Marshall County Republican. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1856-1878, 1867-03-29

man of his mental caliber We have copied
no sentiment but our own, and we are not
obliged to consult shilling publication
Of Shakespeare sayings to assist us in
writing newspaper article as the = is wont
TO do. We dislike to deal in personalities,
but when driven TO it, as we are in this
case, they arc weapons we can make use
of. Heretofore we have treated this
nincOmpoop as possessing some Of the
qualifications OF gentleman, but, finding
ourself mistaken, wo will briefly examine
the fellow and sec what there really Is OF
him. There is not the least probability of
any person wondering that the bulb situated
on the upper extremity of his carcass
contains all he knows. Originality is a
stranger To him, or rather he is stranger
to originality, and, like the monkey tribe,
is simply initiative. He is Democrat in
imitation of his father who subscribcs to
that political creed. BY some means he
was thrown among railroad men, and by
his baboon powers of imitation learned
enough to check baggage, sell tickets,
(though he is frequently puzzled in making
change) and send off and receive freight,
with the assistance ofthe conductor From
some cause or other (pity VIC supposed he
was appointed agent at this place and re-
tains the position simply because no one
has taken the trouble TO inform the compa-
ny of his Objectionable character. lie con
tributes an article occasionally to the
Democrat. though nothing reliable has ever
appeared in his communications He
copies largely from Shakespeare shilling
copy of his sayings is always on the table
by his side-and if any thing therein
contained should apply to the subject he is
considering the correspondence is only
accidental. But, notwithstanding his lack
of brain power, he possesses a supernatural
ance of pedanlry and is continually boast
ing Gin his sly way of courSc) OF his ac-
complishmerts. In music he considers
himself Ia supriOris and is surprised that
any one else in Bourbon should presume
to possess 4 knowledge of the science.
When called upon TO sing in public his
disgusting cgoiism is elevated at least one
degree. He processes peculiar luciiity OF
mind on subjects of theology and is often
heard to bCas; CT a letter lie wrote 10 his
father, Just before he was thrown out OF
business at Chicago, in which he claims
TO have diSsipaled all mysteries. The
epistle is treasured by his father, he says, as
a memorial of his greatness. The truth is
bis doctrines of religion were impressed
upon his parrOt-like mind 10y his paternal
relative, outside OF which his brain has
never terminated Il single thought. As an
infamous thlsifer he is an imitator OF the
notorious lackguaTl, Brick" Pomeroy,
of whom he is a devoted admircr The
fact il Dan. is seeking nOforicty. and.
knowing that the WRITINGS OF "ss5rich" are
favorably received. Jy ms party, he endcav-
ors in his WEAKNESS TO adopt his style, in
the hnSe OF attracting some notice. We
VII give the feeble, scintillating luminary
credit, however. for originating second

to render hs fllSchoOds plausible, but,
when proved liar, abandOns all defense

readers, Mr.. Ed, will observe that he is
not even a sharp liar IE his last remarkG-

nirds his opn business, which little item. will
/ be read with surprise by many of our
citizens. If the remark had emanated

sounded much better, but we suppose this
is what the fellow means by blowing his
own horn" We havn't much confidence
in any thing he says, but ii he will reduce
the statement to- practice the public will he

occupying so much space in speaking OF
him. The fact is he is unworthy fnOtice
and we will not speak of him more unless
future events compel us to.
