religion. They can see no good in
the actions of tire man who is not OF
their faith, nor will they admit that
there can be any wrong doing in
their own party, or if they know
there is, they lack the moral cour-
age to denounce it. An editor of
this kind is about the poorest speci-
mon OF mud that God ever breathed
the breath of life into, and it is
heavy responsibility on Providence
TO waste so much good mud, when
we consider that there is three times
as much water as land. Just such
waste as this exists IN the arctum
of the Tucker Democrat, except that
the mud in this case is mixed with
whiskoy instead of water, and it be.
comes our painful duty to puncture
this bloatcd carcass and relieve It's
delerium by little bleeding. Be.
cause the ARGUS has the back bone
to stand up for the right aud criti-
else error, even when found in its
own party, the Tucker Democrat
secs Git to slur us with insinnatons
that are entirely uncalled for. In
the first place, because we, knowing
what we We're talking about and IN
the interest of humanity, protested
against certain mis- management of
affairs at the Hospital for Insane at
Weston, and no one ever pretended
to deny what we said (; on the con-
trary, il helped bring the authori-
ties there to thoir senses and has
made them more careful in the man
agemcnt OF the Institution. Now
the Smart Aleck above mentioned
wants to know, "Will Bro. Brown
please inform us whether or not il
was because he was discharged as an
employee of the Asylum that
caused him to damn that institu-
ton and the Administration ?"
Now if the aforesaid S. A. or any.
body else will inform us when we
were discharged from that institu
ton, We can then answer this fools
question. No one else has ever in
sinuated such Il thing. We simply
resigned our position there and left
voluntarily as the editor of the
Tucker Democrat can easily learn
by writing to anyone in Weston.
Then again this weak minded IDIOT !
says " If we remember right it was
the editor Of the Argus who fur
nishcd the Weston RepUbIicdh to
use against one Of our Democratic |
institutions--thc Weston Asylum"
Holy Smoke! Does that lunatic
asylum belong TO the Democrats
This is worse than anything wo
ever said about the party, even if
the Democrats charges were true.
" Democratic Institution ~ Well, !
this is the unkindcst cut Of all.
Why, most any OF the inmates
there knows that it is no more Of a
" Democratic institution " than it
is Pagan or uottentot Institution.
Don't the Republican and all other
parties of this state help to main
tain and keep it IIavn't they all
got an interest in it? And isn't it
the duty Of every man who pre-
tends to be human to protest
against any mistreatmcnt Of the
poor and unfortunate inmates.
The Indications are now that the
poor misguided specimen Of human
ity at the helm OF what pretends TO
be Democratic paper for Tucker,
will wind mp there before long, and
ne may be very glad to have us say
something IN his behalf. II is
hardly necessary for us to say shat
