Cairo Democrat, we out-lIeroded Iierod

Union Democrats, especially those who
had seen service in the army, and in full
some adulation of those who had worn the
gray in behalf Of the Lost Cause that we
attempted to keep such men as Col.
Crebs in the rear. Many bitter things we
said In the Cairo Democrat about Repub-
hcans. but We deny that we abused the
Union army or praised ''Rcbels" for
their rebellion. We did not own the
Democrat, and many an article was pub
lished in that paper for which we should
