ALLEGAN, Mich Sept. II, 1892.
| Publisher GLOBE. Durham.
DEAR SIR-What will you charge US
for fifty copies of your paper from now
until election? Please send me sample
copy. Yours, etc, FREDT [. WARD.
In looking through a newspaper direc-
tory. we find that Mr.. WARD runs a re-
publican newspaper, and so we have
written him that we nave no papers to
sell him or give him, if he expects 10
garble what we write about the pension
question. When we wrote that about
half of the pensioners were thieves and
bummers-perhaps more than half-we
meant it. We are of that particular
| classic mould that will tell the truth.
COLONEL HARRITY, chairman of the
national democratic committee, who tele-
graphed SIMMONS to suppress THE GLOBE,
made the same old blunder which has
always kept the democratic party in the
soup.
Right here in the city Of Durham, over
a hundred men nave come to US and COM
plimented US on our stand on pensions
and only this morning one Of our best
citizens and a captain in the Confederate
army said to go on. That if HARRITY
| did not want the truth, to let him get out
of the way. CLEvELAND wrote his rec
ord clear, and he slapped the dirty beg
gars in the face. He wants a chance to
do the same business again, and the truth
will hurt no one.
If we were running this paper for the
| democratic party, it would Of course have
a right to repudiate US. But we are run
ming this paper for Durham, and Durham
is democratic and Durham is supporting
it, rather literally. So why, if the demo-
Gratis of this state support the paper,
should Mr.. HARRITY, Of New York, who
never subscribed for it and never paid a
nickel into its contribution box, send
word to SIMMONS to "repudiate" it?
1t is simply some of their intolerance
their rule or ruin policy. Whenever the
Durham people say that we are wrong,
then we know what to do-and that is,
continue to tell the truth.
The democratic committee wants to
slide in at the North under false pre-
fences. But the truth is coming down
here.
STEVENSON and CLEVELAND, and all the
democratic orators, are saying that the
democratic party wants new members
that their platform is right and they want
votes.
But when Mr.. FAIRBROTHER, from
the northwest, comes here and fights for
lhe South and tells the truth, and wants
CLEVELAND, as he said two years ago in
these very columns, some of the fellows
who want office and would lie to get it,
yell, pull him off-he is a republican.
Well, that is all right. If we are for
CLEVELAND, and we are, the brave buf.
falO man who has courage and who
threw over his shoulder the presidency
for the principle Of tariff, that is our bus
mess. And all the democratic clubs this
side of the new Jerusalem cannot pull
US down. If the northern editors want
to steal and garble our utterances they
are welcome to do so-the South will
rally. The LORDS prayer can be gar
bled and made mockery. We do not
propose to wear a brass collar and keep
still Just because there are sneaks at the
North who steal what we say. In these
days, under the constitution, there is
free speech, and that's what we enjoy.
MIR. FRED WARD cannot have our
paper at any price-we are running this
thing TO suit ourself.
WHAT HE DOES.
