urer Gardoza implicated Let the
mdtteribe thoroughly siftod.
In the meantime We say to Moses,
"Be calm, bide thy time, thou shalt
havo lovely company some day.
Thou artno worse than thy radical
accasers who have made Of thee a
scapc goat"
The News and 'Courier replies to
our assertion that t'has been "bull.
lug" CaIdrzl and the londs, and
see ms to tako our article as q covert
insinuation against its principle.
The News aud 9 urier is tno sensi-
tive. We merely mentioned fact,
and stated that we differed from our
contemporary in its pressed opin-
ion. Wo did not .impcach its homes &.
ty.
The facts that in almost every issue
presented 10 the public sinoo the
calling of tho taxpayers convention
we 'havo takcn sides with ohe News
and Courier. But wo believed thIt
conservative newspaper would be
unwisc in vou,hing for the conduit
Of any radical official unless his acts
were patent to.all. The News and
Courier thought differently, and has
gotten into little difficulty. 1t
aseorted, we presume upon the au-
'thority of Treasurer Cardoza, who
was an interested party, that tho
funding of tho bonds was being sue
cessfully accomplished according to
law. This gave confidence to opera.
.to,s.
Now, a Legislative committee
olaius that frauds have been commit
ted and that illegal bonds have been
issued. Where ere the guarantees
of the News ard Courivr2 We do
not charge it with oomplioity in
frauds. Wem ,rely assert that through
i'll advised haste, it hus placed it
self in all awkward position.
Again. When tho rem oval Of
Cardoza vas proposed, the News and
Courier hastcly threw itself into the
breach and denounced the movement
as ON attaok by corrupt men upon
the governor. ltpronounced Cardo,
za's letter an almost complete refu'
tation of the charges Of the committee,
Then when tho committee reiterated
their charges, the News x Courier wa,
! compelled to rcccdc from it's forlorn
hope, ana now that the entire con
servative delegation are opposed tc
the treasurer, the News and Courier
will have to become q "bear." We
do not mean that the party lash m ust
! be obcyed. Conservatives have NJ
lash. But the conservative Legislators
arc cntitlo TO confidence, and thcyaIe
In possession of the facts, and the News
and Courier must yield to them.
Now, had our contemporary no,
been so kasty in "bulIins' Card.z,
aud the bonds, it would uot now be
embarrassed. We give it full oredi,
for lncerity, and merely remark tina,
it is a victim Of misplaced confidence
In conclusion, we will offer a little
friendly advice, which We hope will
be received in good part. In future
be cautious about "buIling" radicals
and radical measures, and mole cs
pecially don't bull Caldoza. We
"bulled" Cardcza once, but it was a
long time ago, aud VIC had not been
in tho Lcwspaper business more than
\ few months. We didn't bull him
long, We expected him to pay up
promptly FairGeld's quota for free
Schools lie did not do it. Hc
paid other Counties moro in propor.
ton, and he did other things wo did
not approve OF. So We ceased bull
ing him. And ii the News and
Courier take our advice it viii here.
