A WRATHY SYNDICATE.

Both the military editor and the alleged soiled dove editor of the syndiate organ down the street seem terribly wrought up over the mild calling The Democrat gave them for attempting to make a little political oapltal out of the attorney-gener-al’s ruling in the Tom McCoy case. Of course this sweet-scented combination would never have told their readers that the attorney-general was a republican, and If the from Laporte which appears elsewhere is correct he Is made by law the prison warden’s legal advisor, presuming on the ignorance of these same readers —who they have been playing for a lot of fools and blockheads—from knowing the facts. For genuine scurviness and lowdown, mean and contemptible methods this bunch certainly takes the bun. We are not surprised that Dr. Washburn wants to shake such an outfit as that.
