| by giving it to that office.
T. B.-They want to aid the editor il
building up a business" doubtless.
s. Rather illegitimate aid, it seems te
me.-Mr. Satan, the editor of the Union
brings charge against an employee of your
Office, who he says tried to obtain work of the
Miller Theatrical Troupe, by going to Wan
kegan and undertaking. Is that true?
D.--No, sir, its false from the start. The
gentleman he refers to happened to be il
Waukegan at the time spoken of-thorgh he
WAS not at that time in the employ of the
TELHGRAPH-and meeting Mr.. Miller, he
expressly stated that this office aOouzd not tax,
his .oork under price, as Rating is something
the TELEGRAPH printers would not be guilty
of
F. B.-What is Rat among printers? Elk
plain more fully.
D.-Among them Rat means a printer
who secretly undermines his neighbor Sup
pose certain printer in Kenosha should &C
to certain lawyer of the same town and pro
pose to do his brief-work for one-third less
than it is done in the TELEGRAPH office, that
would be rafting That this has been done
in Kenosha, we have the word of legal gen
tleman to substantiate. We do work as low
as we can afford to, but we won't do it at
starvation prices, for the sake of keeping it
away from somebody else. We intend to
stand well with the other printers of the
State. If we rat we shall only earn their con-
tempt.
F. B.-I saw an article on Rafting" in the
Racine Journal week or two since. The
practice, it seems, is most contemplate one.
would recommend the Union Office to get
the Journal and read it.
DIT will not probably have much effect.
They don't stand upon any nice points there,
in their efforts to build up business"
s. B.-Stand upon points? I should say
not, from reading the paper. Punctuation
marks they seem to regard as quite superfu-
Gus.
f. B.-Considering their inclination to ig-
more points, and their proclivity to rafting,
the real Specification of the motto of the
paper becomes apparent. "No North, no
South, no East, no West" means. doubt
the compass they steer-politically, finan-
cially, socially or otherwise-so long as they
can get to the winward of their neighbor, in
" building upa business"
s. Bone fact connected with the Union
rather surprises me. Until recently had
regarded it as Republican paper. OF course
never read it, or would not have made
such g mistake. l knew it to be the official
paper of the County Board, and knowing the
County to be decidedly Republican. natural
ly supposed the Union must be Republican
too.
F. BIT is rather funny, isn't it? How do
you suppose such patronage is obtained?
S. B.-Can't say. You had better apply to
some of the Democratic Republicans who give
it.
f. B.-You seem to be rather bitter on
Democrats as class. Don't you think there
are some really "clever fellows" among
them? 5d v-5i
s. B.-Oh, yes, great many; but they are
those who, in their love for the old traditions
Of the party, overlook what the party is to-
day, or else such as, having been brought up
Democrats, look through their feelings at
party matters rather than through their rea-
son. Many man is Democrat out of pure
respect for his father. Such men are the
g clever fellows of the party. Such men
were the WAR Democrats ,"
F. B.-Would you call Democrat q "clev-
er fellow who, in the dark days of the
war, drank to the health of JEFF Davis?
s. B.-Not if this court understands herself
If such man was ever called "clever fell
low" it must have been by some one who had
such large charity as to enable him to over
look most anything. But is it true that this
Union fellow did drink to the health of JEFF
Davis in the dark days of the war?
F. B.-True? Can there be any doubt Of
it? Did you read the article Of Col McDer-
mott in the TELEGRAPH some weeks since?
F. B.-I did, but had quite forgotten it.
f. B.-What do you think now?
S. B.-I am quite of the ColoneTs opinion.
" had rather be a dog and bay the moon !"
than such son of America
F. B.-Well, let's dismiss the naauvais sujet.
and turn him over to the Doctors devil here,
who has taken notes of what we have been
saying. He'll print 'em, I'm thinking, now
the Doctor is out of town.
D.-You bet
S. B.-Well, good night. Going to the
circus?
