such an omniscient and omnipotent

y copy was sent to the Post at De
Soto. and 10 and behold! inside of
three days that copy was in the hands
of d. NJ Parks, and the subject of a
hurried consultation between him and
Messrs. Gay, Schwab, Prince, and
others here-nOt one of whom is a
member Of the G.. a. r. What had
they to do with the matter, except
that the resolut ons struck their little
tin god in very tender spot, and
were chad politics" from Republi-
can standpoint?
Does Doctor May deny the right of
a Post to praise a Congressman for
valuable public services to the old SOL
der? Has that not often been done?
And if it is allowed to praise when
praise is due, why not censure where
censure is deserved? Go to, good
Doctor! Thou art crochety and ill-ad-
vised.
The resolutions were duly passed by
Iron Post, No. 346, G.. A. r., a quorum
being present. Even the good Doctor
does not-dares not-deny this. 1t
may be chase business" to publish
the fact, but would our good Doctor
think so, if Mr.. Clardy's name was
substituted for Kinsey's? The publ
cation hurts the good Doctors fine
haired sensibilities, but it may not be
chase business for all that.
But, says the good, innocent, disin-
genuous Doctor-speaking of the time
of the passing of the resolutions:
"Mr. Kinsey had not even been sworn
into office, and had performed no Off
cial act" Dear Doctor, do you mean
by this to intimate that he had moth
ing to do with the removal of the board
to De Soto, and therefore the resolu-
tons were unjust? We trust not, for
that would not be disingenuous. The
good Doctor knows that shortly after
Harrison's Inauguration, and long be-
fore kinsey took his official oath, the
old members of the board-two DEM
Gratis and one Republican-were re-
moved, and three straight Republic
cans put in their places. If the good
Doctor was a Democrat, he would no
doubt call 1t a "base business" but it
was the work of Kinsey, not Clardy,
and the good Doctor is Republican,
despite the Quays, Dudleys and Fill
leys, whose erratic wanderings from
the path of righteousness must har
row the depths of his Utmost soul.
What do you call "official acts!"
The removal of Democratic postmast-
ers and other officials and the appoint
ment of Republicans in their places?
Will YOU say that Mr.. Kinsey had
nothing to do with these matters prior
to his going to Washington and tax
ing his official oath? Again, go to
60 to, good Dr. May! We love you,
but may not endorse you.
When you come to sift this matter
down, dear Doct r, isn't this about the
size of it?-Mr. Kinsey. good Repub-
lican, is running for Congress; you,
being also good Republican, want to
see him elected; and all things stand
ing in the way of his election you re-
gard as distorted factors in the hide
Gus total of what you are pleased to
term, chase business"
