Bitter Attack by United

MILWAUKEE, May 85.—C01. Jerome
A Watrous, paymaster of the United
iStatea army, retired, criticises past
Commander-in-Chltf James Darling as
a "blab-mouth" for his fiery protest
against the installation of a statute

Col. Watroui 1 statement, in part,
follows:
"Darlitiß's latest advance on the dead
enemy and his dead flap, uniform and
confederacy, recalls Senator James
Gordon's recent remark about a class
in the south that is still carrying on
the war of the rebellion. The old sen
ator, himself a gallant confederate
soldier, called the rampant fighting
.lass that hops in the limelight on the
slightest 'vocation, 'blab-mouths,'
adding that they had only a small part
in the war and have little Influence.
"Darling's fresh outbreak Us proof
that we have at least one of Senator
Gordon's class of 'blah-mouths' at the
north. Darling's style of patriotism
is the veriest sham."
