Editor Cheyenne Leader : It
is touching and amusing—more
amusing through, than touching—
to see how your morning contempo
rary pets the dear Doctor. I shall
not invesgigate whether it is a joke
driven too far, or whether the Argus
(in its capacity as the hundred eyed
monster) has been convinced of the
-Doctor’s greatness of his ‘‘eternal
rocks-like fixed principles.” Bethat
as U may—go on. little flatterer, that
you-are anyhow! Swjrtg your cen
sor before the ex-candidate’s hose—
he inhales the sweet ordors in 'good
faith and with delight. But let me
tell you, that not one Republican in
this town attaches the slightest im
portance to the political belief of the
Doctor, and it would be very poor
paying business, indeed, to make
political capital out of him. The
German Democrat lias done his
duty in laying open the wrong
committed by the Democratic
convention. If he desired to accom
plish something beyond the simple
establishing of truth, he certainly la
bored undur a mistake, for he ought
to know that Democrats in the ranks
as a general thing are too self-deny
ing, or rather too well disciplined,
ana in consequence used to receive
friendly kicks from their illustrious
leaders without murmurs. Now, I
would wish to impress the Argus
writer that boys whoso whiskers are
just beginning to sprout, compare
sometimes,intellectually,very favor
ably with their moustached great
journalists. Let me finally express
my humble opinion, that if our good
mother nature had endowed the doc
tor with considerable more brains,
than she actually has, and if by some
process the brains of the Argus writ
er were added, the so combined
brains could- not possibly spare a
grain’s quantity for any purpose.
German.
