Eprrog HERALD There is nothing easier
than fault-finding and abuse To fault or
abuse an individual, company, party or
leader and usages of a party, requires no ed
ucation, no brains, no intellect and no NOR
al culture.
Abusing thc leaders and lindin:: aault with
the iime-honorea usages Of the grand old
Republican party has been the business Of
the editor OF the Mcyersdale Commercial for
the last year or more; but then yoa know il
is such simple task and requires no cul-
ture or thought; and this think is why the
editor Lou delights in howling aad kick
ing at the leaders and principles of our good
old party. am pretty sure that no true
Republican in the county, at least none
that have talked with, and have talked
with good many, but that condemns the
course of the Commercial in the strongest
terms ; and all are ready to say that the
Commercial is Il sinking nuisance, and that
Lou had much better devote his columns to
the "Greenyillc schooi-house burners,
"The Knights of Labor ETC., and let pol
itics, the Republican party aud its princi-
pies, and the good old pioneers who possess
such ample ability to lead the party to vie
tory, alone. If, however, he will st.l per
sist in his treacherous course, | am afraid
the Republican party will soon leave him
and all those who side with him, alone no
difference how high he or they used to stand
in the party their present course, rs well as
that of all the 'llicbers' and "bolters, is to
be condemned in the most emphatic terms
they viii all see it, but probably not until it
is too late. Gentlemen, when ! say You
will regret your present course, i know
whereof affirm, because ! have had a lit
tie experience in that line. / thought was
right and saw the mistake only when il was
too late; but experience is a good school
and in such course it is very dear one.
Editor Smith calls the editor of the HEa-
AID hypocrite for pointing out some OF
the mistakes of the .bolters' and 'kickers;
with equal consistency can he call the Re
deemer Of the worlda hypocrite for pointing |
out the mistakes Of the Pharisees and Sad |
ucees and condemning their course. Every |
true member of the party knows that the !
course of the 'sbolters9 and "kickers and |
Republicans must prove det-
rimental to the party, if persisted in and,
If the editor who has been conducting the
Republican organ of the county for twenty
Or more years, when he secs such enemies
creeping into the camp to set up their de
,tructive creeds; say, if the editor would
not rise with all his might and condemn
he course, in the strongest language, he in
Iced would be derelict in the responsible Po-
tticn he holds, and in the duty he owes 10
lis party. | think it is one of the editors
luties. when he sees that a few would-bc
eaders are opposing the principles and US
lges of the party, like the "bolteTs' and |
'kickers" are doing everywhere, 70 cry
loud and spare not" lie must whet his
word and cut right and left until'eyery en-
my is subdued, and he can always rest as
ured that ninc-tenths of the Republicans
n this county will stand up 10 him and
lelp to fight the battle successfully and de-
.isively. REPUBLICAN.
