The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1889-04-04
AN APOLOG

The editor of the HERADDis away from
home and his editorial pen with all its
vast responsibilities to the great public,
and the G. O. P. in particular are left in
charge of democrat who sincerely trusts
that the patrons of the HERALD may,
during the absence of the editor, overlook
all mistakes in its photography, punctua-
ton, capitalization, grammar, rhetoric,
logic, or any other ingredient that enters
into the composition of a paper, but
more especially in its political articles.
The said democrat presumes that the
first thing to writefor paper, professed-
ly political, must be a swinging old edi-
torial, that will tickle the fancy of It's pat
rons and raise the hair OF it's opponents
and that the editorial page must be
filled with articles OF political character
either original orclipped, (due credit being
given. No plagiarism permitted in first
class papers like the HERALD).
Now the HERALD, being a republican
paper of the modern type, its weekly ed
torial articles must be of the true republi-
can stripe-they must laud all the acts of
the republicans and pitch into the demo
Gratis i'll general and the last administra-
ton in particular-must assert that all
the appointments Of President Harrison
have been uneXceptionable as to their fit
ness and much superior TO any that were
made by Mr.. Cleveland for the same po-
sitions, from Halstead down Tor from
Halstead up-querT, which way do they
considcr--up or down? The witness is
uncertainty (But right here arises trOub-
le-thc task seems easy, but complied
tons arise-better think out the course
TO pursue. SOlus, Now if l attempt to
write to please the HERALD's editor md
it's patrons, they will discover the fraud
at once, and say they don't believe what
is written and on the other hand my own
friends will wonder what's the NATTER
another Anninias? or is it a brother-in
law Of that ancient individual? No sir,
that position is untenable by the sub
scriber.") Therefore what to say about
politics is an open question yet. If the
democrat i'll charge should say what he
believed there would be war in the camp
OH the return of the editor, and undoubt-
eddy Il great change in the complexion OF
the HERALD's subscri ption list, for he
E lc tI,ot fi,,,a 1,n
could disfis ure said list so much that its
owner would not know it,
1t is therefore deemed best, for the i'll
tercst Of all parties concerned, that the
HERALD shall not contain any articles OF
a political character this week, as there
is no desire on the part of the democrat
in charge to get into fight with the edi-
tor, nor does he wish to see the editor par
alyzed, which would be the case exactly
if the pencil now being welded were al
lowed free scope. (Heavens. how we
should like to let It loose once. Talk Of
your cyclones in January. Whew.J
However, the said democrat feels aw
fully sorry Tor the republican readers OF
the HERALD that they will have to fore
90, Tor short time, their usual weekly
dose of comfort in the shape of Mandatory
and commendatOry comments upon the
acts of the G. 0. P. and as q salve to their
laccrated feelings. he assures them that
the first dose administered after the edi-
tors return will be of the regular sort,
pure and unadulterated, as the germs for
its inspiration will be obtained from
headquarters, at, or near the throne.
Therefore await We with patience the re-
turn of the editor when your utmost eX-
pectations will be fully realized, and at
the same time please overlook the fail
ings of the HERALD during the inspira-
ton incubation.
If the above apology is not sufficient,
let the aggrieved party visit the HERALD
office in person and receive full satistac-
ton, providing that Max" and the rest
of the boys hold out as they are to be
offered up as sacrifices first, if any are
needed.
