The st. Vincent Herald of the 9Th inst.
closes an article replying to an unfair and
unwarranted attack on that paper by the
Pioneer Press, in the following language
We want TO see man in office who canro:
be bulhed into paying tribute to the Pioaee,
FfesS by Its vItuperatIve and blackmaiiing at
tacks. And If we can succeed in attaining such
desirable results we shall feel abundantIy repaid
for the trifie we have contributed to its accom-
plishment''
Now 1t is openly charged, and believed
by all who are familiar with the peculiar
methods of the Pioneer Press, that Mr..
klndred's refusal to substitute that paper
is the reason, and the only reason that
moves the editor to SANDER and villify Mr..
Kindred. The charge in plain words, as
it is told to US, is thus: Mr.. Driscoll, the
manager, asked Mr.. Kindred to send TO-
600 copies of the weekly Pioneer
Press to voters in the Fifth district during
the campaign. This was asked during the
time when the paper was decidedly favor
able to the Kindred side of the fight. Mr..
Kindred refused to comply with the re-
quest, upon which the Pioneer Press
opened its batteries upon him. and have
continued ever sinceto SANDER and mis-
represent him. Now every old citizen of
Minnesota knows or pretends to know,
that the Pioneer Press, in all controversies
of any Importance, will be found on the
side of the party which responds to their
request either for official or business pat
ronage. This being the case, it is a won
der to US that so many of the papers of the
state, In the district and out Of it. should
quote the Pioneer Press as authority on
any question where there is a chance of a
stake being made.
Personally we do not pretend to know
that the course Of the Pioneer Press in this
campaign has been as charged. but we do
know that during the whole time. when as
is now alleged, Mr.. Kindred was doing I'M
fair work, before the Detroit convention,
that paper was favorable to his candidacy
We further know that Mr.. Kindred's his
tory and his suits with the Northern Pacific
railroad were as well and fully known to
the editor and manager of the Pioneer
Press as they are now. Then they saw no
reason for opposing him, but on the con
trary, supported him. Why this change ?
1t IS not charged that Mr.. Kindred has
done anything since the Detroit convention
that is to his discredit OF dishonor If he
has done anything dishonorable, it was
done before the Detroit convention. Then
there must be a motive for trying to de-
base what before they exalted, of trying to
pull down what before they tried to build
up. And what is the motive? 1t looks
very much as if the refusal to pay tribute
to the Pioneer Press was the sole cause of
the opposition of that paper. If so, then
what weight should its attacks have with
the voters of this district, with whose af-
fairs that paper has no business? We ad-
wise all who have been prejudiced by the
articles of the Pioneer Press. to look at the
matter IN common sense light, and ask
themselves why Mr.. Kindred would have
been a better man for member of con-
gress from the Fifth district OF Minnesota.
If ne had paid for 10000 copies of the
Pioneer Press for three months.
