Our pious and respectable friend Hendershot . . .

. . . of the “Ottumwa Democratic Mercury,” devotes two columns of his valuable paper, more or less, to “Clark Dunham.”  Of course so grave and dignified a person would not make a blackguard of himself, or throw dirt – of course not.  We judge he feels better after easing his mind.  If he does not obtain entire relief we advise him to “bite himself mit a snake!”
