not met at all. 1t is troublesome ques-
ton for that concern, as facts are stub
born things.
The fact of Schaefer's connection is
either true or false, and admits fyes or
no, for an answer. Our statement isthat
Louis Schaeferhas been, for over year,
and is now, an EDITOR = that his edi-
torials and all his manifestoesare printed
and issued from the Repository printing
establishment.
Now, Mr.. Bascom, is not this true
Again, we say, that Mr. Schaefer, dur
ing the past year. and indeed for much
longer period, has been an active bum
mer for the Repository ofice-that last
fall he managed to draw the wool over
the eyes of the Chairman and Secretary
of the Democratic County Committee
and got the Democratic campaign print
ing, including election tickets, done at
the ReboUtOyy Printing establishment
Now, Mr.. Bascom, is not this also true 2
Again, did not Mr.. Schaefer make
stump speeches against "Old Bill Allen
in 1879 and abuse and SANDER him !!
Did he not try to defeat Governor Allen,
Senator Ferrall, Representatives Brooke
and Sherrick, Sheriff Baxter, Treasurer
Fessler and the rest Of the Democratic
ticket And we're you not then lovingly
with him, Mr.. Bascom y
But now, neighbor Bascom, come
square out confession is good to the
soul" Did not you and Mr. Schaefer
work together for the New Constitution /!
And were you not in fact, pretty close
together, last fall, on good part of the
Republican ticket1
@ Ne do confess that of late years, since
1869, we have been coming to full un-
derstanding and conviction of Louis
Schaefers character. 1t was in the fall
of 1860 that he went East and bought
the gas fittings for the Court House, and
on his return he bounded over with re-
markable alacrity and agility to the Re-
publican party and helped to defeat, that
fall, the Democratic ticket. We thought
then, and are fully convinced now, that
there was special reason for his sudden
conversion and summerset.
Men usually act from motives. There
is always reason for the milk in the
cocoanut at least for the buttermilk in
Louis Schaefer's cocoanut.
In fact we state that the two distin-
guished editors of the Repository eSta6-
HshmeAt are LOUIS SCHAEFER and w.
T. BAscoM.
They are an admiring pair-a sort of
mutual admiration society For exam
pie: The other day called fndiwdHaI
meeting, we learn, was held at the Ogden
House, to see about aiding gentleman
to fifty thousand dollars, to start up the
E Ball Company Works, and Schaefer
had Mr.. Bascom made Chairman, and
he, Louschaefer himself, was the spokes-
man. We regret the thing has failed.
1t shows, however, the mutually ad-
miring pair
Mr.. Bascom calls Schaefer "the Demo
cratic leader" and Democratic edi-
tor" Why, Judas waS a follower OF
Christ, but it is now generally believed
that Judas was not really much Of a
Christian. Those thirty pieces played
he mischief!
Is the Repository establishment the
place from which to issue a Democratic
paper? Can Democracy emanate from
hat quarter? Come out of that Naza-
eth 7 Nay, verify
1t is very proper and suitable place
or the Louschaefer article. So, go on,
ovely pair!
Nature, to those who observe and con-
emplate her manifold forms, affords sub
ects of interest and parallel, We re-
member when lad, of taking great in
crest in the peacock, We recollect, too,
If noticing a great difference in that bird |
when in full tail and feather, and at
,ther times when the tail and feathers |
we're dilapidated. The plumage that at
racts and astonishes is everything with
he peacock, and makes it the proudest
If birds Take away its gorgeous feath-
,rs, however, and it is as full Of humility |
IS a chicken drenched IN a thunder
torm
tits good deal thus with this mounte-
,ank and Boss Louschaefer, now Of
he Repository establishment. When he
irst set sail, he was in full feather and
all His powerful editorials were full
minated from the Repository Office. He
commenced series of Sunday dis
and, for a time, had large |
;rowds. The beer, of course, had moth
ng to do in drawing the crowd. 1t was
MS charmingly musical peacock voice
hat was the attraction
But what change! His Sunday dis
are long since aHSgispielt, and |
although he continues te edit, he is as
.ame as dilapidated old female pea
cock in the moulting season. We can
get few remarks out of Mr.. Bascom oc-
casionally, but not now grating pea
cock squawk out Of Louschaefer, the
whilom fierce and furious And we even
