Ono universal favorable expression of

not man in the party who has been watch
ing the course OF this great statesman for the
last 20 years who will not be compelled to say
his record is beyond reproach that to hls

Alpena weekly argus. [volume] (Alpena, Mich.) 1871-1893, 1884-03-12

The young man who appeared to
have such a dread of having the
question popped at him, replies in a
communication to the Journal, and
probably feels better now that he has
got rid of the bile in his system.
The information we conveyed to him,
at the request of several members of
the leap year party, seems to have
acted on him like an emetic. In his
agony he accuses us of having origin
ating the information, and complains
about this paper attacking private
citizens. We can assure the young
man that he is mistaken. We do not
make a practice of guning for such
small game as him. We declined to
print the part rejecting on his con-
duct when with the party, and was
merely the agent for conveying the
information that he was in no danger
of being stolen from the ranks of the
bachelors. The full story was told
by the Pioneer last Friday, and it
appears to be true. If the slight in
formation we conveyed to him last
week had such a great effect on him,
what terrible shock the whole dose,
as printed in the Pioneer, must have
had on his system. He then gives
us his idea of an old bachelor, and
declares that even flea could find
no nourishment in our remarks. He
admits he could not. The young man
also intimates that as the article which
seems to have brought him so much
sorrow, grief and humiliation, was
not signed, the paper was responsible
for it. If SO, then it looks as if the
Journal was guilty of accusing its
own employees of being afraid of hav.
ing the question popped to them, and
then begging the ladies to let them
alone. The Journal has of course the
right to speak for its own employees
but we do not believe that the young
men of Alpena have authorized it tc
speak for them.
In conclusion we would respectfully
suggest to the young man that, in the
future, when some lady honors him
with an invitation to take part in a
leap year party, he act in a gentle
manly manner and be social and agree
able, or else he may become one Of
those beings whose spectre seems to
haunt his morbid imagination. He
certainly will unless he sheds his thick
coat of foolishness and conceit. Brace
up young fellow and sin no more.
