Ladies! Ayei's Kair Vigor is a so

become an indispensable article for the
I'LATTSMOL'TII, Aug. 22, 18S3.
Kuitou IIf.uald: After reading
lor tho pant three months the malicious
editorials that arc to be found daily in
the columns of the Journal, "patience
ha ceased to be a virtue;" the vials of
indignation so long corked must at last
utib..ttle, a part at least, of their con
tents. Siuce wouder and iudignatiou
was fust aroused by au ignorant fetate
ment found in one of its earlier issues
to the effect that "Fitz John Porter has
at last had justice done him, as Con
gress has just pordoned him notwith
standing the president's veto." This has
daily increased with each new edition,
uutil we are forced to the conclusion
that its editor is either a very narrow
minded. Ignorant species of mankind,
or wilfully malicious, misleading, id
fuct untruthful.
The climax was reached the other
night in reading the Journal's article
headed "The Wilcox Speech." He
commences by speakirg of Mr. Wilcox
a3 the "Mendota carpenter," thereby
insinuating that a "carpenter" is not
sufficiently intelligent, high-toned
enough, for some such reason, should
not bo "launched, at the defeucelesa
deuizoas ot Plattsmouth."
Now, Mr. Editor, we submit to you,
is not a first-class carpenter as intelli
gent, of as good social standing, as a
onc-horsc editor of a two-by-nine pa
per? Ha further speaks of the gentle
man's ad4res3 as a 'harangue." Uav
iug listened to such political orators as
James G. Blaine, Carl Schurz, Iloscoe
Coukling and a host of others we
might mention if necessary, and we
have no hesitancy in pronouncing Mr.
Wilcox a very earnest, matterTof-fact
speaker, and a3 such commanded and
luhl the attention of liia large audi
ence Irom the moment he made bis first
utterance. And this fact of bis hold
ing the attention Of bis hearer- Was
tho most positive proof of his qualifi
cations as a speaker. Perhaps we are
not sufficiently familiar with the signi
fication of the word "harangue," to
judge whether the bold, confident ut
terances to which we listened should
bo classed as such or not, therefore we
would humbly request a plear explica
tion $f the word, if the editor of the
Journal will be so kind. How sad it is
that no opportunity can he- given this
brilliant wielcjer oi a mighty pen to
personally exhibit to the poor, benight
ed "demons of Plattsmouth" his defi
nition of what constitutes a great
speech. Do you know this editor torci
bly reminds one of La Fontaine's Fa
ble, The Frog and the Ox." For fear
he may have forgotten the tragic end
of the frog we will relate it for his es
pecial waruingi "There was a frog
thut used to leave his accustomed mud
retreat every morning for the purpose
of sunning himself upon the bank
close by. One eventful moruiujr while
so doing his at tout ion wm attracted
by an. 05 feeding near, tjuoth the frog
UU'-u himself, what a line, large animal
that is. How I would like to be as
great. If I could only swell myself up
a little each day, perhaps J roifcht at
tain to the same jrojQition8. From
that he began oach day to draw himself
up and swell his sides, nntil at last one
sad morn he gave one gigantic endeavor
and in so doing burst!" We are muck
alarmed for our poor Journal man,
who, unless he keeps more in his "ac
customed retreat," and stops gazing
with envious eye at the magnificent
proportions of the Republican party,
may find himself at some future time
in the same condition as the little frog.
To again quote from last night's arti
cle he eays: "He informed ths editor
of this paper, with many an ominous
shake of the head, that hd proposed to
wave tug en?,gumed garment all he
liued, and whenever he wanted, and de
(iod. any investigation into his own pri
vate record." Our wonder was excited
at the fact of ho speaker's no omin
ously shaking the editorial head of the
Journal, which treatment he richly
merits because of the article, penned
by him a few evenings ago, derogatory
to Mr. Wilcox's character.
If the democrats of uasa county
would only be advUed, they would,
polit'cilly speaking, give this imperti
nent child of taeira, a good spaukmg
aud send him to btd lor the rem under
of the campaign.

when the start was made back for the

after giving him five minutes to pray
