Gadding Over to Gassiei

The Citizens Committee is still dis
consulate. 1t has lugged the communi.
cation, which we had no room for and
little disposition to publish, over to the
Gazette, and as usual, that cross eyed
coquette meets them with her sweetest
smile and sets them an easy chair in the
first page, first column. Then the @. G,
adjust their spectacles, smooth down
their immaculate skirts, pull out their
knitting, and the fun begins The first
luscious victim is the NEWS HERALD.
Assttch by stitch, they work on Growers

and intent, published the expulsion of
Horst and Duckwall from the Republi-
can Executive Committee as matter of
news, and without word of comment.
Now, if it was true, which can not be
said of many things promulgated by the
Citizens Committee, then why should
We be censured? If it was not true,
then our enterprise in that matter should
be condemned. But, the publication of
a mere statement of fact of news with.
out comment, is not malicious stab at
private character" Neither does it inn
pose upon us any obligation to open our
columns to voluminous arguments after
a judgment has been rendered, and to |
useless and unnecessary, if not "malic-
ious" reflections upon the character OF
others.

you wish, to the delight of your souls.
