A blatant upstart has editorial charge
of the Nashville World WHO'S ignorant
-of the connmonest courtesies of Jour-
lnalisnl, and whose demagogic pen ia
ever ready to be dipped in falsehood
and SANDER. He mistakes personal
insult for wit and has no regard for
the accuracy of his infamous assertions.
He is pitiable parvenu in the news
paper world who achieved some cheap
inotoriety by writing campaign litera-
ture of a Sensational and unreliable
character for daily journal This
pulled his vanity to unreasonable di-
mansions and he is now trying to sus-
tain his reputation by increasing his
stock of billingsgate and making
heavy draughts on his imagination to
keep up his personal ISLANDERS. The
following is a sample of his editorial
paragraphs, and we wish to remark in
the plainest language at our command
that from beginning to end it is an un-
warranted falsehood
sThe GAINESVILLE Chronicle would not
be anything il it did not reflect the
views of ex-senator James E. Bailey.
If there is. "a fool in the State who
wishes to hear his opinions on political
affairs, history has not made any record
OF the name" @
The editor of the CHRoNIcLE does
not know Senator Bailey and never in
his life has he spoken to that distin-
guished gentleman. He was law
student at Lebanon when Col Bailey
first canvassed the State as candidate
for the U. S. Senate, and heard him
speak there. That is the only politi-
cal utterance he has ever heard from
the ex-Senatoris lips. 1t may be well
enough to state, furthermore, that Sem
ator Bailey has never written, dictated
or suggested line for the CHRONICLE
since the present editor has had charge
of the paper. The present editor of
the CHRONICLE did not agree with
Senator Bailey on the State debt ques-
ton, but supported Bate and the 500
platform in the SomervIlle Falcon,
which he then owned and controlled,
The editor of the Nashville World
had no warrant or authority for the
above assertion, and it can be credited
only to an Overweaning propensity to
insult and SANDER those with whom |
he differs in political opinions. Per-
sonal journalism is very abhorrent |
and would not be INDUCED in by the
CHRONICLE without extreme provoca-
lion. The editor of this paper is a |
young man who has his way to make |
in the world and cannot tamely sub
nit to such wanton malignment.
We pronounced the whole of the
above paragraph false, but it may con-
ain one truth that we did not at the
lime notice. 1t asserts that the fools
N the State do not wish to hear from
Senator Bailey, and we don't know
my one better accredited to speak for
hat class of citizens than the editor of
he Nashville World. The attempted
INSULT to the ex-senator was as mean
is it was uncalled for. He is known
o be man of exceptionally honest
Jews, and besides that, he is, so far as
We can learn, strictly in private life
nd not seeking any means to bring
himself before the public.
In concluding, we wish to inform
he editor of "the daily tender to the
Jourier Journal" as the World has
'een APPLY designated, that this article,
t least, was written by the man whose
Iame appears at the head of this col
INN as editor, and he is wholly re-
ponsible for all 1t contains.
