The Orangeburg news. [volume] (Orangeburg, S.C.) 1867-1875, 1874-08-22
Question and Answer.
From the Orangcburg Nzws, Radical.

the father of the Governor wrote tho first
editorial, did he not return to Columbia for
documents and then go back to Charlcst on
and finish up the work for his son? What
will the Ncms and Courier get this time :?
$4,000?
We answer, that Chief Justice Moses did
not write the articles which recently up I.
Pcarcd in the Ncws and Courier against
Chamberlain, who is the candidate of the
Orangcburg News for Governor of South
Carolina, for which high Office he is cmi-
ncntly qualified, by reason of his long con
ncction with the frauds of the Financial |
Board and Of the Laud and Sinking Fund
Commissions. Aud, TO make the answer
complete, we say further That the articles in
question were written by the editor of the
Ncrs and Courier; that no person, outside of
our office, knew that they would be written,
or gave any assistance in writing them, or
furnished any material for them and that
the only information that was had is con.
tanned in the published reports of var Gus
Radical officials and committees, and came,
i'll no instance, from Con scrvativc source
But if any Radical or Conservative has any
facts about Chamberlain which will supple
mcnt those we have laid before the public,
we shall be very glad TO have them Lastly,
what the Ncmc and Courier gets for the
articles on Chamberlain is-thc thanks and
appreciation of the honest people of the
State.
Is the Orangcburg NEWS satisfied ?-Ne,cs
and Courier
No VIC are not satisfied. The Nc,rs amt
Courier must answer us one more question
first Will its editors tell us whether or
not the Chief Justice was closctcd with
them, for two hou"s and half, inst the
day before the first article against Mr..
Chamberlain was published? Come, now.
nc want the VIII ole truth about The matter.
or course it makes Eut little difference to
us whether Judge Moses writes for the
Aews and Courier CT its editors. But for
little curiosity in this matter, we should
not have said word Oar Broad Street
contemporary calls itself the representa-
tive organ Of the Conservatives, and we
desire to know whether they apr rove ofits
wholesale selling out. II is good ncrs
paper, we admit, but utterly destitute of
character. 1t turns whenever and whcr-
ever there is any money to be made. That
it is the paid organ of Moses, and bound to
support him, VIC honestly and sincerely bca
.licve. No newspaper would go to work and
print off thousands of the speeches of its
political opponent, and send one to each of
its subscribers, without price and without
money. And, too, n speech like that of the
"Robbcr Governor" 1t is lame excuse
for his sins, replcte with lies from begin
ming to end, and yet the '.grcat rcprcscnta-
tive organ" would have the Conservatives
to swallow il down as a complete yindication
OF as mean n man rs ever .'scuttlcd ship or
cut n throat" To hell with such shameful
ny i'ocricy, we say. Show your hand,
Mcssrs. Editors, and Let the people know at
once that you arc wolf in sleeps cloth
ing. You cannot take an extract from any
paper condcmnatory Of Moses, and print il,
without showing your clovcn foot in a com.
mcnt to the effect that Chamberlain is no
better than the Governor. Is il this that
you arc paid to do! Did Moses ell yon
that he would be satisfied if you raised him
to level with Chamberlain II this is the
consideration you arc 10 render for value
received. let us warn you Of the utter use.
lcssncss of your task. You can't accomp-
lish 1t. All the newspapers in the world
that ''don't care damn for principle"
could not raise Moses 10 the proud and
honest position which Mr.. Chamberlain
holds i'll the eyes Of the American pcoplc,
nor bring the latter down to the low and
filthy s.ool Of slime and corruption
occupied by Moses. Ono is Moses and the
other is Chambcrlain Can the Nems aad
Courier distinguish the difference between
Il moving mass of rottcnness and n stately
and dignifcd parsonage Of intelligence and
honor! There are many Of The opposite
party WHO have dallicd with corruption in
some shape or other, but the Nems and
Courier, the representative organ of the
Conservatives, has claspcd her naked form
