EDITORIAL.
;
Retorts
to
our
editorial
of
Monday,
|
19 h, appeared
in
the Tribune
and
Her-
ald
of
yesterday.
The
former
paper
|
woeuld
show
the
reason
why
we wrote,
|
and although
dovoting eonsiderable
space
|
to
his,
does
not
even
attempt
to
deny
|
tne truth
of
our
rema
ks
in
refutation
|
0 'he
statements
made
by
the
Herald
|
in i sissues
of the
12th
and
14th
to the
effc ct that there
is
a
general
spirit
ta-
|
voring
a change
of government.
it
ac
|
cuses
this paper
ol
lying
when
we said
|
that
the
committee
failed to araw
any-
|
one
to
go
and
lisien
to
them.,
As
re-
|
ported
by
members
of
the
committee
|
and
others,
of
some
500
eleciors
for
|
whom
the meatings
werce speciaily called,
oniy about
25
persons
were
present
ut
any time,
these
being
mostly
those
who
weee
oponly known
to
be
unfavorable
to
Sonate
Rul 2736
in
any
form,
ineluding
|
the police who
we
said
at
the
time had
no
business
there
and
incited
rage
by
|
their
presenee,
and
some
pon-voters,
|
The Herald does
not contradiet
us either,
but
eclaims
it
exnected
what
we
said.,
Now while
we make
no
seer2t
of it that
this
papar
is
not
bicking
the
Tribune
|
and
the
Hervald and
therr party
in the
es-
|
torts for a change
of government,
neith-
|
er have
we tried
to argue about
the
mer-
|
its of what they are
doing.
Our
editorial
|
of Monday,
19 h, had
for
its object
the
|
denial of cond:itions
on
rthe question
as
|
portrayed
by our contemporary.
We
do
not believe that
we
were
unfair to
any-
body
in
that.
As
regards
any
offense
|
taken
by
memters
of
the
committee
|
referred
to,
we have
to say
that
we
had
|
no thought
of
minimizing
the value
of
|
these
gentlemien
iu the
community
but
|
only to promulzate that
they did not
re-
'
ceive the
support
of
the
ciectoraie
and
|
therefore
were not really deputed.
Lack
|
of support of these
gentlemen
indicated
|
that the feeling here
is not for
a change
of governnent,
and
this
we
miintgin.
