The Cadiz Democratic sentinel. [volume] (Cadiz, Ohio) 1854-1864, 1863-11-25


boldly about me. Yes, you are I
brave fellow. / have heard before o.
your bravery-have had some remar,
kable exhibitions Of tin the Morgan
war for instance. "You are going t
tell the truth"-the truth, ehl Well,
we have had some illustrations of that
too. 'NOt going to make any more
mean, cowardly insinuations' '-eh?-
Good for you. After we have roasted
you little longer, you MAY come to
some sense of propriety. Getting
very independent of "county officers
and "county patronage" Glad to hear
it. Have no doubt the County officers
will rejoice, as there is not one of
them but regards you as the most
loathsome "CoPPERHEAD" in the land.
"Your office belongs to you"-"paid
for 1t with money you earned before
you came to the county" You have
said that so often that it begins to look
like lie. One thing is sure you got
rich somewhere, and 1 rather guess
the above facts and figures show WHEN,
where and HOwl That's a great Office
! of yours-great affair-worth you
think $2500. Let us see! You say
your annual receipts are only 5000
Of this you get from the County from
1860 to 5000. Your other advertising
is worth as much more, say 81, 200 for
both. That leaves $500 for your pa
per; Well, you MAY have 400 sub
scribers, perhaps. Now to get up
such subscription list might be worth
500. That would be high price,
Those who have examined your press,
materials, type, &C., say $500 would
be big pricefo them. Say for them
and subscription list $1,000. That's
liberal. Now pray what is the other
81, 800 for? You answer for she "good
will of the establishment" All, pray
what's that? I don't exactly UNDER
stand. Let US see, Oh, yes, I under>
stand. Thatmeans the opportunity to
''sKIN" the county outIof from 5000 to
$90oper annum. That's it, exactly. A
pretty good investment. About 5000 is
for work at per hour and the balance
is clean, clear profits. Well, Dick, you
are a pretty good fnancier. Suppose
you ''get the principal of the High
School to cipher out" the per centage.
But really you ought to change the
name of your great paper. 1t ought
to be called "Hatton's Private Guar.
rers Advocate" and I suggest Us a
replies to 'our' attacks ad-
mitted in this paper" These changes
being made, with you for editor ia
man youknow of great experience in
the Language" Of Brothcls) it would
be a capital organ for your old friend
and fellow countryman, Henry A.
Wise, whose ghost seems to trouble
you Of late. But you say about two
years ago | wanted to arrest Mr..
Allen and close his establishments
This is not true. You had better see
your eavesdropPing friend and get the
real facts. Perhaps in making this
inquiry youmay learn that | WAS more
recently very much in favor of report
ing some other gcntleman's case. Well, |
the 5th Of January is coming, and
when you arrive at "Phillipi, you will
doubtless find me there. IF the "rot-
ten pumpkin" should last thai long, it
Is doubtful if it can be handled either
BY or with a"pitchfork' or "hoop-
POLE" So good evening, and pass
along to your hole and tribe, practising
the lock-stcp when it suits your fancy,
and trading your coat if you wish for
SOME THING you like better. .
Yours, truly,
S. B. SHOTWELL.
