Mr.. EDIToR:-I noticed d piece In
the Bulletin few weeks ago, written
by some one living near Waterloo, in
this county, stating that it was very
lonesome during the day, but the
reapers would come in every even
ing with their long storles of what
they did during the day. Now any
body that knows anything about Wa
terloo, knows very well that it's no
town, and nothing but children and
loafers meet there to discuss the
general topics of the day, and sup
pose that our Bulletin reporter pre-
sides over their meeting, so he wishes
to prepare himself for the coming
Presidential campaign, and as he has
crow to eat and a skunk to skin,
the sooner he gets rid of his jobs the
better it will be for him.
Last fall he stumped the county
for Bill Allen and imitation. The fol-
lowing is what he was heard to say
last fall: "We do not want hard
money, neither will we support
hard money candidate; but we want
more greenbacks." The very same
gentleman has eaten the crow and
skinned the skunk, and says he is
for Tilden and hard-money, and in
tends to support the same in the
campaign this fall. Beware of the
wolf in sleeps clothes. Reading
down near the close of the piece we
see that he has given us a short
sketch Of the Cymru. He says that
this nation has been accustomed to
monarchial government, and that
many of the Cymru have settled in
this country, and are still in favor of
a monarchy, and that they did not
know when they were voting for their
own interest; but hoped that they
would soon find that they were vo-
ting against their own interest, and
then vote the democratic ticket. /
feel sorry that the gentleman does
not have better opinion of him
self and relations, as they are all
Cymru. He does not know the his
tory of his own race in Perry town
ship, although he has not been out of
the township but few times, and is
old enough to vote. So it seems to
me that he ought to have some
knowledge of his own race in his own
neighborhood, before he should ever
attempt to write its biography.
There is many a Cymro in this
county who was in the late war, and
many more of the Cymru are ready
to fight, yes die, for the defense of
this republic, while my Bulletin
friend would stay at home as Bill AL
len did during the late rebellion. l
know the history Of the Cynru in
this county, and l do not know of
but four in the county who would
like to have king, and each one of
them vote the democratic ticket, and
neither of them can read English or
add three columns of figures. And
the reason they gave was that they
did not see any use in going to the
town-house so often. Now such per-
sons ought to receive two notices, one
to order them out of this county,
the other to keep out of it. l hope
the gentleman will try some other
plan to make himself conspicuous
than to misrepresent. the Celts, it is
a very poor way to gain votes for
Tilden--although be will need all
that he can get. The democrats of
this township are willing to wager
any thing that they have that Tilden
will not get five democratic votes in
this township, which shelled out
eighty votes for Bill Allen. Most of
them are going to vote for Hayes
this fall
Several of the young men of this
neighborhood met last Monday night,
18th, and organized debating so
clety. We had the pleasure of lis
tening to their eloquent speeches on
the following question:
Resolved, That we derive more
benefit from the defects than the ex-
cellencies of others.
May they be successful in their
discussion, and that they may be
benefited by the practice.
