dor that We do not intend 10 he led of
from the main question by any howey'
er skiliully gotten up, lures. " II Tho
truth only which hurts, and that II OK
aelly what Dr. Calder doesn't want
published Just now, IN the validity ol
that $4,000 olalm Is before the courts,
aud bottom facts, ~ he said tho other
day, would hear heavily upon lin,
The citizens Of Dallas city aud county
oro more Interested IN the validity of
that 100000 claim than they are In lhe
lnrt that We wished 10 make both Dr.
Reid and Dr. Calder pay NJ least The
cost 10 aet up their matter which we
regarded then, IN now, only u struggle
between two men representing rival
claims upon the Dallas aud wichita
We have mld repeatedly that wa rcgwd
Dr. Roid'a claim ~ valid, because he
has put down money for u, In the way
Of road construction aud otherwise, and
Dr. Caldora M shadowy," II not ocIu-
ally fraudulent because no adequate
confederation was rendered on his part
40 lar m we have been able TO see,
When W. first began looking into tho
allaim Of tho Dallas aud Wichita,
we were u stranger IN the city,
and did no with u view 10 attack
ing the cause Of the existing delay In
ita construction, aud we were told
that since II passed out Of DR., Coldors
hands there had been nothing but deN
lay, but that during his administration
IL had gone on all right, Under that
impression, we are very free 10 admit
that we did think, aud perhaps say
for We generally do that--hc ought
TO be again Ut ~ head Look
ing u little deeper into matters we
found the exact reverse TO be true and
Immediately took decent occasion to
say no, and in decent terms DR..
Calder replied IN offensive and dragoon'
ing ways aud words which provoked
the personal illusions which have 40
deeply wounded him,
The editor OF u paper advocates or
opposes u measure only M IN his jndg~
mcnt IL Affects the good Of the public,
and he must determine when he has
gone far enough to servo that purpose
aud discharge his duty This we did
and gave both De- Reid and DR.. Calder
reasonable space, but ~ soon M thc
fight degeneNted into u personal con-
test wereflsed topublsh more. except ON
the terms that others could use our col-
umns for, iorsimiar purposes. We made
no distinction, DR.. &, complained, DR..
Il, did not SO much for that ewill
still publish DR.. Calders views aud his
side Of the case but only ny we then
proposed, NJ paid matter, and are not
anxious even to do that. The self
same rule obtained with the other mat
ter DR., Calder alluded 10, via the post,
office. We put the paper on record
M lavoring very strongly the
Windsor hotel az the place, A few gems
tlemcn interested in the uptown loca>
ton paid THE HERALD the compliment
to say that its influence was formidable
in the matter, and wished to know if it
would publish the other side. They
proposed to pay our advertising price,
and had they gone into it, we certainly
would have published the matter. The
business might have amounted to five
hundred dollars, we know not. No, we
did not offer to do anything; we sins
ply considered propositions of mere bus
siness, legitimate and fair, and have
never asked why the matter was aban-
loned, Tor the simple reason that we
lid not care.
The doctor unwisely makes il mat,
tor oil yeraeity between the editor Of
TIM llHRAlD and himself We accept it.
Colonel Pointer personally and point
edly' told us that the doctors assertion
that he Colonel PJinter) voted for him
self in the recent organization was u
id lie" DR.. Reid, over his own sig
nature, in recent number of this paper
says, in effect, the same thing. IL this not
sufficient on the score oiveracity? ques-
ton which never ought 10 be discussed in tie
ofumnS Of newspaper. However, while
we are on the question Of veracity, we
take occasion to say, that the insinua,
ton that Dr. Reid pays" u.s. is false in
fact, and malicious and mean in spirit,
and we defy DR., Calder to produce the
least scrap of proof from any source
whatever. I'M
In regard to thSAsrer to oppose Dr..
Reds getting the bonds, we have only
to say that nobody ever said word to
ua OH that subject except DR., c., and
We told him he would have to pay for
communications ON the subject, and
any other assertion is like the Others We
have referred to--false. With this We
ismias the doctor, until the petition in
the case now pending, is published,
when we will briefly refer to the subject
and the doctor again Had we charged
DR. Calder fair price for such matter
as he has already written Tor us on this
subject, we might be able to buy sever
