of this country?
0. B Il give that up.
Y. B DR.. Hays Mckinley.
Q. B.-Does your father take paper?
Y. B.-Yes sir, he takes the IelegrGph Die
you see the last number ?' ~
Our typographical satans after reading the
above, remarked that if he had taken con-
tract to furnish His Royal Highness the Devil
with twenty blackguards, and he should re-
fuse to take the editor of the Union in place
Of the lot, he would throw up the bargain.
Our ubiquitous imp brings in a report OF a
dialogue he overheard in street in Kenosha
last week. We print it just as he brings it in,
and commend it to our neighbor.
SoENE--A STREET IN KENosHA.
Enter taUo Boys, Meeting.
First Boy-Ah, Bill, how d. do? Read the
Union this week?
Second Boy-Yes. For the first time since
have known it, it is notdull.
F. Bits dullness was relieved in rather a
coarse style. ~ s44o3
s. B.-Yes, that's so. Bnt it is like most
other Democratic newspapers, who show
mosts signs of life when they descend to scnr-
rility and abuse.
F. B.--Descend, say you? Is it not their ma
tive level? Look at the Chicago Times, sthe
Ny. Herald, the World and the La Crosse
Demonstrating papers of that party. How
brilliantly abusive they are. s~
s, Dust SO. Your right. But why is it
that Democratic editors are generally such
blackguards? II III bs
F. B.-The reason is plain enough. A GER
tain class of men alwas make up by abuse
what they lack in argument. just so with
Democratic editors, as general thing. Sell
dom having any arguments to bring to bear
against the Republican party, they have hard
work to make their papers interesting; and
for this reason, when the opportunity occurs
to relieve their native dullness by abusing a
Republican editor or the Republican party
they never let the chance slip. So with the
Union, which only follows in the wake of the
larger craft. IKE ls7y ac- .ss..,fl 81.
S. B.-You read the brilliant piece of black
guardism, the dialogue in the Union, I see.
What do you think oft?
F.B.-Don't ask me such question. EYou
know what think of it. But If I were fur.
Their to express myself in regard to it's merits
as piece of blackguardism, should say it
is worthy of the dirty smith who put it to-
gether, a'E .e.9re.i-tiee
Enter the TELEGRAPH DeUI -
S. B.-Here comes the Doctors typograph-
ical spirit of evil. Hail, SATAN Does the
Doctor intend to reply to the Union? q
Devil.-Doubtful, heard him twice re-
fuse. Besides, he isn't the equal of his oppo
nent. To contest with man successfully,
you know, you must fight him with his own
weapons. Scurrility the doctor won't use
and blackguardism is not in his line. Anoth
er thing, he would be placed at a wonderful
disadvantage in a most important particular
ifhe should engage in such ight-he would
be confined to the truth, whereas the editor
OF the Union don't seem to be-
f. B.-Exactly, see. The Doctor intends
that the TELEGRAPH shall not be the Tell lie
graph. $3.50
D.-Make another pun like that and Fl
knock you down.
+. B.-Serve me right, too.
D.-The Doctor goes to Oshkosh tomorrow
evening; so, you see, he won't have anything
to say.
8. B.-But if he should forget to muzzl,
his typographical fiend?
D.-Then there might be something in thu
TELEGRAPH anent this matter. Not otherwise
i. B.-Call the Doctor sound. He dom
mean to let the Uaion have chance t.
emerge from its native dullness, and amust
It's readers by throwing dirt at him. Hi
plan Is doubtless to let that paper lapse back
into It's old style-let it continue to rehast
Democratic editorials conjure up the ghosts
of dead issues that the war has buried forever
and cry Bonas l' "Aristocracy r' eTaxesp
"TyranyP' &c., with all the other Democrat
ic rallying cries, to keep alive its courage and
the hopes of retaining Office.
T. B.-Who are the supporters and readers
OF the Union?
s. B.-Can't say. with any degree of GER
tainty. Some good and ''clever fellows y
among them, no doubt; but Murphy McGin
mis-, on one side, and Hans Nichtslesen, on the
other, may be considered So properly repre-
senting the Democratic party in Kenosha
