THE CAUSTIC PEN
OF WITTY GEORGE MARION.
"NIore Mighty than the Sword" is Stabb-
cd into the Journal

1 on George Marion the gush man OF the
Democrat, us does red flag Haunted
in the face of an enragcd bull
: makes him snort and paw around us
il he wanted to do something "real
mean" and in order to. relieve himself
of his pent up emotion he crawls up
the stairway to the highest realm in
which he seems to be able to remain
the Democrat sanctum) and grinds out
something that indicates his great
depth of thought and brilliancy, OF
which the following in last Saturdays
Daily Democrat is a sample:
Ed. Blue of the Perrysburg Journal
ls in town again to-day.
Now, if Eddie would only purchase a
phonograph, he could save himself lots
of trouble and expense.
The phonograph could be shipped
back and forth from Perrysbarg for a
small amount, would save Ed many
railroad pass coupons and number of
silver 'plunks."
The Sentinel gang could open their
mouths and gurgls in the phonograph
and ship it over to the Journal Office.
There Eddie could print what the
thing said until it ran out of Republican
politics, and then return it for Loading
again. This thing could be kept up
indefinitely, or until the phonograph
died of sour stomach or refused to lie.
What a saving of expense to Ed II
phonograph would be.
AS to the phonograph scheme, "
Georgia, we'll admit it would be a
great saying but we didn't suppose you
would be willing to put us ION to" your
own pet scheme of securing political
editorials. When in the Democrat Of
flee Il short time since, IL is reported, n
gentleman noticed IL number OF little
cylinders like those used in phOnO
graph, and observed that the labels on
the cylinders indicated the names OF
the great men who had breathed into
them the spirit of true Democracy |
and some of the most noted names on
cylinders were "Hon. b. +. Ritchie, the
big trump" 81. G. Cole, the little
joker" and numerous other heavy poll
ticians, and it is supposed the scheme
originated with Marion, who very
kindly gives us a pointer on the above
quoted item. We thank you, Georgia,
for the idea, and when we get down to
wearing the same size of bonnet that
adorns your own Uranium it will be
necessary TO adopt the phonOgraph,
but at present we are perfectly able to
remember all we hear. For your
kindness of heart, we are indeed thank
iul.
We expect to go to b, g., again this
week, also next week, and probably
once or twice every week until after
the holidays and we hope, dear Georgia,
you will not fail to make notice of our
arrival and give full account of our
business transactions while at the hub
Observe carefully that we will call at
the Sentinel office, also at the Exchange
bank, upon the county officials, and at
the office of Hon. 8. L. james. We
may possibly be seen talking wish some
one upon the Browne church row, and
during our entire visit if you watch
closely you will discover that we will
be attending strictly to our OVID bust
ness which may seem 80 strange to
of Il tirst-page lrippie head write-up.
If so, let Us have it, but don t nUnlinate
us for any more offices unless YOU can
give us one that has d little money in it.
