ing:

MEXICO, Mo-, August I'D propos
of the editorial in yesterdays Intel
Eigencer entitled, cover : Croppedn
Statesmen: Once two boys had a diff
ficulty in which Jimmy, the son OF a
noted liar of the village, got the worst
of it, whereupon Jimmy, retreating
like a whipped puppy, shifting and
s~tancaing his sorrowfui nose with his
cuff, whined, "I'll get even with ye."
The other boy retorted, "What can
you do?" "IIl make my father tell a
lie On ye." So the Chairman of the
State Fusion Committee, descending
from the plane of argument to person
aiity and getting the worst of it, has
his personal organ, the Intelligencer,
tell a lie on his opponent.
Incapable as he is of approaching a
purely disinterested act of patriotism
and adherence to principle, he attrib-
utes to every person not agreeing
with him in his purposes to effect per-
sonai ends, the same corrupt motives
controlling himself. But in this he is
not to be blamed; he is just as God IN
tended he should be, and being wholly
incapable of an act free from a self
serving purpose, he is willing to be-
smireh every person not subservient
to his purposes. He never drew 9
breath of conspicuous service in the
party he seeks to serve when moi
drawing a salary raised from contri'
buttons levied upon his fellow mem
bers, while a great part of this time hs
was handling such funds without being
required to state an account OF dis
bursements. Being in a situation tt
demand and enforce favors OF the rail
roads and make it worse for them j
refused, he now threatens to ASSUME
dietation even to the selection of thei
"rural" employees"
What corporate meat besides fire.
passes doth this great Caesar eat tina
he hath grown 30 fat when the countr,
is SO badly in need of repairs from tn

When he is able to prove-even den,
that he was not enjoying free passe
at the time his club adopted the reso
lutions condemning as corrupt an,

} then be in q more favorable positio
! to question the political motives {
