this morning He appeared TO bt
laborlng under some great mental OK
cltemant and II was soon known u
those present In the business office just
what allied Mr., Nlesz. In voice mel
low with emotion but pitched In IN ex'
ceedingly high key Mr., Nlesz charged
that the NEws'DEMooRAT had been
holding back for several days an article,
republication In to'days issue, scoring
the managers for deciding upon the
erection of the much talked oflog cabin
at the fair grounds, Mr.. Niesz was In
formed that no was In error, but with q
roughness for which he has
been charged but which he
had previously hidden while doing
business at this Office, the secretary
gave the statement the lie, baslng his
action on some alleged information
from some irresponsible person, He
ci arged that the paper had not been
"booming" the fair as he considered II
should have done and went 80 far In his
language as TO charge that the paper
had been the medium through which
sentiment had been aroused against
the log cabin NJ the fair, Finally the
secretary allowed his feelings to 80
much get the better of him That with
his face pale with rage and
his form trembling with emotion
he thumped his hand containing
complimentary fair tickets
upon the desk, and In yoclfer.
Gus tone and Il manner that correctly
guaged the weight Of the man, he ex'
claimed "There'a your tickets, all
ready made out. But yo' can't have
'em. Yo' can't have 'em say, You
cant - but the words clogged In
his throat and he hurried out
An explanation Of this ungentleman'
ly conduct on the part Of Secretary
Nies2 Is due the public, On September
II, underan extended heading the Re.
posltory gave more than u column OF
matter on the progress OF preparations
for the stark county fair. This matter,
as Is all fair matter was sent
that paper by Secretary Nlesz and
was p,lu for nc advertising rates, al
though given IN the form OF news. A
rum0r had been current that II was the
intention of the Republican managers
of tue stark County Fair 10 give their
printing aud advertising exclusively 10
the Republican organ IN this city, and
the organs of the same faith through
out the county, and tolearn whattruth'
fulness there was IN the rumor NEWS
DEMOCRAT representative waited upon
Secretary NiesZ nj the business house
of Durbin, Wright Il Co. There the In.
formation was given by the Secretary
that he gave articles TO the Republican
organ first and that the NEWS.DEMo.
CRAT aud the weekly papers through
out the country were expected 10 take
the article aud publish II after ITS ap'
pearance In that paper, Mr., Neisz was
Informed that II made no difference to
the weekly papers, but the article was
written In the form OF news matter the
News. DEMOCRAT would hardly be vii.
ling to publish II day after the Repub.
lican organ here; that II would be an
easy matter to have both papers publish
II the same day by furnishing one paper
with the article and seeing that the
other paper had proof slip Of II. Mr..
Niesz was very short, rs some men Of
such cllibre are when elevated TO u
position of prominence. He said he
had no time TO furnish but one article 10
the papers: that this article would be
given the Republican organ first, as he
said had always been done, and that he
hadn't the time TO spare TO give the
matter any further attention. The

DEMOCRAT would hardly consent to
handle this matter In the manner re.
quested, u day behind the paper he had
made his organ.
The result Of the interview with
Secretary NiesZ was reported at the
business office. An effort was made to
reach Mr. Niesz by telephone and a
call was made TO his quarters q short
time later but he was not present, The
following letter was then sent him:
