crat," came out in your last weeks issue with |
an article against the editor Of the "Demo-
crat." 1 do not appear as his Champion
Should he think "the game worth the caudle"
he can defend himself against all accusations
which apply to him personally. But pre-
sumo be will not do 50 in order to oblge al
Democrat" who says that he docs not wish !
to provoke controversy with the editor of the
Democrat How generousl what unspeaka-
BILE magnanimityl | hope that the editor of
the Democrat now feels better after this man.
Hesitation Of good will, to say nothing Of the
c0edrdice exhibited in the above extract
Your correspondent says that the editor of the
Democrat "comes down upon men who have
moral courage enough to oppose party when
they see its corruption" As he takes great
umbrage at the course OF the Democrat in this
matter, he implicitly admits that he is one Of
those unfortunate victims y upon whom the
Democrat "eomes down." because he had
"moral courage enough to oppose party" Yet
your correspondent says ''as far as | am con-
cerncd, | voted the ticket, as | have always
made it a cardinal point in my faith so to do"
What consistency to support ticket nomi
mated by corruption temperance man,
yet support ',0h9Skey" ticket (for he says
"the whiskey issue was made direct question
in that election)"-and that, too, when "any
man Of ordinary perception would Judge at
once that there was some game played that
would not stand the test" Consistency, thou
art indeed jewel lie vote the democratic
ticket because it is cardinal point in his
faith so to doP' He has long been recognized
by reliable democrats, politically speaking, as
"'wolf in sleeps clothing" He is known as
habitual B0LTER of years stauding--as
disappointed Office seeker after stations which
his Greater in his infinite wisdom did not
ohoose to give him the requisite capacities to
fill; who ever since he has been a resident of
this village, has had no other reputation than
that OF nalevolent, brainless pettifogger-a
man, / should say boy, of un5ounded self-es-
TEEN, ignorance, malevolence and stupidity
Politically, be is, aud has always been, trai-
tor. The first vete be ever cast, he openly
bolted the candidate for Representative, on a
close and very important election. His course
since has corresponded. He never voted a
straight ticket in his life, and | would bet
horse he will never imbibe (even Spiditualiy)
sufficient honesty to do SO. This same young
limb of the law" was last fall candidate for
aa Office, and being awfully defeated, supper
ted the regular ticket" with a very poor
grace. Bat ''give the devil his due" He
worked hard for the election Of Pierce and
King, with the most noble disiterestedness in
the world. lie didn't want any thing-oh no,
not he only tie post office. He, however,
modestly resigned his pretensions to this Of
fee when he found out that he could not ex-
pect the least supper: from the democrats of
| Fremont
This same gentleman, who makes it car
dinal point to support the regular democratic
| ticket J was once a candidate for the honor
able and lucrative Office of Justice of the Peace
After weeks labor in eectoneerng, he went
into convention and received Just 40 votes at
dH-although that convention did no. zap
point committee to select candidates for IT,"
His merits may be appreciated in some quar-
ters, but We have yet to learn what neighbor-
hood contains these admirers.
Your correspondent says that some of the
candidates on the democratic corporation tick
ct "cooed and fawned around the liquor deal
ers, bidding for their support, by pIedging a
repeal of the Liquor Ordinance, if elected :"
and adds, $50 conscious was he Of the corrup-
ton, that he had to buy off opposition, and get
out his flaming handbils to gull and deceive
voters" This, it appears to me, is direct
charge that the editor Of the Democrat "cooed
and fawned" &c His accusation may be true :;
but whether true or false, DO know that Mr.
Shrenk refused to vote for that same gentle
man because he had stated that if elected, he
would be in favor Of carrying out the Liquor
Ordnance!" This heard Mr.. s. say at the
polls Does it look like "coong and fawning ."
But those "aamy handblsW "A DemocraP
KNOWS that he LIES when be attributes the
authorship of those handbills of Mr.. Bartlett,
to the editor of the Democrat 1t is a matter
of notoriety, tha: Mr.. B., on the day of the
election, distinctly avowed that he was not,
and would not be candidate for Mayor, and
that the hadbills, in which he declined being
a candidate, were printed at his request. Your
correspondent says he voted the regular tick
ct. Has he forgotten that after the conyen.
ton he openly declared that he would not
support the ticket? that on election day he Sc
cretiy opposed Inc regular ticket, and joined
with the Wings and few sore-headed Dem
ocrats in support of the opposition? Surely
the gentleman must have forgotten these small
items; and for that reason | shall not endeav-
or to recall TO his recollection the fact that he
went to the last 6th of January Convention
pledged to go for Mr.. Manypenny for Govern
or-tbat on the evening of the 9TH of Janua-
ry, in the city of Columbus, he reiterated his
intentions to support Manypenny "sink or
swim, live or die" and that, marvellous to re-
late. on the Sth he "turned about and whired
around and jumped" right into the loving en-
brace of another candidate. For such a fel-
low to claim to be democrat, and abuse dem
ocrats who labor day and night for the party
is burlesque on political life 1t moreover
shows not only lack of political principles
moral honesty and common sense, but even
the natural instincts belonging to the better
order of four footed animals.
