The grandure and sublimity of John's “cheek” is wonderful. It is the Niag- ara of impudence, the Collossus of lies. A plea of honesty from a thief. A man who stole the electoral vote of Louisiana crying in the wilderness of political corruption “stop thief” Poor, superanuated, lone waver of the “bloody shirt” how our heart goes out to you in your desperate struggle for political lite. John has waved the “bloody shirt” for twenty years, and it has done yeoman service, but nothing of the garment has survived the Cleveland eyclone except the col- lar. He stands on the ruins of the Republican temple frantically shak- ing the collar while the tail and body have gone back to their original ele ments, When will Satan call John to his bosom ? day for newspaper Organs has gone by. Only a healthy, independent, fearless paper can thrive. The Amer- ican newspaper reader is as wide awake and as well posted as the fellow who runs the paper he reads, and he quickly detects any subserviency and servility in his paper, and outs off the “organ” from his list. Party papers have ceased to be “organs” from ne- cessity, and are compelled to expose rottenness and corruption in their own ranks in order to preserve the respect and patronage of their readers. The only “organ” which can succesfully run is the “hand organ,” and that concern only stops one day in each place. The man who undertakes to run an “organ” insults the intelligence of the reading public. Newspapers cun voice public sentiment, but can- not stifle it. The Star will “twinkle” #80 long as it consults the best interests of its readers, and the sooner and the farther it gets away from the “organ” business, the better it will be for it, | geo to Deputy Collectors Mr. Staple’s deputy Hectors don’t gize up to the Democratic ideal at all, aud the Intest appointee, who is a Republican, and a relative of Congressman Stdrm, has caused bile to flow in the county of Lycom d the Sun and Banner of Will speaks out ng, an “" J ’ : ig meetin in iRmsport The com nage, vigorous and forcible lang Valley Spirit ¢ f an { i ipa petent man being forced on them by outside influence, and complaints The party ca appoint incompetent nd if Ms nfidence of T1174 ing fa- Staples the affairs of intator t} HUIS (an —— A — Only a SBuggest!
