SEDALIA BAZOO.

There appeared in this newspaper OF a
recear da'e an editorial declaring tina; IL
the hvaitn OF Mr. Samuel j. Tiiden was
sufficiently good. no man belonging 10 the
democratic party could in these United
States, make a cleaner, Stronger and more
euccessful race in 1884 for the presidency.
Straightway New York Tribune, which,
since the d 9TH of the lsmented Horace
Greeley. has never known a flag that was
not black, never had an appetite that was
not gra,ifed by the wage of the kept man,
never espoused cause which did not have
in its womb The iilegitimate offspring OF
political debsuchery, and which SUIT.
never supported 3 ticket whose picking and
stealing fingers bad not, at some time,
heen busy with the locks snd the keys of
the federal treasury -strightway the New
York Tribune, we say, published a column
Or SO of extracts from the article in ques-
ton, and then procesd ed to sum it all up
BY declaring that the BAzOo was bought by
the Tilden Bureau, and the inspiration for
the editorial furnished from New York.
We hone silly confess that We do not know
what all this means. 1t is in the vernacu-
lar of journalistic thieves vernacular
which has not yet, thank God! taken root
In Missouri. There are race of newspa-
per writers-cali.d the Cossacks of the
press-who are predatory devils. Who
are slush fellows. Who can only exist in
tina. sort OF an atmosphere whore divine
called Beecher could be permitted 20 con-
tinue in the ministry after having devoured
enc welamb of his flock, and where-aiter
revelations as shocking rs the worst that
nave ever damned any other free love Coin
munity-it was shown pretty conclusively
that about the only woman this sacredotai
Mormon had not kissed i'm the whole con-
gregation was his own wife. Where. when
female purity is assailed by these assassins
Of the press, it is admissible 10 do so if the
law does not step in, because no one dares,
pistol in hand, to defend it. Where, no
natter what the spotless integrity OF we'll
spent life has been, or how pure or just
this or that man has ever lived who runs
for q Ligh ofice-these vultures of the press
can roost with impunity in his hair, and
eover him with q de6lement worse than
besk or talon.
VIGOROUSLY at the head of this class of
journalists are the journalists of the New
York Tribune. We do not care to name
them. We could not if we would. Yon-
der groper in the gutter, with his crooked
stick and Shiny basket, lisa chiffonier by his
equipments yonder other fellow, with his
horrible cart that oozes, is q scsvenger by
his smell. What is the use of calling either
BY name. There are some night birds the
species of which one csn understand either
ty their outcries or exhalations
Th. sc fellows of the Tribune are bronzed
ed fellows at the business of which Rogue
Riderhood was the bully. and Thenardier
,he Accomplished professor. That is to
say, the dung-fcrk to do you to death with |
On the one hand the tfesses and the ten |
aerness OF Deli!sh on the other.
They were the everlasting defenders OF
Beecher in all that reekiDg orgy Of Ply /
mouth church, wherein two goddesses arose
from a sea of lust, fornication and encom- |
passment, naked, of course like Venus from
her sea-the goddess of Assienalion and |
the goddess of Adultery. Whether these
swift defenders have since |
become disciple, or not, makes !
no matter. History, when it calls the roll !
Of its great rascals, has not always of ne
eessiiy to 60 to those who are fit, some of
them, for the knife, some for the caustjc,
some for a qua, antine; hut all of them,
whether lepers morally, physically, or po-
liticaIly, requiring an inundation OF disin-
fectants.
Another of them, after having carried off
. mans wife and was killed by that man,
was married, dying, by Beecher to the
woman he had appropriated, and after
wards had monument. But what of that?
is it any wonder that the civilization, TO
litical or Otherwise. which causes lust TO be
consecrsted, would make much moan over
. man like Tilden sold out at Cincinnati
for less than thirty pieces Of silver? Judas
did receive this amount for Christ's be-
trsyal, but al that Tanmany ever asked
for the cowardly wrong wrought was that
John Kelly should be permitted to build
monument to st. Shillelah, and wash his
hands in holy water, ss another Poniius
Plate. in the presence OF posterity. God
what book might be written on the
part that the dirty shirt plays in
the destiny Of the democratic
party.
