n most ungrateful manner toward
the editor of the Roslyn News. The
newspaper man comes out In long
double-leaded editorial in which Mr..
Maloney figures as u pollti cal in
CRATE of the deepest dye. After
reading the pathetic story of his
maltreatrnent of the editor, one won
ders why Mr.. Maloney is chasing
such small political game His high
ability as u politician entities him
to enter the lists ns u United States
senator, or at least as member Of
the house Of representatives.
Here, according to the News, is
what its editor did for Maloney:
Although not voter in the precinct,
the Roslyn democracy saw fit to send us
as one of the delegates to the county
convention, and while there We were
drawn into tho political swim to
/ greater extent than we should have
allowed ourselves to be. The principal
feature of our work in tho convention
was our persistent efforts in behalf of the
recognition Of NJ. j. Maoney, no matter
what Office he was up for, and in that
| connection we nominated him for
auditor. We are not patting ourselves
| on the back when we say that he had
never been thought of for office until we
| brought his name forward. Another
man had been picked out, whose nomi-
nation was to have been Inado by accla-
nation. but we brought up the name of
Maloney at an opportune moment,
traded votes with men who had axes TO
grind, and otherwise made ourselves
previous, with the result that Maloney
was declared the unanimous choice.
Whether or not Mr.. Maloney got
there with both feet, or not at all,
the post-election edition of the News
saith not. Probably not for that
candidate hied him away to n print
ing office and had printed large
number of hand-bills accusing the
News of treacherously taking money
from the republican sack. The News
explains the charge as follows:
Last week, through an error of judg-
ment growing out oil our short acqunint-
ancc with the opinions and feelings of
the people, and failure TO consider the
matter more fully, we printed an adver-
tisement which some of the republicans
saw fit to make capital of against him.
In connection with this man who
says he is friend of Maloney and a
good democrat took occasion Sunday on
the streets of Roslyn to abuse us in a
highly accomplished manner claiming
that We were bought by the republican
J party, and that we were paid by them
, TO run the said advertisement, all of
which was coupled with the pleasing in.
formation in the presence of Maoney
that he would assassinate us were he the
subject of the advertisement.
After due reflection the editor of
the News reaches frank and en-
tertaining conclusion, as follows:
The result would seem to us to indi-
cate THAI we mixed up too much in pol
itics. We worked in every issue for the
election of Maloney. We did a thing
that we never did before and never will
again for any man-made II q distinctly
personal matter with our three repub-
lican friends that they vote for him for
auditor. We printed ailidavits for him,
and spent more money than our limited
means would warrant in the hope of
helping him in the campaign. For all
we have done we have been repaid an
hundred fold-in abuse and SANDER.
, Does it pay TO mix In politics2
Several thousand American citi-
, zens have asked that selfish ques-
, ton within the week past. We
sincerely hope politics will never
pay them. What right has II man
to expect pay for patriotism? A
narrow view to take of lofty duty!
If the News man worked for Ma.
, loney, he should have done SO
through lofty sense Of duty, and
the consciousness of duty done
would have sustained him when he
was denounced and upbraided by
the beneficiary of all these favors.
The News man has made no new
| discovery. Hundreds of years ago
the immortal Shakespeare penned
lines somewhat like these:
Blow blowl Thou winter wind
Thou art not more unkind
Than is Maloney.
; Sharp though thy tooth, and rude,
5 Yet thy ingratitude
Is but pony lin comparison with
, that OF Maloney)
