The clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1883-1888, 1883-09-26

The following i the comment Of the
vickzburg Herald upon an article IN
the cLAnIos Of sept 18th
when we ventured modestly to sug-
gest that the CkARIox could be relied /
upon 70 Hlook sitter the pubic printing
and thus put few pennies into pockets
that have swallowed many thoaElpds q
dollars wrung from the taxpayers Of
Mississippi il oceurred u ps that re
we're commanding its business energy,
its sagaeity, and ifs thrift, rather than
mnnifesting petty spite" indulEing in
personal vituperstion and insinuation,"
OF doing something very c0BtsmPti-
bic"
II the holding Of the position Of Pub
lie Printer for eight consecutive years
under the rule Of Democracy, does not
establish the fact that the CLARION
does "lOok after the Public Printing
most carefully, perhaps the other fact
that this inhexible exponent Of true
Democracy divided the loot with the
jackson Pilot for two YEAR. when the
Pilst did all the work, Sgd the CLARIoS,
without performing any labor. OF invest
ing dollar Of capital, took it, share Of
the profits like a little man." will be
accepted a satisfactory evidence of
what we suggested, that "the CLARION
never fails 70 look after the Public
: Printing, even when the Radicals are in
J power"
The fact that TIE CLARIox has en-.
jOycd the position Of Public Printer g

tor Of the Herald very much. Why

full experiment in that direction him

formed he did not get a vote. As t.
q the share Tar CLARION had in the pub
E. lie printing 10 iS72, and upon which tn
y gentleman has harped whenever an
wherever he could command typ
'e enough to reach the public, we will sin
, ply state that what this paper did wa

mt However, this matter has been iul
as explained before, time and again, al
&c apparently to the satisfaction Of eve
