feel very much amused at the puerile
attempt Of our reporter to silence
Especial and feel not the least dis
comfitted.
90" must consider that the tread
of his No. 8 broganS is not pleasant
on our toes, and we like to defend
ourselves, too, when we can in a re-
fined manner. AS he thinks we can
only handle small things, we will
confine ourselves to his last weeks
feline comp iIdtiOn, for we think he
complies beautifully-though he Sc
lects unpublished quotations = and
with careful training will make
smart man-an ornament to john
sontown. We will not be so rude as
to call him ''mouSer" or Terrier
either, but will let the public judge
him by his growl, and the way he
eyes tdbby Tom.
Reporter may rest assured that our
back is not up norefur disheveled in
the least, and we hope his bristles
will not raise and cause him to act
rashly towards us, but will expect
him to treat us as respectfully as Cir
cumstances will allow, and give us
as many thrusts as he pleaseS in a
gentlemanly way. His own solicita-
lions prompted us to tickle him, and
he ought not to get so sarcastic about
it, or w" might satiriZe a little too.
To prevent overwhelming our COM

Knott, Chairman of the Judiciary
Committee, will find no defence with
any honorable or minded man in
any party. 1t goes a great way to
confirm the assertions OF Blaine.s
friends that he is being prosecuted,
and that the investigating commit
tee, which should be impartial in
their action, are leagued with his
prosecutors in an effort tocrush him.
The Democratic party cannot afford
to sustain Mr.. Knott. He must be
made to assume the individual res
possibility of his action so as to re-
lieve the party from what would be
just charges of insincerity and parti-
zanship in their investigations. If
the Democratic party attempts to as
sumo the responsibility Of MI. Knott's
dishonorable course, that innate feel
ing of fair play in every American
bosom will burst forth in a storm of
indignation which will sweep them as
with a bosom of destruction.
