The Worthington advance. [volume] (Worthington, Minn.) 1874-1908, 1876-12-14

the TeS&AC IL IVO sets Oh eloctOfS IRON
Oregon. Each of these sets of electors
will transmit their vote TO Washington,
and the question will lie which to count
and who shall decide which to count?
Elsewhere we publish an article from
the Mankato Review OH the newspaper
''muncus'' in Worthington. We are
surprised that an editor who is gene
rally 50 fair and so we'll posted us our
friend Wise, should make the blunler
which lie does. How could the Worth
ington Ring, or the rowdyisn. Of some
OF our people, or the throwing of Pro-
lessor 1l,miston's furniture into the
street, or the fight which grew out of
it, DO ''incident to a war between the
local Raa,ers.'' We have merely pub
lisl,oG the facts, with such comments
rs they deserve. The Journal has re-
fused to publish the facts and made
war upon us for doing so. Now, we
ask the editor Of the Review, as news
prper man, have We not done right and
done just what he does?
As to the newspaper war, shat is the
result Of IN effort to supplant the AD-
VANCE by paper called the Journal,
started in the interest of the Worthing-
ton Ring, rs nearly every Democrat and
nine-tenths Of the Republicans will tell
the editor Of the Review.
THE SOUTHERN MINNESOTA.
The Austin Register says is is ru-
mored that this road has been purchased
by the Chicago, Milwaukee and Saint
Paul. The Jackson Republic says that
ut is informed also that bills have been
prepared for granting extension of time
ITO the Southern Minnesota and that
they have been placed in the hands of
.our delegation at Washington. This
lis not just the extension the people
want. What they want is:s.n extension
of the road. Tie counties along the
dine of the proposed extension came up
to the work promptly last spring of
voting the bonus asked, and have been
to heavy expense already, AMI they
do not feel like conserving to any ex-
tension hut al extension of the road.
HOIST BY HIS OWN PETARD.
Last week we turned Ill item Oh the
.1iankato Review so beautifully that we
made him mad, and now lie goes for US.
Noh1 S,.,.s t.,fo 1,nn I,o
argumcntune o7 hon.inene, we believe it is
.called, that is, turning his own argu-
ment upon him and beating him with
it. The Review took the ground that
all the difficulties which have arisen in
Worthington were due to the newspa-
per warfare. Then we showed how
they had fights, law suits, drunkenness,
saloons, illegal voting, ETC., in Mankato
and suggested to the editor of the Re-
view that they had better haye no pa
pers ut all w there than to have such a
state of affairs.
This made the editor mad and he
comes back upon us and says we are
''fouling our own nest, ," ''villifying and
traducing our neighbors," and ''raising
I'LL generally" We can only return
the compliment. We have seen in the
Review accounts of murders, drunken
ness, illegal voting, irregularity il.
Office, fights, slan.ers, ETC., all occur.
ring in and about Mankato. The edi-
tor Of the Review, therefore, Accord 6
TO his own argument, is ''fouling his
own nest, ''villifying and traducing lis
nejghbcrs," and ''raising hill gene
rally"
The reputation which these things
give Mamkato abroad is anything but
creditable. Better have no paper 1T all
than such state Of affairs.
But we are absolutely amazed that in
editor of the ability and experience Of
the Review editor should thunder into
such foolish position. We have an
gered him by turning his own point
upon him and showing how ridiculous
it is TO lay all the evil of il town to the
newspaper which publishes accounts of
what occurs. This absurdity Of put
ting tue cart before the horse. of max
ing effect the mother Of cause, is
worthy the editor Of the Journal, but is
wholly unworthy Of and unlike the
editor of the Review. Now that lie is
hoist by his own petard, will he come
down and make the acknowledgement
l,andsOme.''
