Cali EOr a Democratic
Mass Meeting.
To THE DEMOCRATIC VOTERS OF
MISSISSIPPI COUNTY

To THE DEMOCRATIC VOTERS OF
MISSISSIPPI COUNTY
We take this method of earnest
ly requesting you to meet together
in tho respective townships Of the
county. at as early a day as possi-
bic, for the purpose of periecting a
thorough Democratic organization
in the coming presidential election.
There is beyond any question, q
strong radical element in our coun-
try, and that element is led by
trained leaders, who will leave
nothing undono to carry the coun-
ty for the Republican ticket.
In the recent county election
moro than 500 tickets como out of
the ballot box with the state ticket
at the head, torn off, or scratched.
This speaks more plainly than
words, Of the determination Of our
enemies to defeat us in November,
and unless every energy of tho
people IS put forth, and every
Democratic voter induced to go to
the polls, we may look for total
defeat of honest principles, so far
as the vote of ono county can so to
accomplish II.
For these and many other rca-
sons that cannot here bo enumcrat-
ed, wo again urge upon You the
necessity OF immediate action.
Meet together, organize Hancock
and English clubs, and discuss the
great issue OF the day, and then lot
the people say "under which king"
they prefer to live.
The people of Monroe township,
and all those who can meet with
them are hereby requested to meet
at the court house, in Osceola on
Saturday, the End day of October,
for the purpose of organizing a
Hancock and English club, and
such other measures us tho occasion
may suggest.

morodly without the least personal
reflection on you. You under pre-.
tense that you had been insultcd
by us, replied in an insulting, pro-
fame and abusive article, which we
publish and rejoin to, contrary
to your expectation, no doubt.
You mistake the smart Of wounded
vanity as the effect of an insult. 1t
is all very fine to arraign an editor
because he chooses to rejoice over
the election of some candidate and
to mourn over the defeat of others,
provided he will submit to your
impertincnce and say nothing but
if he answers, it is an itsult. We
are poor T; but We are too rich to
submit without q word to your die
tation. Whom did we ever speak
of Mr.. Bacchus, for example, as a
kind good natured dmid democrat !?
Never. That was an insulting fling
OF your own. 1t you are offended
at our style OF answering you, both
what you have writton and ourself
is before an intelligent public. and
we will abide their decision, and
here we will drop the subject.

Your unjournalIstic, dramatically

surprising, and, at the same time
really amusing, abounding as it does
in plain Arkansas witicism, sarcasm
and bufooncry, all unexpected and
uncalled Tor in my article. The
words |, and the Viper, caused a
stream OF cloqucnco to gush forth
from the point of your quill that
is quite surprising, and, being intcn.

to ridicule the poor Jupitarian cul.

Grief Of Editorial Life

The reader ola newspaper, when
cursing the editor on account OF
some trashy communication, ad-
mittcd to its columns, ought not TO
be too hard on him. He is often
placed in the sad dilemma Of print.
ing the trash, or making the putty
headed author an enemy for lite,
by declining to do so; mon who
are learning to write, and wish TO
master the language, like to see
themselves IN print. The subject
of the articles is of minor impor-
tance-they write, not for the bene-
fit of the public, but as an exercise
for their genius. With them, a
newspaper is merely a kind of
frame on which they can hang and
view their ideas. Plain proof OF
this may be found in the fact, that
if the editor replies to one of their
articles, they become ashy, wrathy
and indignant. A reply is not cx-
pected or If it is, they expect it to
be in the way of hightalutin, un-
meaning compliments on the beau
ty and felicity of the style. The
editor is not expected to defend
himself, or friends, if attacked. The
writer wants to be left master OF
the field as a tribute to his genius.

Ifany one should affirm the above
article to have been written by
"crazy Susan," an unfortunate la
dy once imprisoned in our county
Jail rs q lunatic, in justice to Su-
san, we should promptly deny the
charge. The man that wrote it is
not exactly crazy, but suffering
from an awful sense Of wounded
vanity. Instead of treating his
last communication as a brilliant
cfusion of genius, we fepllcd to it,
exposed the nonsense in it, made
fun of it, laughed at, made jokes on
it, and utterly failed TO treat it as a
literary gem, and hence the genus
that wrote i; thinks we have insult
ed him lie says our reply was
unjournalistic; but admits that it
was dramatically faultlcss, really
amusing, abounding in plain Ar
kansas wit, sarcasm and bufIooncry.
If so many excclcncics are to be
met with in an uniournahstio aru-
Gle, the effect must have been hight
cned by being unexpected and un-
called for. Writing for the benefit
OF Arkansas readers, we gave them
Arkansas witticisms at the expense
of writer who evidently feels as
great a contempt for Arkansas and
her people as our readers did for
his article of last week..
Tho offended genius promises to
tell US IN plain English and in ao-
cordance with the rules of gram
mar that The said accusation is n
