
justice to Old Veto-he man who dared to dc, what
scarce another man, similarly situated would have
had the courage and patriotism to do; who killed
the monster and saved the country-who did his du-
ty at fearful haZard-who perled his reputation
10 the interests of the nation. The democrats
name with gene rous enthusiasm, and would, under
his banner, rush to certain and glorious victory"
All this is worthy of John Jones of the Ma
disonian, or even smy son Bob" The de-
rs,ocracy We are told would shout his name
with generous enthusiasm. We doubt whe-
Their one hundred men in the whole nation
aside from ofice:holders would shout his
name with one particle Of generous enthusi-
asm and we dbubt whether even one sane
man, would express itore of his election,
if nominated. At the very time the Courier
is seeking to deceive the democracy of Mil
waukee on this point, the Madisonlan, the Or
gan of the administrator at Washington, de-
clares that John Tyler and his friends will
never support Mr.. Van Buren,; and the N.
Y. Evening Post, the honored organ Of the
democracy throughout the Union, says that
the administration at Washington, is now in
trigueing with the friends of Clay against
Van Buren, Yet this is the man that the
Courier would have nominated by the De
mocratic National Convention, and would
have the democracy of the nation support
with enthusiasm. The democracy of this
nation cannot be deceived by either John
Tyler or his office-holders They know that
for all they have received at his hands, they
are indebted alone to his hate and fear Of
Henry Clay and his desire to put him down,
and as they have spurned again and again
his proffered embrace, they see that he now
ieRds aid to his hated rival, from his greater
hate of them, and consequently their favor
lite son. We do hove the democracy and To-
wing it, we hate with our whole hearts the
unprinciplcd knaves, who fed by the hands
of John Tyler, would throw the incubus up
on the democracy, in the hope of saving to
themselves thereby, the spols of office.
There is one sentiment we can utter on this
subject, in harmony with the Courier; with
it we say "Justicc to John Tyler" satisfied
that justice will place him just where he
ought TO be.
