The Sentiners denial of what we said of
its editor and owner two weeks ago does
not suffice. 1t is matter Of fact too we'll
known In this county that both of these
gentleman have opposed the regular demo.
cratic nominees when they themselves fail
ed to secure the nomination. The editor
OF the Sentinel admits this, so far as he is
concerned. The only denial so far as re-
lates to the proprietor of that paper is that
he never openly opposed any democratic
nominees. II an earnest personal solicita-
tion OF democratic voters to support re-
publican candidate be no. open opposition
to the democratic candidate, then we know
not what open opposition is. We have been
informed by men whose word is beyond
question, that they were urged by the pres
ent owner of the Sentinel to support Mr.
Kinter for Prothonotary
The allegation that the junior editor OF
this paper was ever conspicuous at the
polls as republican is not true He has
been connected with the COLUMBIAN for sew
en- years; the year previous to that he was
out OF the county, and he never voted the
republican ticket but once in his life, aud
that was his first vote.
Two charges are made against the senior
editor of this paper. One is thst a former
partner OF his "travcled this county with Il
certain candidate for sheriff against the
regular nominee" That might be true,
hIlf ~ -, Ia, ,i
OF any PARTNER we could not prevent him
from travelling through the county when
he pleased and with whom he pleased. But
in fact the allegation is not true as the
'former partner alluded to had sold his
interest in this paper before he travelled
the county as alleged.
Again, we are accused of declining to
publish "well prepared article on the tariff
question, few campaigns ago, defending
the democracy on that issue" The "relia.
BILE information" on this point is partly
true. We remember one instance in the
Hancock Campaign where an article was
handed us for publication. and which we
were requested to print editorially. We de-
clined to indorse it because it distinctly ad-
vocated free trade. AS we are now and al
ways have been believers in protective
tariff properly adjusted, the article was
not in accordance with our views and we
could not consistently print it as our own
1t is the right of every editor to use his dis
cretion ut to what he will publish, and
what reject, and this right we shall always
continue to exercise. The Sentinel is cor
rect Our rejection of the article in ques.
tion was "trom principle" Nothing has
ever been rejected which we considered
sound doctrine, nor what in our humble
Judgment we believed to be for the best in
terests of the democratic party.
Such trivial attacks as the Sentinel under
takes to make upon our democracy is the
strongest kind OF proof that the record of
the COLUMBIAN is unassailble

Beginning in 1876, we have
had for several years the largest
shoe-trade in the world. For a
year or two at first we dealt
chiefly in the lower grades. AS
our general trade improved our
shoe-trade grew in quality as
we'll as in volume. There was a
time when we got to keeping
about every kind that anybody
imagined he or she wanted. 1t
was then that we reached the
distinction Of having the largest
shoe-trade in the world.
Four years ago we began to
drop the lower grades and to
narrow our stock to the actual
needs of people. We have
gradually dropped and dropped
since then, until we are able to
say that we haven't a shoe in
the store that isn't useful and
proper to somebody - not a
kind of shoe that somebody
hadn't better wear.
Every fashionable shape and
kind of course, many that fash
ion permits, and some that CON
tinue in spite Of fashion-these
we keep. What we have drop
ped are mainly shams, false
leather, work disguised with the
skill of a counterfeiter-shoes
that are made to cheat with and
not to wear. there are many
kinds of such-very cookbook
ing shoes, some Of them-made
for short-sighted merchants, not
for the wearers.
But thousands on thousands
of people buy these shams of
shoes. The industry of making
them is an enormous one. Nine
ty-nine in a hundred shoe-deal-
ers sell them. You can't Judge
leather. More than half of you,
distrustful of shoes in general,
grudge the necessary price OF
proper shoes. 1t takes some
pluck in a merchant to tell you
the truth.
We count it one of our most
signal achievements that we
have turned every imitation shoe
out of the store-keep nothing
but honest leather and work
and yet have lost no trade. We
didn't do it suddenly. 1t took
us three or four years to bring
our standard up to where we in
tend to keep it, 1t is success
enough that during this time o
contention with the less intelli
gent half of our own customer,
trade has not diminished.
1t was necessary to relate thi'
history to convey an adequate
notion of what our shoe-trade is
