have heard many persons talk
and I have read great deal ]; but
never in my life dld l read such
puffed up items as the Waterloo
Items of the Bulletin. The charac-
ter of the author is plainly set forth
in the piece, and is dead fly csus
ing the ointment of the apothecary
to send forth a shrinking SAVIOUR.
What do all intelligent men Demo
Gratis or Republicans) think of
man that says, shat he hoped the
day would soon come when the
Cymru would see their own folly,
and vote the right way" Democratic
of course, then turn and says ''that
he is as good a friend of the Cymru
as the Cymro dare be-" Will the
hot headed intelligent Democrat be-
lieve his brothers assertion? No,
never; but he would say like Solo
mon of old, "Seest thou a man wise
in his own conceit, there is more
hope of fool than of him." Take
it home to yourself, Mr.. Reporter
and put little cold water on your
head in order to prepare your brain
for truer thoughts, then l think you
can say as David of old when he de-
scribed the wicked $50 foolish was l
and ignorant, I was a beast"
Do you think that you have better
Judgment or more knowledge Of
things in general than some of your
nearest relatives and four-fifths of
the Cymru; have you ever thought
of that? You ought to know that
there are scores of Cymru in this
county that have better judgment
and knowledge than you. Therefore,
you ought to take Dan Rice's advice,
''keep your mouth shut and your
pen at rest, and every body will not
know that you are fool" Are we
as nation to look up to Mr.. Gre
porter" as the Israelites did at the
golden calf, and bow down before
him to ask forgiveness for our folly
(as he terms IT'D for voting the Repub-
lican ticket? No, never, for we have
a Moses and Paul to lead us on to
victory again, as they did during the
civil war, when Mr.. Allen remained
at home, and the Reporter" but
seven years old; also Tilden pro-
nounced the war a failure. The
Bishop that opened the st. Louis
Convention did all in his power
against the Union, and Hendricks,
the renowned coward, did all he
could secretly, to avoid men from en-
listing. Let the Reporter examine
the character Of the above named
persons. Then let him examine the
proceedings of the two Conventions,
and tell US in his next puff, in which
Convention did Catholic Priest open
one of the meetings and who but the
Democrats sucked at the Pope's big
toe. Asmirus, "Reporte,," armirus
cymru sed maois dmira 0critds.
Last fall the Reporter" offered to
stump the county for the Republican
party; that he cannot deny, for l
heard him make the proposition.
But no one paid any attention to
him, for they knew that there were
plenty others in the township that
could do more good for the party
than he. Shortly after, he consulted
his friends C-and j., both Demo
Gratis, and ready to grab at straw, }
and like the drowning man, they
grabbed, but how badly they felt
when they found that he was nothing
but the shadow of straw. Yet
they appointed meetings for him at
which he was heard to say that he
would not support any hard-money
candidate, for he wanted more
Greenbacks. The bills that he had
stuck up at Waterloo bridge and Da-
Wis mill, testifes against the gentle
man; at the head of the bills, were
the words: IMITATION AGAINST
STARVATION. Then will
speak at Brushy Point School House,
ON the - day of -. Let all
Democrats turn out. Ladies espec-
tally invited. The Reporter" was
there in time, but was somewhat sur
prised to see only eight voters, seven
teen boys, and no ladies present.
He delivered his address, the most
of which was a favorite mule story
of his. The other part of his speech
was on the necessity of issuing more
Greenbacks. Some of the boys
thought that he strove as hard as
Jacob did with the angel, and his
name was changed; which l shall
not give this time, but will in my
next. He made total failure at
Carter's School House. Some of his
Democratic friends say that he had
missed his calling, and that he would
make better farmer than a politi-
clan; cut he does not thinks so, for
he can eat crow, skin the skunk and
suck at the Pope's big toe, as well
as any other Allenite, and cry
More crowI more crowI more crow!
A great relish, when seasoned with
skunk and toe.
My skill being poor, my Judgment large,
L will make sufficient quantity to fill
barge.
I'll call on nv friend CymrO, to partake
