The Dallas daily herald. [volume] (Dallas, Tex.) 1873-1887, 1874-07-21

:
The HBRALD, aud by our imperief-
tions make still more marked the OK
cellcncIcs of his style. The readers
ofTHE HERALD, we are aware, have
already missed the sklliul hand OF
Major Brown In the handling Of many
subjects OF interest that have been
treated OF IN its columns, aud we are
painfully conscious Of tho fact that they
viii look In vain In The HERALD
for that full and accurate information
concerning everything relating 10
Texas and It's interests that has under
the management ofMajor Brown, made
Il the recognized standard authority
IN the state. II gives us pleasure, how
ewes, TO state that Major Brown viii
frequently employ his leisure hours IN
corresponding for THE HERALD, and
that In this way It's readers will not be
altogether deprived OF the vast stores
Of knowledge which his busy and
eventful ifc has enabled him TO gather
up.
What Major Brown thinks Of the
statement of the Courier, In regard to
Governor Throckmorton's democracy,
appears In the following extract from
communication In The HERALD Of
Thursday last, which we are violating
no confidence IN saying was from the
pen OF that noble old democrat
see by your paper that the sherman
Courier asserts that Governor Throclt-
morton was never democrat until
1860, five years ago.
While committed TO another In the
approaching nomination, for reasons
with which the public have no cen
Germ, | should he recreant TO the COM
mOnest sense of honor to remain ST.
lent at such nm outrage on truth.
The statement of the Courier, that
Major John Henry Brown was eds
missed from duty on The HERALD,
il gross and malicious libel upon both
Major Brown and the prnprietors of
this paper. IL Is well known to the
people of Dallas, and could have been
known to the editor Of the Courier If
he had felt any interest In reference to
the truthfulness of his statements, that
Major Brown accepted the position Of
temporary editor Of THE HERALD, last
fall, MS n Kind accommodation to the
proprlctors Of the paper that he was
closely occupied by other duties; that
the burden was very heavy one upon
him, and that he had for long time
been anxious to be relieved by some
other arrangement being made,
The statement that Mr.. Simmons
was In any sense "the printer of the
Texas,and Pacific road ut Shreveport"
other than that he did whatever work
II gave him, and made the road pay
for II Just rs he did his other custom
crs, IL rs destitute OF truth us the state
ment previously disposed OF. Going
through the whole HERALD establish
ment, the Courier next says that we
have INDUCED in "cowardly intima-
tons" against Judge Hare. Our only
reply TO this Is that II Is deliberately
false. Respect for the propriety due to
the readers f'rHE HERALD alone pre-
vents us from characteri2ing il more
harshly.
In conclusion, the Courier says that
the ease of AUSTIN vs.. Talk Is ''the most
complete vindication of Judge Hare
that could possibly be made" If the
editor believes this to be true, isn't it
strange that he didn't publish the case
in full? 1t would have occupied hut
very little more than u column of his
paper. We published it in Sunday
mornings HERALD. Really, this will
always remain one Of the things, rs
Lord Dundreary would say, "that no
fellow can understand" that the
Courier should have such complete
vindication of its favorite in its hands
and should prefer not to publish it.
We would apologize to the readers of
THE HERALD for occupying SO lauch
of our space with this one subject, did
we not rely upon their good sense to
see that we were assailed, and were in
duty bound to defend ourselves.
