The Journal IF last week had for one
Of its head lines the ''Bolters Routed"
This was ''sarkasm, 'as Artemus Ward
used /" say. The hO'te"s won this
time. Ever since We knew the Journal
clique they were set of boilers.
THUS
They b"lted Mr.. Alley when he had
the regular nomination for commissions
er and run in Mr.. Durtee.
They bolted DR.. Langdon the regular
nominee for Probate Judge and rum in
DR.. Craft, a Democrat.
The DO ted Fred Bloom, the regular
NOMINEE for Commissioner and did
their best to defeat him but failed.
They bolted Mills, the regular nomi-
nee Of both Conventions for Auditor,
and run in Jimmy Walker.
THEY b"lt-d Ward. the regular nomi-
nee for Congress, and run in Dunnell in
1880.
So far AS county affairs go, the AD-
VANCE learned to- bolt from the
''straight" or so-called "rpgula:n Re-
publicans.
Then, again, they raised the cry of
''Democrat" against the ADVANCE:
Even there the machine Repub lean ,
led off. In 1877 they were so bad III
that they had to take up Pet~r ThoInp-
son. Il Democrat, to save their ticket
from defeat. They all stuck to Thomp-
son like ticks and were good Democrats.
Last Summer they took Dr.. Craft, a
Democrat, into their Dunnell county
Convention, aud made him chairman of
their committee on resolutions.
The boilers and hybrid Republicans
won this time.
OF course, we are not saying tins III
self defence. We are Il ''bnIttr'' ,yntn-
ever we think it right to he so. We
give the above simply to remind tie
people that this Journal clique are amy
thing and everything for Off "a. They
bolt somebody or sometli' g every ct: c.
ton and then they put on that san IT,
moni"us prayer-meeting. Sunday :ich"r
sniyel, and cry "bolter' and "D,mo-
cr,t' ut others.
The Chicago Tribune recently head
ed an account of an execution, "Jolln
Jones Jerked to jesus This irrevrr-
ent heading WAS Il satire npon the usu
Ill profession Of the criminal that he
has been forgiven and is going to ilrAv-
en-. Recently in California Il man WAS
hanged for numbering Il girl. On the
scaffold he INDUCED in the usual SWIVEL
about "going to Heaven" and said his
only regret was that he would not meet
t tie girl there whom he had murdered
lie had taken her off suddenly in her
Sins and sent her to perditon while he,
the Internal wretch, had been given
time to repent and was about to he
''jerked to JeSus'' us the Tribune irrev-
erently says. This idea was 81 richly or
tlOdoX and the miserable murderer re-
ceived it from his orthodox preacher at
tendant. Does not the moral and spir-
itual gorge Of every sensible man rise ut
at sucl, abominable doctrine? ORR not.
does not his blood boil to think that the
prevailing, accepted, universal doctrine
Of the orthodox churches, teaches just
that idea of God? Reason, backed by
every human heart, demands that the
girl murdered 10y wretcled fellow
mortal, and the murderer who is in
turn murdered by the state, shall both
have chance hereafter. Any other
doctrine bellies Nature and Natures
God?
DR.. Thomas. who is about to be tried
for heresy by biyoted Methodist
church, and who has been called to take
charge OF a great peoples church in Chi
cago, was called some months ago to
ofiiciate at the funeral Of poor girl
VIII" was murdered in Chicago by jea' =
Gus brute. On that occasion he said
there must he something wrong about
the prevailing theology which allowed
this poor child to be cut off suddenly in
her sins. without Il c|,aace of future re-
formation, and allowed the wicked muir.
derer to live until lie could repent and
he saved.
Mrs. Simpson, the excellent flower
medium Of Chicago, has begun to exact
Of prominent non-Spiritualists who re-
ceive tests through her, that they
shall certify to the facts over their Sig
natures and publish exactly what &C.
ours. Were this condition more genes:
ally exacted by mediums much good
might he done hv bringing knowledge
of the wonderful manifestations which
are occurring before the general public.
We do not say it would be wise or de-
sirable in all cases, as it would brighten
the timid, orthodox-ridden away from
investigation, but il many cases it
might be done with advantage to the
cause of truth.
