The Democrats, tia. we iec fully justified in en-
loving biz 81 Jun Al The expense. Our readers
vii! remember the immense excitement produced
BY the publication ni The famous Mystery OF In
iqaily" in he Srca, American [.Ths) Review.
This b:meaa"Gs paper proposed 10 unfold the At
rocious frauds committed hy the Democrats of
New York .; The las, election, was greediy swal
lowed by he Wing journals, big and l:ltc, all
over the country, and lis awful revelations were
spread Tar and wide on the wings oil the press. Il
wa. all taken Tor ospcl-lru'h, and the poor "Lo-
c,s" we're, surely, 10 he annihilaled By lis heavy
artillery. There was, however, one surly, stiff
ueek.l Cerierus Of the press who would mol
sleep Will, he saw his best friends insidiously
as.ail.t,. The New York Courier and Enquirer
saw its dear friend, Daaiel Webster, unjustly
asper>cd-and, instantly, shaking OH lis party
c,llar il made fierce onslaught upon the aa-
thor OF the Mystery Of Iniquiiy," Zone Dr. Ba-
con, President Of The Central Clay Commit,ee,
vi. be!eve,) charging him with being either "a
nld,nan Or a knave" The latter rctoHed with
violence through The columns .! the Tribune
'ra> war OF words was holly kept up for some
time, when the writer OF the Mystery" charged
th.u The Edro: ol IA. Courier had obtained large
D .cuniary accommodations from some OF Mr..
Webs er's wca:l.y friends, 10 enable him 10 re-
.u " business in his own name having ESCAPED
III trnc: creditors b. a"aiiing hilnsel! Of The
B,.krup, Act" &,. &c. The Tribune having
permitted DIR. Bacoa,o PM lsh this heavy charge
twice in It's columns, Webb, ofthc Courier, cculd
stand i, no lonser-and thus announced H. de-
Ter nina,ion 10 sht the theatre Of the drama from
the Courier 10 the Courts OF Justice
"Therc is ! pon, at which folbearance

idle; il is alleged That they have tho proofs in their

r-ton, hey cannot feel any apprehension Of the
result OF our suit"
The damages are laid a; Ter thousand dollars,
aud the s;s. Of the Plaintiffs declaration is an al
legation, by the defendants, OF political corruption
on The par, OF the plaintiffs, supcrirduccd by the
purses OF Mr.. Wcbs,cis wealthy friends in Oc,o.
Der, 1912.
The Tribune does mol seem a, all ANNOYED at
the threatening action at law. II is FUSED to-
such pleasan, amusemen,s-ani is prepared 10
snioy great fun a, The trial We can but envy
the feelings Of Z man sued for ten thousand dollars,
who can turn j, into joke, and thus merrily
await the dread process OF the law:
"Wc beg he Colonel 10 dismiss all thopsh, OF
apprehension in the plemiSes-we have become
used 10 this sor, Of thing. ani greet The face OF our
lnend the Deputy Sheriff with very different
fseiing from iha, which is summoned hy the un-
welcome apaaritoa OF tina, everlasting Collector
o! M,itia-F;nes. Oar Deputy (his modes,y
