The originators and managers of the forthcoming celebration of the fourth ot July at Butler haye been exceedingly fortunate in arraying against them and their enterprise the Democrat and the ever taithtul band of imitators who follow without question and with a blind devotion its compass as their mundane guide and oracle in all things whatsoever. We say it is fortunate for the cele- bration enterprise, because everyhing of a public nature, political or other- wise, which that self-important insti- tution and peculiar sect—it we may use the term—has espoused of late, has collapsed, has been knocked into De ‘The hostility from that quarter to the celebration enterprise trom tbe very commencement is so thoroughly understood by everyone that a full explanation would only be a repe- tition and is unnecessary ; but a bnief retrospective observation or treat- ment of the malady, with some ad- ditional facts bearing quite forcibly upon the business, we declare in or- der and will be interesting reading by our thousands of readers just at this time. We now proceed with our bit of history, our retrospective view: The veader will remember the editorial squib which appeared in the daily Democrat ot last Tuesday morning, stating that the editor of that paper was a member of the committee on speakers for the celebration and that 2 majority of the committee had nothing to do with the bringing ot Col. Crisp to Butler to deliyer the oration, intimating very directly that the editor of the Tims had acted prematurely and without authority in inviting that orator of national re- noun. In the same thought the reader will also remember the Times’ comments upon that editorial squib, m which was shown conclusively and without possibility of successful contradiction that the editor of the Democrat had been ted a large amount of ‘‘taffy,’’ that he “was not only zo a member of the committee on speakers, but also that he was zo | a member of any committee. The Times brought forth the other very potent and uncontradicted tact tha Col. Crisp was invited here by the approbation of tour members of the committee of five on speakers. But, however, the point is yet to i be reached. Ere the print of the | Demecrat’s issue containing the | editorial squib m question had time to dry, a copy was taken and marked, yes, thribly marked, with a blue pencil, and still more, for tear that the eye—though piercing and dis- cerning as it 1s known to be—that it was intended should peruse the pa- | | any opposition to your expressed de- ta called “The Daily Democrat’’ | DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION. containing a marked editorial which I have taken and enclosed to you. I had not dreamed that there was sire that I should address you on “the tourth.’? On the contrary I} was assured by you, or at least [| drew the inference from yonr letter, that it was the unanimous desire | that I should accept your invitation. | Now, my dear sir: Iam sure you | will appreciate my feelmgs in the | face of such a criticism and editorial, | and allow me to most respectfully | | decline to be with you. Iam also | certain that you will not only ap- | prove my doing so, but justify my | conclusions in every sense. There- fore you will please say to my | friends who have been so kind as to \ unite with you in your very flatter- ing invitation that I will not be with you and if neccessary please state the \cause. Returning you my sincere thanks for vour highly ‘appreciated and especially flattering invitation and the sincere hope that you may have a glorious ‘‘4th,’’—that you may more than please your guests and yourselves, and that of Butler’s prosperity and happiness. be assured, Iam as ever, your friend, Joun. T. Crisp. Receiving the above letter Thurs- day noon, the committee was at once informed ot the contents and determined action was the immedi- ate result, realizing as they have from the first the importance of Col. Cnisp’s presence at our. celebration. The majority of the committee, which understand is composed’ of tour out ot five, decided to dispatch a special messenger, laden with a letter and other credentials from the committee and citizens alike, to see Col. Crisp in person. C. T. Me- Farland was charged with this mis- sion. We went Thursday, and-saw the “Romeo of the Jungles’’ at his ,rural residence in the suberbs of the intellectual and historic city of In- dependence, Jackson county. Our “visit was anticipated, and we were not long telling our story. The re- sult, people of Butler and Bates county, is briefly this: Col. Crisp, the man whom the Democrat hates with a hatred which partakes only of personal malice, whose downfall it would rejoice as loud and as readi:y as it would over a similar fate of the Times, wéd7 de- diver the oration at Butler on Fuly Fourth 1882 as sure as that histo- | ric event arrives, Providence’s power only considered as capable of intervening. Business men ot Butler, this is the plain, simple story of your enemy’s work embellished by no metaphorical terms of our own, but such only as the circumstances of the case throw around and about it. Such treat- | ment atter you have patronized and sustained him for fifteen years can be rewarded in noother way than re- garded as an alien to your interests and the prosperity and progress of the city of Butler. * over PASS THEM AROUND.
