The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1880-09-23

The poor old climacteric soul of
penny-alining editor of one of
our Garfield exchanges, has become
weary Of publishing "Southern out
rages!' His blood boils! He says
so! Garfield organs don't lie! They
didn't lie in 1873 about their present
candidate for President, when they
said his picture as a t'midnight rob
Der" could not be improved on! Why
should they lie now about their
'eblud boiling in hot weather. over
"Southern outrages" We credit it.
We can't help it. We believe them
on Garfield, and cannot doubt them
on Southern outrages" And worse
than all, while the soul of this poor fell
low is so worried and tcrmented just
now over these "outrages," Demo
Gratis actually sit down, eat their
meals in peace, and frequently
"break out in a wild guffaw," while
these election "outrages go onf"-
Such 'skepticism" is worse and more
insufferable than Bob I~ngersollism!
1t is "too terribly sad to be provok-
ing" We are really alarmed at the
condition of our "dear old friend.
It looks serious. It pains us in the
same place, more than the taking in
Of "two bushels of yams' would! AS
soon as we read the alarming condi-
ton of our friend, althoughHwe had
in our care sixteen sick Republicans
over the Maine e~outrage," we broke
for the advice of an eminent physi-
clan in Eaton. For the first time in
his long professional life he admit
ted he was puzzled. He said it was
a very dangerous and sad case OF
"blud boiling" in q human being
The worst he had ever heard of. He
+ gave it as his opinion, however, that
an application of mustard on the
place where "yams' ought to 60, and
one where the wool should grow
might afford relief. We hope SO
We couldn't afford to lose one o
these outrage shriekers. VIVA
