He Has Had Enough.


on the boilers that he has had enough
of their tomfoolery. He doesn't call it
tomfoolery, but if it were anything
better, we may be sure that the editor
Of The Courier-J Journal would not come
out from among them, fetching 4 big
sigh of relief and smiling broad smile
OF satisfaction.
This last proclamation by Editor Wat
terson is called forth by a long ana
somewhat hazy letter from General ST.
mon Bolivar Pucllner now knoWn as
the Sage of Glen Lily" We don't know
when he became a sage but certainly
it was after the death OF General For
rest, who had some rather warm views
on that and kindred subjects. But no
matter. General Buclner, the sage OF
Glen Lily (and other things), remarks
in a column or more that the boilers
| who bOlted the democratic party, ara
then, to keep their hands in, bolted their
! own organization, should retain 4 com
pact organization, dcfying the democrats
/ on the one hand and opposing the re-
! pubicans on the other, until 1.-THE so3el
/ second thought of the people, and SO
forth and so on, world without end.
Mr.. Watterson prints the letter Of the
I Sage Of Glen Lily" and thercupon

in the course of which he makes these
remarks which we commend TO The So
