The state herald. (Holyoke, Logan County, Colo.) 1887-1921, 1893-10-27

article and nhout all that it contained
wasths threat that, II = personal war
fare between the editors" took place,
many OF the people would stop their
papers. II this did not mean threaten
cd boycott, then it meant nothing.
Again, that it was meant for the HERALD
aud not the Mail, is very plain TO any
one who knows the surrounding circum-
stances. The article was taken to tho
Nail for publication and Bro. Hazen
and Woolnan ar. on such very intimate
terms that, to warn Mr.. Woolmsn against
certain course OF action, 1t was entirely
unnecessary to publish an article Of that
kind in the columns OF the Mail, 50, there
could have been no reasonable excuse
for its publication except it be to bring
the article to the attention OF the HERALD
for which purpose, it was undou btedly
published. Even admitting Mr.. Hazons
weak explanation that it was intended
for both lpapers, the HERALp's state
ment that he threatened it with q boy
colt is still correct and not lie % Mr..
aazsn would have the Mail readers be.
lieve. MIR. HAGEN insinuatss one place
in his article that the editor Of the
HERALD did not write the HERALD article
and further on in the article gives this
the lie by another insinuation. We will
state for the gen tleman's salts actiou that
the "manag ement" Of the HERALD, q he
is plensed to put it, consists Of the editor
Of the paper whose name appears at its
head and who wrote the article in cues.

of OF the political record OF the populist
editor. He will not deny that he warned
US against personal warfare between
the editors" and the gentleman knows
very we'll that such warfare, in cam
paigp, consists almost exclusively OF at
tacks upon the political record of editors
The gentleme n, when giving his learned
disquisition on the different ways OF
telling lie should also have gone furth-
Or and given the di ferept methods OF
making a ststement. It was not necss-
sary for the gentleman to say in so
many words, "If the HERALD opens up
warfare on Woolman's record, many OF
the people will boycott IT," for be is we'll
drilled in the use OF the English
language and could say the same thing
in much smoother and more elegant
manner, IS he put it in his article. He
says he never claimed TO DO "reformer"
and that, OF course makes the HERALD
q liar and we humbly apologize for even
that he fsvors reform. In

to sss Bro. HAGEN show such an un-
spirit ~ to offer such prayer
at the expense Of large number OF the
Colorado populis.s who are With the
party on the silver plank but on no other
plank OF the party platform and at whom
this prayer must certainly have been am
ed. We desire to apologize to the readers
Of the HERALD for dsvoting ~ much space
to Bro. Hszen but the gentleman has such
= decided aversion for personal news

whom be can take part In them, that We
deemed il our duty to crafty him lite
in that direction.
