The Manitowoc tribune. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1866-1878, 1872-08-29
A0W FALLEN.

This so-cslled Liberal move has caused
many terrible tumbles. Poor Sumne
has fallen from his high position al
statesman to the low grade Of common
scold.
Lyman Trumbull has fallen so Low
that his influence with the public is nc
greater than that Of the dead Aaron
| Burr.
Carl Schurz the ill-tempered and ILL
hammered fellow who owes the Repub
lican party. for all he ever was, has trans
formed himself into clown whose gy'
rations, frothing and splutterings only
make the people laugh just as they
would at any other clown.
! The silly rawlings at Elder Upton are
so much sillier than lhey were, that he
should be stationed in an insane asylum
attempting to initiate great men. Tip
ton is to the Liberal" what tho "skin
and bone" man is to the side show of a
| poor circus: and in making this remark
We deny aoy attempt to iujure the feel
ings or reputation Of the side show APP
pendage-the skin and bone man.
The valiant Banks, who was . sort OF
Commissary and Quatermaster General
for the Confederacy during onr late war
having fed and clothed Stonewall Jack
sons and Dick Taylor armies, has droop-
ed to earth like water-soaked pancake,
and is the most perfect picture OF the
boy who had no remarks to make, the
country has produced. 1.-The could not
be made to understand what load he
has taken from Republican shoulders
by releasing them from explaining away
his military blunders, it would be some
satisfaction to his late associates. The
fact of bis having fed the Southern ar
mics will prove an element of strength
to his new party associates and thai, S
all the good he will be to them.
Then there is Fenton, once a man
highly honored, but who to-day is q
mere nonentity, without followers enough
to make respecta BILE tea party.
Poor lite Billy Sprague, always less
than thimblefull, is SO Insignificant as
a Liberal that his own crowd don't
notice him and Rhode Island is made
surer for true Republicanism because
Of his Greeleyism condition.
How true it is that these renegades
from the Republicans have not taken
any material strength with them; while
this is true, it is also true that their new
found friends distrust them. Their
present condition, politically, is that of
homeless and friendless. The over
whelming defeat that awaits the Demo
cracy aud their scabby- headed recruits
will create such an uproar in the Demo-
cratic ranks as has not been heard Of
for years. Trumbull, Schurz, Banks,
Sprague, Fenton. Upton & Co., will be
set upon by the Democracy, and charged
with having sold political stock under
false pre- lenses; and the charge will be
true. The condition of these worthless
will be equalled only by that of the
Democracy who have been led to aban
don their principles in the hope OF Sc
curing pap"
The fallen condition of the so-called
Liberal statesman Is no greater than
that of some of the great newspapers.
The New York Tribune so long
champion of the Republican party, has
sunk to the lowest depths reached by
the most bitter Democratic sheet, and Is
still going down. Several Of the most
honorable aud talented writer's who have
done so much to give the paper a repu
tation in the past, have left it in disgust
not daring to trust their regulations as
gentlemen and writer's in the hands Of
the upstart, Whitelaw Reid. We can
not avoid feeling of sadness as we be-
hold the great fall of the New York 7rl-
bune.
The Chicago Tribune had not far to
fall, but it's low down-very low. For
years it has been marketable concern.
Its editor made his money from the
Whiskey Ring, and has whipped the
paper into the stall that contained the
most fodder ever since,-F. du L. Com
