Still Suffering From Disappointment.

The editors of the Republican have been in a distressing state of mind since the 4th. It will be remembered that they were at first opposed to celebrating because they thought it better to wait until later and have a carnival—they do just dote on carnivals—and to placate them those having the celebration in charge got busy and contracted with a carnival tympany to come. They couldn’t get here because of the heartlessness of railroad officials who wanted to see the color of their money for freight charges in advance, it is reported, hence no carnival.

This was a severe blow to the Republican editors, and to add insult to injury the mayor and city marshal closed the one carnival show that did reach here. It is no wonder they are suffering from indigestion, is it?
