The Dallas daily herald. [volume] (Dallas, Tex.) 1873-1887, 1875-12-28
The new editor of the Dallas Herald,

The new editor of the Dallas Herald,
IA cultivated and thoughtful gentle
man, had occasion the other day to
draw upon his reserved resources Of
classical lore, and back comes the
Telegraph, with an immense reply,
covering nearly column. The Tele-
graph permits no other paper to trench
upon its territory, aud Oriental politics
and classical my thology constitute the
territory, and Simpson may CLEAN
therein, but as to his getting his scalp
safe back to Occident, why that's an
other matter quite Waco Examiner.
The HERALD has cndeavored with
all due journalistic courtesy TO reply to
the Tele9rdph in its structures upon the
new organic law. We have never
yet, and never viii, descend TO that
insulting personality in which that
paper saw tit to indulge itself in its
edition of the 22nd instant. The "un-
fortunate youth" to which this paper
alludes does not fee! that he has lost
anything OF self-respect in having fail
ed TO learn in his brief editorial eXpe-
rience the art Of unkindly, uncalled-for
and contemptuous criticism.
Pitts reply 20 Walpole were fitting
answer to the sneering charge of
youthfulness uttered by the 7ttcgrdph.
Ifdevotion to principle, knightly
courtesy to friend and foe, and high
purpose to subserve the interests of a
free people merits the insolent and
derisive pseudonym applied by the
telegraph, we must needs content
ourselves with this unseemly and I'M
provoked rebuke.

THE BANQUET,

Dallas has rarely witnessed such an
assemblage OF journalists, lawyers,
and printers, and genial
gentlemen in almost every profession
of life, as met ~ the banquet given by
Dr. q. A. Cutler proprietor OF the
Commercial, upon Christmas night.
The table displayed wealth OF fruit,
flowers aud dainty dishes, that we
have seldom seen rlvuled; indeed, II
was one of those sumptuous repasts
paralleled only by that prlncely BAN
quet set by 81. Louis for the great
Pacific Railway Convention.
The wine was excellent and the
toasts eminently appropriate. Judge
Thurmond, Mayor Cabell, Major
Brooks, Captain Conner, Colonel Nell
ish, Mr.. Ellis, as w5ll rs the genial
host himself, We're quite felicitous in
the happy and fitting sentiments eX-
pressed. Our own local reporter re-
presented The HERALD in this spark
ling interchange Of sentiment in his
usual happy and pleasant manner.
The band and its stirring music was
II most acceptable addition to the en-
tertainmcnt. We have seldom heard
better performers. We extend our
fluctuations to our cotemporary, and
beg to express our thanks for the very
pleasant courtesies extended US upon
that occasion.
