The Manitowoc pilot. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1859-1932, 1871-11-02
VOTE FOR III. M'NAMARA,
in the Second Assembly D strict.

.iections to such a proceeding on Your part,
and would not consider themselves honored
by the acquisition. If people ,ctU find
their level, if you must necessarily be
classed with the lower animals, and if you
persist in naming the species to which you
belong, then l would respectfully suggest
name, the prorriety and applicability of
which cannot BE- questioned, and which
would relieve you. friends of the very I'M
pleasant sensation they must experience in
being in company with skunk. 1t is ass.
/ have frequently heard people say, while
reading your last onslaught on the County
superintendent, that there was one instance
on record of an ass talking. but that it
was reserved for the editor of the Tribune
to be the first one to ,crae. What an op-
portunity for Darwin.
If you still wish to wear the mask Of
hypocrisy, and conceal from the vulgar
gaze tone who stands high those qualities
with which YOU are so literally endowed
and which you see mirrored in all those
with whom you come in contact, if the
names which you apply to yourself, and
which are a proof of the eternal fitness
of things" are intended for others, then
my earnest advice is that you confne your
self exclusively to Biblical quotations, for
if you attempt to write anything original
:" truth will out" notwithstanding, your
unwillingness, and Uncle Philo" will
make q fool Of yon, which your rare fitness
and natural inclination will greatly facili-
tate.
An article or d" Ignorance and It's Awful
Consequences froin your erudite pen would
be read with attention and interest in those
localities in which you are known. By
some idiosyncrasy YOU attack, with the
greatest virulence those, whom YOU fancy
possess the same qualities you do. You
have but to change your tactics little and
give US some Of your experience and we
have the " awful consequences served up
in an ignorant manner. Nasty saws retro
spccts arc pleasant, bat when "a man looks
back to the time ne made a fool of himself,
they are not so pleasant" II this be true,
YOU can have bat few pleasant rcminis-
ccnces, for YOU are constantly and success
fully demonstrating your right to be clasSed
with fools. Through recurring to the past
you may . harrow up your soul yet your
experience may serve as a warning for
others not to 4" do likewise" For instance,
a few words relative to certain $3.50 we
wot of, would, ] think, be productive of
certain beneficial results, and, though
somewhat paradoxic;l, would show how
one who . stands higa could get $3.50 in
very lo,c way.
| agree with YOU, that a man who cam
not afford horse should walk; but ! think
a repetition Of that little affair (Which my
good sense tells me Is rather a delicate sub
iect to discuss i'll Your presence) will cna-
bic You to keep a horse. l, who am not
blessed with a superiority of this worlds
goods, feel, and can appreciate Your honest
indignation when | see one more favored
by fortune rolling in his carriage. Were
editor Of Il paper ], also, would inyeigh
against this luxury (until | could afford it }.
] would urge economy. |. would cite
my own example OF Self-dcnal as orc
they should be proud to follow, and
if they still persisted in doing violence to
my feelings by consulting their case rather
than my envy, if they We're county officers,
| would brand them as people ncglectng
their duties, and would advocate their re-
moyal from Office. But my hatred of
horschesh would not be so intense. as it ap-
pears from Your article, is John Read s,who
will only visit scholars who have not a
horse. Such antipathy to horses is very
unreasonable. You, who are so deeply
interested in the welfare OF your country,
should rebuke him for not visiting those
scholars who haze horses. 1t is a manifest
neglect Of duty. Is not your assertion that
YOU could substantiate your charges
against the County Superintendent by al
most every teacher in the county," I'M
founded? The adoption of the resolutions
complimentary to Mr.. kirwan, at the
Teachers Institute, where were assembled
tie teachers of the county, disprovcs the
statement, and shows that you are some
what wild and reckless in your charges
Lie, my dear friend, it is natural for you;
but let it not be so apparent. The devil
is the father Of lies; you are their reposi-
tory, and the Tribune is the medium
through which they are rctaiicd. The
whole tenor Of your TRADE, my dear friend,
reminds one of the qucrulouSness Of a
spoiled child. | am forced, ut times, to
hear very hard things said Of You. You
are regarded a sycophant who never tires
in aluiation of those from whom he cx-
poets to derive benefit; Your hypocrisy is
proycrbial; your splcnctic attacks on those
whose patronage is not extended to you is
your assumption of piety is
disgusting; your violent denunciation of
official dishonesty while awaiting the de-
of your own deep laid
schemes, is commented on, and you arc
regarded by every one as person who has
ensered his second childhood.
Your devoted friend
