GEO. W. JULIAN AND THE JOURNAL

GEO. w. JULIAN AND THE JOURNAL.
The Journal, true to its instincts, contin-
ues to bark and snap ut the heels
of the Hon Geo w. Julian. But
the Journal has no teeth, no claws,
no sense. no conscience, no honesty.
1t is an organ of the great national thief
party The lackey Of o. 2. Morton, it has
the privilege of louise in the conspirator's
wig, or that of flea on one of his dead legs.
The Journal is sort of wart on the nose of
its party, sty in its eye, a goiter in its
throat and an ague cake in its side. The
democratic house stopped a good deal of
radical stealing, good many radical
officials have been sent to the penitentiary,
and the Journal, seeing its friends around it
fall like rotten apples in November blast,
got sick at the stomach, lost its appetite
has had the cholic and cholera. Its flatu-
lency has been terrible, and the speeches of
the Hon. George W. Julian have added to its
infirmities, conniption fits, st. Vitus's
dance and spasms If the Journal was
horse we should say it had the bolts, but
being an ass, brOusing on Julian thiStles and
thorns its braying is natural enough,
and as inoffensive as natural. The
Journal is thick skinned and scaley,
but one of Julians speeches pretty near
kills it. Prof Bergh, if he was in Indiana,
would hardly permit Mr.. Julian to be so
cruel on MOrtOn's ass. But then, the
Journal has no business to be Morton's ass
If it consents TO distribute Morton's filth, it
must be content to receive Julian's lash:
kick il may, the more the better, kick high
or low, or straight out, but as long as it
radical scoundrelism, it will be likely TO feel
Julian's cato -nine-tails when he excoriates
radicalism. For part we enjoy the
fun exceedingly. We like to see the Jour
nal squirin; we like to hear it howl its
bark is not Objectionable. There is depth
Of belly in its grunt that would please a
pork packer, and its bray would attract at
tention at donkey show.
The Journal hates Mr.. Julian. We con-
gratulate the great Indiana orator. 1t is the
highest compliment the Journal could pay
MIN. It's praise would be equal to an attack
of leprosy. Its encOmiums would be as OBJ
jectionable as smallpox scabs, and the vic
tim of its eulogies might be taken for pest
house patient.
The Journal has no remote conception of
honesty in politics. and, therefore, is unable
to appreciate Geo. w. Julian. This is not
to be wondered at. The Journal is small
fry organ of party that proposes to succeed

W. Julian, with firmness that adorns and
dignifies his brilliant abilities, denounces
the Journals creed and the Journals party
As his terrible invective goes crashing
through the army of thieves and conspira-
tors the country is treated to a succession of
bowls, means and cures. His words cut
like lances. The infamous ulcer of radical
ism is pierced, and a flow of puss,
gangrenous and fetid. comes from the
Journal We congratulate Mr.. Julian. The
Journals wrath is indicative of his exalted
elevation Ii is an assurance that Morton is
hit, that the nest of conspiratOrs has been
disturbed, that light is penetrating their
dark dens and that their damnable deeds
and purposes are understood. Touch Nor
ton and the Journal barks and when the or
gan of the great national thief party comes
to the rescue il may be understood that
Morton has given the command.
1t is fact worthy of note that the distin-
guished republicans who gave character to
the party when il had the confidence of the
people, are no longer the advocates of its pol
icy or the defenders Of its infamies. 1t is not
surprising, therefore, that the radical ken
mel is aroused when Julian speaks. He sees
clearly the drift of events, and his clarion
voice points out the danger. Loving his
country more than party, he identifies his
name with patriots rather than with thieves,
perjurers and conspirators. With such men
the Journal seems TO have little sympathy,
and there is satisfaction in knowing that its
feeble bark is an evidence that Julian has
pretty nearly whipped the life out of its
party in Indiana
