The Lamoille news. (Hyde Park, Vt.) 1877-1881, 1877-04-25
HYDE PARK, APRIL IS, 1877.
WE PLUMPLY DENY.


Citizens of Lamoille county and
others, is it simply n matter of yerac-
ify between Mr.. Earle and ourself!
NO. Please notice below the individ-
uals We bring forward in support of
what we say. First, however, listen
To our dictum.
We pItmply deny that we had any
talk with Mr.. Earle or anybody else
about buying the Citizen until Mr..
Morse told us that Mr.. Earle had the.
refusal of the Ne,osdealer and our as
sertion does not stand on our own We
ycity but is supported by Mr.. Morse,
1m Mr.. Earle declares unimpeacha-
we plumply deny that Mr.. Morse
or any other man had a suspicion that
we thought of the newspaper business
until after the full Inauguration of Mr..
HAYES, and, therefore, all Mr.. Earle's
insinuations about last January fizzles.
Mr.. Earle asks why we did not
unite the papers, &c. Because we
could not come to within So, 900 of a
trade. We did talk with some bust
ness men of Hyde Park about the
union. We talked with one prominent
man who is at present one of our
heaviest supporters in this enterprise
on the same day we were at Mr..
Earle's office, and he assented to the
plan as far as he was concerned. We
did not make very much noise about
the matter because we were fearful
that the result would be just as it
proved, namely, that we should not be
able to trade.
Mr.. Earle says he did not know,
etc.
Indeed! why does he not get Mr..
Carlos Noyes to deny the assertion we
made last week, to. wit that he
(Noyes, administrator went to him,
(Earle) and told him how the people
felt and that since the heirs of the
estate had rather accept my offer he
(Earle) had better relinquish his claim
ON the NeDsdealer.
Mr. Earlereplied in substance, "No,
sir, l have got it, and propose to
squelch it. They havn't got spirit
enough at the Park to start newspa-
per. Those that would, can't, and
those that can, won't"
Mr.. Earle knew that the people of
Hyde Park would start paper if they
could. And after that fact was i'm
pressed upon him, he had an opportu-
nifty to rehnquish the Ne'cSdealer at no
loss to himself. We said in the open
ing of this article that it was not sim
ply a matter of veracity between Mr..
Earle and myself. We are supported
in the question of when we began to
talk with Mr.. Earle by Mr.. Morse.
We are supported in our assertion
about Mr.. Earle's having an opportun-
ity to back out Of his trade at no loss
to himself, by A. L. Noyes, Cashier
of the Lamoille Co. National Bank,
Waldo Brigham, President of the p.
& o. r. R., and we think, also, that
Mr.. Carlos Noyes will agree with the
assertion. This, of course, takes away
all Mr.. Earle's cry of trick, which he
has SO sldllfully employed to secure
sympathy. We are supported in GU,
assertion about not attempting to unite
the papers without the consent of the
leading men of Hyde Park by two o.
our present heaviest supporters, whose
names we are at liberty to publish ,anc
We apprehend that Mr.. Earle will fine
them fully as unimpeachable as ar,
those we have already named. w,
shall not contend for the last word
Mr.. Earle may have that, and, as tt
the advice given to us in our minister
ial capacity, while the advice may b.
good enough, we don't just like tn
IS source of it. We think it no detri
ment to an editor of local paper t.
be minister, q christian, or even
gentleman.
