THE LAME HARPER.

Jones' chief organ grinder, in his
of this morning, grinds out
another three-quarter column of ed
laudatory, beslobbering Of
aided by 4 similar dose from
the San Francisco Republican. The
chief organ grinder winds up with a
dreadful fling at the Gold Hill NEWS
for copying what the San Francisco
had to say. Now, If the
e.. o. G. had done his duty In the
matter, he also would have copied the
Chronicles article Of last Saturday,
with proper comments upon 1t, as We
did. The first part Of the article NE
considered did Mr.. Jones injustice, In
the undertaking Of his natural abilities
and qualifications for the high office
coveted, but the balance Of the article,
coudemning the VIGOROUSLY scandalous
and disreputable manner in which tho
canvass has been, and still Is being,
conducted, we approved of, knowing
as does every good citizen-yes, even
the C. o. G.. himself-that every word
of it was true. and not the least SLAM
der or misrepresentation about 1t.
Had 1t been untrue, we should have
properly replied to 1t, and shown Its
falsity. But not one Of Jones' organs
could do this, and 1t stands not only
unrefuted, but confirmed oy open per-
sistence In the same disreputable
course. The enterprising c. 0. G.
takes special pains to charge all who
oppose Jones. and favored or do favor
Sharon, with having been purchased
by Sharon. His narrow-gauge ideas
will allow him to see only II side at
a time. therefore he does not realize
that the same argument will apply to
himself and all others who opposed
Sharon and favor Jones. The harplngs
OF the C. o. G.. are too lame and one
sided altogether. and the people under
stand the matter pretty we'll.
His editorial in this mornings En-
terprise is, like the one he copies from
the Republican, solely devoted to a
fierce defense of the abilities Of Mr..
Jones, which the Chronicle alone called
into question. and in doing 80 the {.
o. G. evidently considers the "intel-
ligent article " from the San Francisco
Republican as of essential assistance.
Now we wish to csll the attention Of
the public to one rather significant
fact. The Republican is openly and
VIGOROUSLY working in the interest o.
