template, from view on a small scale, the
probable consequences Of the incendiary
teachings of his paper How does he like
lit? How do the citizens of Dayton like
liz? How does it please the business men
Of the hourishing and prospering capital
Of the Miami Valley?
The person directly responsible for the
not is Capt. BADGER. The person chiefly
guilty is the editor who has famed the
flames, and those citizens Of DEy,on who
secretly instigated the difficulty
Capt. BADGER and his fifteen men were
drunk. What of that Did they not
start out to get drunk, in order to screw
their courage up to the sticking point p
Did not Capt BADGER proclaim at the
courthouse steps, when speaking to his
crowd, that he was backed by responsible
men who would stand between them and
harm He did, He said more--that he
was requested by citizens to do what he
was at. 1t is very true that number of
our Republican citizens, in the absence Of
the Democracy at their places of work,
did interfere at the Office, and we give
these gentlemen full credit for their respect
for law and order. We may mention Mr..
i T.. w. DAVIES, Mr. +. S. NoUNd and Mr.
Med DANIELs whom we recognized as being
particularly prominent in condemning and
resisting the outrage. They behaved well
: and manfuily, and in these times that is a
great deal.
But the great mass of the party stood
round snickering until the gallant boys OF
the Democracy assembled, when their de-
: light was suddenly changed to fear. Moth.
ing but the suddenness and the unexpected
nature of the attack permitted the squad
to do even the damage they did succeed in
= accomplishing. 1t was not long before
the Democracy were assembled in sufficient
fo~"" to protect themselves and us.
