Fort Worth daily gazette. (Fort Worth, Tex.) 1882-1891, 1884-05-29
Under Which King, Benzonian?"

The Fort Worth GAZETTE says 1T Is IAN |
organ inimical to the best interests of the |
state, 1t is passing strange that its circulation
daily increases" The Globe-Democrat. a |
rabid radical sheet, the great defamer of Tex |
as, could use the same argument Just as forci- |
bly,. In another column, THE GAZETTE |
comes much nearer the truth. when 1t says as
long as II publishes the news the people will
buy and read 1t; and again, throwing Off its
flimsy disguise. 1t boldly declares, "rHE GA
zETrE was not set up in business as n guard
ian of public morals, or popular rights, or in
teres,s;" and illustrates its position by the
remark OF II Chinaman who had oranges for
SALE Ten cent apiece; you no likee, you no
takee, - you;' which dash reminds one very

gard for public morals AMI popular rights
aud interests, taken In connection with the
loving care manifested for the Republicans

that prominent Republicans are continually
praising 1t, and use its columns to express
| their political views. one is driven TO the con-

Worth GAZETTE will soon be the acknowl-
edged organ, not only of the monopolists, but
also OF the Republican party of Texas.-Mar-
shall Messenger.
In the same issue of the Messenger
from which the above Is taken we find
the letter written by Mr.. T.. E. Cole
man (Republican) to THE GAZETTE
from Lengview. The Messenger, it
seems, would deny to THE GAZETTE
the right to do what it does itself.
The sin of the Messenger is greater
. than that of THE GAZETTE, for Mr..
Coleman requested us to, print his let
ter, whereas the Messenger voluntarily
: copied the letter from THE GAZETTE.

Republican literature yesterday, in
