The Cairo bulletin. [volume] (Cairo, Ill.) 1872-1878, 1872-12-13


him. Mr.. Bouton, we fear, Is too stupid
to understand that Mr.. Oberly occupies
the position Of most ofthe prominent DEM
ocrstic papers in the country, and ofmost
Of the prominent Dcmocrats--all Of the
sensible Democr ats, except Thurman, who
Is seeking to become tho angel of Demo-
cratic resurrection. Mr.. Bouton is a 20.
liical ass, who believes the Dem ocratic
party may succeed by throwing to the
breeze the banner of cast, and raising the
cry Of: Down with the niger" woolly
heads, long heels, tender shins, and other
Democratic "principles' Of that kind,
dance through Mr.. Bouton's mind--a rath-
er contracted apartment--like negroes
dancing judah in dark room. To reason
with such Democrat is to waste time.
Events boost along Bourbons like Tom
willy nilly.
Mr.. Bou,on after INDUCING in the par.
agraph above quoted, says:
But pardon me for this disgression. The
Bulletin OF the 81 instant makes u garbled
| quotation from the JonesborO Gazette. and
| YOU will do me a favor by setting the u after
| right. IL says the JOne>boro Gazette does
not propose 10 oppose Grant right or wrong,
but TO approve his wise actions anu ue-
nounce his foolish ones"
We cannot understand how Mr.. Bou-
ton depressed before he commenced, but
no matter Mr.. Bouton, in q literary
way, is o law unto himself He has N
right TO blunder. Far be it from u. to re-
prouch him with bis shortcomings as q
writer. We are no, without blame in this
respect, and shall not, therefore, throw
stones at laundering Tom Dou.on.
And this brings us to the ofcnse We
have committed against our friend Of the
Josesboro Gazette We have actually
] said, in utter disregard for the truth, that
Tom Bouton may heaven bless his stupid
soul!- Tom Bouton "docs not pro.
.pose to oppose Grant right or wrong, but
40 approve the presidents wise actions
'and denounce his foolish ones" This
assertion stupid Thomas rescnts. 1t must
not be said that no will approve the wise
| ,f hnr md
heaven forbid ,he.,hought. that Tom would
denounce foo,,shness in any quarter. Ton
IS not to be caught in that trap. lie is to,
sharp. "rHE BULLETIS, if it intended I,
be just" says Thomas, would bav'
given the article in full Us follows"
The banks and the monopolists that liv,
by protection, knocked the Liberal ticke
higher than kite. We do not propose, u
this early day, to 20 to fighting wind.mill-
bon QuiXOte like, but to Keep In view thos'
old landmarks that have 50 long united III ~
millions Of the able,t men OF this country
Neither do we propose to sing peans
praise to the powers that be, but to approve
tie right, and denouncc the wrong. I'll,
next great political contest will be between
capital and labor. and the old Democratic
| parry has always been the ad, Ocate and pro
teetor OF labor against the ehcroachihcht
of the monied power in every contest. lie
us maintain the old landmarks, aud tint
