Correspondence Of the Madisonian.

81 LOUIS, \Nlo'J July U, 1910
The Madlsonan of the 9th of June brings
the contradiction of the editor of the Globe, in
an extract from that paper, that the STANDARD OF
this city "hds mol the slightest connerion with
The Globe" and goes on to state that the editor
of the former has never had a line OF core
spondence with the editor of the latter! All
this may be, and still Blair & Rives be the real
founders and owners of the Standard.
But did not put forth my assertions on this
subject lightly; and, from this time forward, |
wish the Globe TO understand that whatever
may be stated y your ST. Louis correspondent
is based upon facts which cannot, and shall not,
be controverted | am not writing for mere po-
tical effect, as the editors of that print are in
the habit of doing, but to state facts in reference
TO the movements If men and parties herea-
bouts and if it brings home unwhoes some
truths to the Globe concern and the one-sided
mine.
Base and audacious as the Globe has become.
did not look for its denial of the charge that It's
proprietors were, in fact, the founders and own
ers Of the Missouri Standard, or | would have
followed up my assertions by the statements of
the Missouri Reporter, made some time after
my letter was written, and confirmatory ofwhat
| wrote you on that subject.
The Reporter told its readers in Missouri that
the Standard vas a branch of the Globe and
was brought into life by the owners OF that
print. The Standard very fatty denied the
charge, and with about the same complacency
with which the mother organ denies my state
ment Of the same fact
To this Colonel Penn replied as follows on
the 2sth of June
From the Missouri Reporter
An IssuE.-We stated on Thursday last that the
bill TO raise the money" to purchase the Standard
Enlistment, "was drawn by Lynde Elliott, on Blair
& Rives, payable three days after sight and was en-
dorsed by Montgomery Blair"
The Standard Of Saturday, alludng to the above
statement, said -" We might rctort upon Shad
Penn, Jr the epitbets used by him in with
Ourselves" &c.-then IL became morbidly modest,
and remarked
We do say, however, there Is no truth in the
statement made by Penn in relation TO this business
We have thus issue formed.
The statement made by us on Thursday is again
repeated. The bill was drawn by LyDde Elliott ON
Blair e. Rives, was endorsed by Montgomery Bla;r
and sold to the Bank Of the State of Missouri Will
Lynde Elliott call on the Exchange Committee of The
Bank, TO say whether assertion /. true mr. fIso,
Dare Montgomery Blair say he did not endorse The
bull as stated The GOODNESS with which the Stand
ard has contradiccd our statement on hi. .ub;ec,
very clearly demonstrates that its editor il harden
ed and consummate liar. He is pretty fellow truIv
to complain Of the Of ard e,ihs in reference u,
himself How, in the name Of common sense could
describe him inelligibly, if we estated TO pro
nounce HIM loo flung recresnt Wing, a worn out
serf Of Mic Bidde, the bitter foe and a,s.
ant Of Gen. Jackson, and one Of the most brazen-
faced liars in existencei We are well aware ina,
such language CRATES Ion the ear but word. less
pointed or harsh would fail 10 convey 10 the mind M
the reader correct view Of the dirty creature semi
hthcr, TO act as the nominal editor Of the Standard
branch Of the Globe establishment. There are occa
s'ons when u becomes absolutely necessary to call
a spade spade" and this is one Of them
Our object IN referring to the bill or draft drawn
by Elliott, on Blair Il Rives, and endorsed by Mont
gomcry Blair, was 10 show that the Standard wa.
owned by the Globe-that the concern was nut into
operation here by individuals who have drawn nearly
IL not quite million Of dollars from the Naton,i |
government, and ,rif riep 10 produce discussion IN

of the Democrats Of the nation as mona rcbist. in

Missouri. II Is really matter Of astonishment ib,,
he propretors Of the Globe should have sent such a
