Martinsburg herald. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1881-1920, 1893-08-26
| Tnwood Herald, of Wednesday. |
Don't do il, Brothers.

The proprietors of the Statesman,
one of whom is Secretary of the Fair,
have posted huge placards in and
about the Fair grounds announcing
the politics of that paper and out
lining a Democratic platform.
This is wholly and utterly unjus-
tifable and an insult to the manage
nent and patrons ofthe Fair Nothing
will so surely wreck what now gives
promise of being a magnificent success
as to drag the filth and mire Of
partisan politics into an exposition of
this kind.
The HERALD has very decided polit-
ical opinions and will maintain them as
stoutly and persistently at the proper
time as the Statesman dares, but there
is an eternal fitness, time and place,
for such things.
The Inwood HERALD was started for
the sole purpose of booming the Fair ;
is supported by Democrats and Re
publicans alike, and politics cannot
enter its columns.
The name InwooG" was given to
the HERALD to distinguish it from the
Martiusburg Herald, which is polit-
ical organ. We trust our friends will
see the error of their way and desist,
