". I. Croasdr'e, Editor Every Erea
,nq-SlR: IL Is with sincere regret W.
notice that even the pheasant rela-
tons which have existed between us
were not sufficient to prevent you from
wiliully Illustrating the cause of the
WITHDRAW al of our advertisements from
the columns of the paper you edit, As
We believe we are competent to speak
for ourselves when occasion offers, we
now ask the privilege of stating our
own case, requesting you to resign the
self assumed position of our attorney
and Judge. 1t is not that the EVERY
EVENING is too Democratic" but that
you, its editor, have deserted every
principle Justified INTO your mind from
childhood, and as the writer said to
you personally some time since, we do
not believe your conscience Gf you
have any, endorses that which you
publish, and that you had disposed
of your birthright for miserable mess
of pottage." That you take pleasure
in assaulting friends who in the past
have stood ready to aid and succor you;
that you are as bitter in your detama
ton of Republicans to day as you were
of Democrats few years SINCE that
we have no respect for auy man who
advocates certain principles for years,
as you have done, voting for Grant as
you did when he was candidate
against Horace Greeley, because you ar
gued that it was not safe to trust the
Democrats with power from that ex-
treDe radical position, you changed to
so called independent; :" from that
to as bitter partisan on the mocrat-
ic side, adhering to the cloak of "Inde
pendent as a skulking place, from
which to fling your vtUom upon your
former friends :; that you seek political
afiliation with thost you have devoted
your life to drnouncing, as you now do
those who entertain the same views We
1s. We propose to distribute our pat
lOnage among the papers Of this city in
such manner as. We determine may
prove most advantageous to US that
We have no feeling against consistent
Democrats is proven by the fact that
We employ as many Democrats as Re
publicans, and assign them to positions
OF the highest trusts that We have at
our command: that our most intimate
personal friends are Democrats, conss
tent ones, and Democrats from couvc
ton We entertain for them and for all
siacere men Of that school the highest
r,rprct. AT the SAM time We will in
no way cUuntpIance or al. such apps
tates as you have proven yourself, par
ticularly when the cause of their apos
tacy is as silly and inconsistent and in
sincere as We heleve yours to be. We
have searched IN vain for several months
for some evidence Of fairness in your
paper towards those with whom YOU
NAV 81 Dose to differ, som" compliment
AIRY remark tor those with whom for so
many years you lsbored. We have
found none. The fair minded Demo
Gratis and Republicans can Judge be-
ween us, we are both well known. our
personal, business, aud political record
ID open W al u G"di. we lHNlte com
parison of them. Our business is our
own and as you graciously, but truly,
remark I'VE have the right" and pro
pose to conduct it in our own wav, and
We beg of you, mighty counsellor not
to intoXicate yourself with the halIu-
cination that our sleep will be disturbed
by the phaptoms of departing Demo,
cratic or Republican customers. So
long as we give strict attention to our
business, sell coal from mines Of the
highest standard only. offer facilities
for transportation equal to our cOmpet;.
tors, we are quite confident our patrons
will increase year by year in the future
as t'scy have i'll the past. We think
your attempt to play the roie Of Demo
cratic martyr, oh thou immaculate,
will not be appreciated by the Demo
CRATE party any more than your at
tempt to convince the people OF Viii
min-t0n that we are huldoz-rs. In
the tutur we shall pay no attention to
any remarks you may attempt to force
npon Us or upon this community.
Very truly,
CHARLES WARNER 4 Co.
