not exactly in juxtaposition with those
of tho colonel lie sooms to think that
oastorn democracy should bo handlod
with tho softost kind of kid gloves
paddod with eiderdown and that it
should bo allowed to think it is tho

tlio gushing soutunoutnlity of populism
which prompted it to clasp W J to its

for tho world to hoar Ho is mino I Ho

why oue Uuited States volunteer should

have his honor rudely questioned If
the Times Tribune will put on that

it will remember that the volunteers
were insulted almost beyond endurance
by the Tagais who reviled them as cow
ards aud otherwise did things that uo
self rospocting man or soldior could put

will also rnmomlwr that thoy wero linlit

a certain occasion a Nebraska I my did
tiro a shot and tho war was on Tho
