Some of the papers have charged
Robert Haydn with having "swung
tie circle politically in accepting
the position of associate editor of an
Indianapolis, Ind, republican paper
At which Robert takes the floor to
remark:
Nv position as associate editor of the
Western Citizen, the only Irish Catholic
Republican paper published in the United
States, demands neither q sacrifice of
party sentiment nor truce to political duty.
! have nothing whatever to do with the
politics of the paper. My editorial duties
are confined to topics of a religious char
actcr.
Bob Haydn posing as a religious
editor" would make an ice
freezer smile.
THINGS are becoming little more set
tied than they were, a short time since.
