L6OD4 III STAL.
EDITOR DIsPATcH-It seems that
Mr. Sallee's efforts for the republican
party IN Phillips county has cause a
rattle among the dry bones of the old
Herald True, Mr.. Sale has not al
ways been republican, but it only
took hum short time to see the error
of his way, and return to his old al
leglance, on account of his party at
that time being turned over by schem-
ing politicians to the democratic par
ty, the same as the third party is to-
day. In this the Herald editor is
some four years behind time Mr..
Sallee never belonged to a political
organization when it required a grip,
sign, pass word, etc, to ride into Of
fee, neither would his sense of loyal
ty TO his state and country permit
him to belong to a party whose leader
wrote of the deplorable condition of
the "down-trodden producersn men
who were forced to sell their honor.
women their virtue, and children be-
come criminals and outcasts. Can
the editor of the Herald say as much.
The Herald editor should not call too
much attention to people who change
their politics as in case of defeat of
his party it might be little embar-
rasing and take considerable maneuv-
ering to get in with the party that has
the legal printing in ITS grasp. It is
generally conceded that Editor
Brainerd has double capacity to be
anything and by turns everything as
circumstances shall determine. He
is known and properly labeled as
''populist" of the Jerry Simpson
stripe. The people of Phillips coun-
ty have longer and better acquaint-
ance with MIR. Sallee than the Herald
man and will no doubt accord him
the privilege of working and voting
according to the dictates of his own
conscience. AN Ex-GREENBAoKER.
The above appeared in last weeks
Dispatch, and while it pretends to
be from Crystal was written in Phil
lipsburg. The HERALD has no fight
to make upon Mr.. Sallee and the arti-
Gle that caused the above mastery
effort was printed with the hopes that
the closing three lines would be
brought out. There are to-day all
over this land men who dissatisfied
with the present condition of affairs
have left the old parties, and more
particularly the Republican, and who
are each exercising the privilege mot
privilege as the Dispatch has it, OF
aUorki11g and UOting according to the
dictates of has o1Un conscience and
who are willing that other men should
do the same. There seems to be &
desire on the part of some of our PEG
pie to deny to them that right. 81
far as the reference to Mr.. Simpson
is concerned the HERALD would sal
that that gentleman never made an!
such statement regarding the peopl
of any special locality, but wrote th
following:
The poor privilege of producing
wealth is graciously granted, with tn
understanding that they surrende
the products of their toll to thos
{ lords of the nation, and thousands de

in rags, wanting the necessaries O

Under these conditions life become
