Probably after the friendly intrusion Of
one Joseph P. Glezen into matters not con-
nected with his own personal or public busi-
ness, and the social disposition he has mani.

our friends, with a card of Recommendation,
might not be out OF the way. It 10 true, no
thing could induce US to pay further atten-
ton to his writings than we have already
done. and opologized too for 80 doing. but it
seems to u that before be retires into the
obscurity from which he so lately emerged,
gentle parting kick might be good re.
membrsncer to him, that he has rubbed him
self against at least one decent and appreci.
s,irg man while realizing his nswspap srato-
rial ambition.
At the beginning we insisted, from the
true and virtuous indignation of this gentle.
man, and his disgusting Aattery Of the people
of Pike county, and without knowing any
thing of him aside from his FIRST article, that
he must be some Office. holder or office-seeker.
and a mest aren't demagogue in 4 small
way. A little inquiry. or rather volunteered
information, has proven our remark correct.
He is not only an ofice-seeker, but one of the
meanest stripe-one who stands ready at any
time to do a. he has done. change his party
and politics for Office. He is also an office
holder, and exceedingly DESTROYS Of continu-
ing one-so distressingiy desircus in-eed
that he forgets his position and the decency
which it should claim. to stoop to low in
trigue and petty maneuvering to secure 4
reelection. And that he is a demagogue,
though 4 shallow one, we need no better ev.
dence than the impudence with which he has
thrust himself before the public, self-con.
stituted organ Of tho people of Pike county,
and az though their character and reputa.
ton and interest had received terrible blow,
boiling over with a righteous indignation,
and literally bursting with admiration Of the
immaculate virtue of-every body who has q
vote in Pike county! We are perfectly well
aware, at the same time, that he is SO much
tool, as to be unable to act on this or any
matter without the consen, and APPRECIATION
of the two or three persons who lead him By
the nose, and against whose wishes or incli.
nations he would no more dare to venture,
than he would to speak an honest political
sentiment contrary to that held by his mas
tiers.
Now this gentleman was no longer ago
than 1874, one Of the noisiest Wings in Pike
county. He was member too of the Clay
Glee Club. and sung songs, and hurrahed,
an no doubt drank hard cider, and made
himself unusually conspicuous. WSbelieve
he had good Wing song Of his own, which
he took great delight in singing at differen,
gatherings of the faithful. But he couldn't
get ofice--and there was the rub. So, the
Democrats having the majority in Pike
about 1916 he turned somerset in the bes,
Office seeking style, and was ron for county
auditor and elected by the same Democratic
voters he had formerly taken such delight in
abusing. He was reelected, and now seem,
. to think that he has lfe-tenure on the of.
fee, for he is working to secure his re.elec.
ton again. although there are plenty of sooc
Democrats in the county who would make
