"a FEW ITEsS."
We are rejoiced .hat the Herald devot-
ed so much space last week TO answer
ing Journal articles. Ii is the opening
of !: new era. II is the era in which
"high-toned journals" like the Herald,
begin to notice .fshytering edi,ors and
Others" We will now '.sum up.
II the Herald desires 10 be considered
of so little importance as to have never
urged the nomination of any person, we
are satisfied to let its editor answer his
own silly qsery.
Ii ,sceditor of that paper supports
the Republican party as poiilies! orga-
hizs,ion asd the grangers Us soeial
aud business organization," why does
he not JOIN Republican editors politically
in their crusade against men like York,
Potter and others, who in the nameof the
grange, are attempting to destroy the
Republican party? 1to Heroid does
not seem to be well-pleased with the
JOURNAL s. editorials in behalf Of the Re-
publican party.
The "brothcr-in.law allusion," this
editor thinks is in lad taste. We do
no. blame the Htrald man for being =
broiher-in-law. He can't help it. We
are very sorry that our "delicacy and
propriety" is not snch as the Herald
likes But men are not all alike, and
hence the Herald man aud the Journal
man are qGitc dissimilar. IL was great
pity that they are different: yet that
cannot now be rcmcdied. However,
oar "deIicacy and propriety" impel US
10 say ih.t Il broihor-ii.- ,:iv is not quite
as likely to be impartial us some others,
and the fact OF mans bro,hcr-in-law
being in Congress should not exemp;
either from criticism.
We are happy 10 know that the Chow

our .sbest koI,." ".nsinua;.on is a de-
!ighlfui art, and we are pleased 10 re
ccive so high a compliment from 80 de
lishtful Il source. ain reply, we vii.
simply say what we haze said before,
and VIVA; ercryoae-inciuding the c,.it''r
of the Eeraii-ilnows TO be ,rue,' a!..!
that IS: That that Editor bolisd the Re
publican conventions held IN this county
in the falls Of 1867 and 1865. lie a.so
voted for Democrat FIR sheriff las,
fall. lie. quite likely, has'voted for 9th
err Democrats. 1t is better for editors to
keep their records entirely clean on their
own part, before they attempt to criti-
else others about boiling, Democrats,
&c.
The Herald man would make il ap-
pear that the Journal is deadly enc
my of the grange. With all his bold
and presunptnoas claims, the Journal
was the first paper Of this city 10 eX-
press sympathy with the farmers IN
their movement to :mclioraic their con
lition, and has always been known rs
their friend. 1t was the first paper Ia
expose 10 them the corruption of GER
tain Saline county officials. Il was the
first to expose a slarins railroad irar1,.
and frauds of every nature. Ii has al
ways advocated the farmers best inter
ests. II will always be their friend.
II lavors, and always has ftvo-ed, the
grange movement SO long as II has been
confined TO making the farmers conJi-
ton better, in Il .'social and Business
way, but wili be opposed TO 1t when i, be-
comes simply a political organization,
destined only TO break up the ReIabli-
ran party. Whether the editor OF the
Herald has ever been a candidate for Of
fec or not, is question already settled
BIZ his fellow citizens. Perhaps his
''de!icaey and proprie;y' will no. allow
him TO unbosom the facts.
