His dishwater view of the change
that came over the spirit of "the
Judge" is probably as rich diet
as his readers will be able to
bear, for babes are fed with that
which is weak before taking the
sincere milk of truth. There
was a time when the weak
things of the world were chosen
to confound the wise, but that
day being passed precludes Fri
days chance of claiming divine
appointment. l should have
withdrawn from the ticket at
that time if there had been no
opposing candidate in the field.
To say nothing of the tyranny
and brutal nature of the cam
paign now closed, "the Judge"
learned from Radical speeches
that one could not be a good
Republican without teaching his
fellow-men to hate his brother,
that the contest must be waged
in the spirit Of hatred-in short,
in the spirit Of war. After.
some weeks reflection he re-
solved not togive his conscience
an opportunity to smite him for
engaging in such an unchris-
tian, ungOdly political crusade.
He concluded if the Republican
party could not live without such
damnable stimulants as a mar
tlal spirit, hatred, animOsity and
revenge, he would break from
its folds and take the conse-
quences. Judging from the char
acter Of the campaign just passed,
I expect this sugar trooper of

when you are disposed to pay
him the five dollars left to your
option in my other communica-
ton, l expect he will take a dish
of oysters with that family of
kittens Mr.. Somebody's cat pro-
duced in his paper about six
months ago.. If he had any
friends they would bury him, but
he belongs I'd a school of politics
not apt to bury anything fit only
for a foul purpose, Iexpect the
creature will be true to the in
stincts of his race, and keep on
seeming the air for amusement,
whether he is punched with a
stickor not. When ''the Judge"
was meat for the masters use,
he was frst-rate fellow, but
when he leaped from his grasp
ne was a poor, mean cuss. in
