"Fast and Loose"
A Subscriber writes US to commend
our remarks with regard to the politi
cal thimble- rigging lately INDUCED il
by the Cedar Poi. He calls it 9TH
fast and loose course Of the Post"--
which hs thinks an attempt at deeep
tion and juggling of which no homes
purposes would admit. His name To-
the wriggling pretensions of our lcca
Jeremy Diddler is good one. They
have been fast and loose to GER
tainty. Beginning with slyiy quoting
the appeals for new party (all in be-
half of the farmers, (?} Of course) made
by John P. Irish, Sinnett. + Co., to-
gether with the publication Of numer-
GUS anonymous articles prepared in
the same cause BY their disciples in
this county, he finally gathers courage
from the fact that no one has paid
particular attention to his crawfshing
movement and comes out in an ed
itorial endorsement Of the whole
scheme. This brings him considerable
notice. Among the rest, the Dayen.
port Gazette notices his backward waltz
in the item which we quoted last week,
saying that while we should make ey
cry effort to purify politics and select
fer Office earnest incorrupts5ie men,
pledged to stand by the farmers in
"terest, 1t is not necessary to get up
"farmers' party to crafty few DEM
"ocrstic demagogues whose chief
''object is to break down the RepuLli-
lean organisation.
Then what does our Diddler do
He at once says, "you are mistaken,
gentlemen; that isn't the cup the lit
tie joker is under at all"-in other
words be quotes the Gazette article
and says I'VE agree with that exact
ly.n But after having thus been fast
for o moment, he at once becomes
loose again, and goes right on in the
same article in the old strain about .
"honest men regardless of party" &c.
We all know what that means. We
have heard it for years from the "outsn .
who wanted to be ''in,n and we heard
1t ten thousand voiced from the Demo-
Liberals who at one time thought 1t
was going to take them in-which, by
the way, it did do, but not into Office.
In plain language, "honest men re-
CARELESS Of party" used In that way,
means ,s-we that speak to ye-we
who haven't got Office but want it for
or our friends. The Gazette,
not at all deceived by the rapid manip-
ulations of Jeremy D., rejoined:
The Cedar Post is very anxious to
sugar over some Democrats with
whom 1t has been herding. Let it
have care-'evil communications
corrupt good" politics.
We need not pursue this artful |
dodger, who really shows SO little art, /
any farther. Did we care to do SO we
should look on little in the same arti-
Gle In which the Post agrees exactly"
with the Gazette and quote without
or even reference to its ex-
cellent grammar, clear enunciation
md concise style, the following:
The fact is, the extortions of monop-
olies have drawn the masses of the
parties together, because they have
common interests and the farmers
which have become SO
numerous throughout the country,
md of which a great majority of the
armers have become members, so that /,
hey can unitedly war against the en- !
,roachments Of moneyed powers, have
lone great deal to break down the
PARTITION wall which for SO many d
ears kept them separated from each q
ther SO they now feel more like :,
'rothers than enemies; and despite ,
he efforts of would be political leaders !
0 bring them down to the old party ,
lates, the mate good sense of these /
aboring classes has got SO wrought up
hat they will permit nothing Of the
lind lie: the awakening of old party

1.-THE fact is" the Post man stands
N what he imagines to be that "bro- ,
zen down partition wall"beckoning Cor
J farmers party" to organize aud
ome and take him but doesn't dare
peak aloud In favor OF such an organ
zation lest it should fail after all and
cave the Post on the ground between
wo stools. So he must perforce try
o appear to be sitting on the old one
Until sure there is another one which
ne can reach. In this uncomfortable
position we will leave him, with Just
mother word from the Gazette with
eference to such newspapers, which
t is pleased to call guerillas "Too
