The Cincinnati Enquirer radical Democrat)
having been burned out of its former establish
ment that paper is beng printed az me once OF
the Times radical Republican, The CONNER
cial Of that city pleasantly comments upon the IN
cdental perpleXties OF the situation, as 1olIoWs:
'sThe editorial corps Of both papers occupy the
same room. We can imagine the embarrassment
that must occasionally result from such mlngling
ofpolitfcal antpode5-abo!ition editors on one
side of the table, and Democratic editors on the |
other, peppering away At each otner WIN tlle
deadly lead (penciD and thrustng vicious sta6s at
each other with flashing steel (pens) to say nothing
of the clash of resembling sclssors which play no
unimportant part in the engagement Just think!
nothing but narrow table between such merry
bellirerents One side trying to haul ten States
into the Union by the collars Of their grey jackets,
and the other side endeavOrng to keep them ont
bytugging at their abbreviated coat'taS. Between
them the States have tough time OF 1t.
EuGuirer editor is Mortified to find himself writ
ing All article in favor of the civil rights bill, and
discovers that he has got on the wrong side OF the
table Times editor, making similar mistake,
catches himself eulogizng Andy johnson.
The Clppingsr get mixed up the way to
the compositors, and if it were not for great cir
cumspection on the part of the respective fore
men each paper would copy and lndorse the most
perncious doctrines suppose the preSsmen
should print tie Enquirer on one side and the
Times on the other the mis-, AXE not being dIscoy-
cred until several packages had been sent OIL with
the early mails. Who can picture the consterna
ton which would seize their respective prOprle-
tors? Boiling with rage, they rush to the press
room together, and discha ge the unfortunate
pressman with one voice. The indignation of the
ENQUIRER folks is only equaled by the shame of the
Times people. Both assert, with equal bitterness,
that they were never SO Inundated before.
1t must be very confusing to visitors this Singh
lar fellowship. A copperhead from Holmes
county rushes in. grasps Times editor warmly by
the hand, under the impression that he is the ed
tor of the Enquirer, assuring him that Holmes
county can't be drafted" Hc don't know the wal
is over Malignant radical mistakes Enquirer edi
tor for Times editor, and thinking to carry fayol
with him, chuckles over the destruction OF thu
Enquirer establishment He is summarily kicked
down stairs by the combined editors Of the tw'
papers.
What scene election night must present as tn
returns come in, each side Of the table trying t
figure out victory, and each side, Of course
claiming it, frantic struggle between the Time
man and the Enquirer man. as each tries to thrus
his flag out of the same windpw-compromised q
last by hanging them from different stories, whic
is quite appropriate, from the fact that they tie
different stories abont the election. A brass ban
is PLAYED in front of the office. The serenade
claimed alike by the Times editor and the E
quirer editor. They appear at different window
and return their thanks, both speaking togethe
which confuses the band to such an extent tn
they march off in several directions, each mi
playing different tune. 1t is terrible mix, tai
it altogether.
