In commenting upon the sensational
exploit Of the Dallas News in portray
ing Governor Hogg as an anarchist and
traitor to the Union, the Gazette has
accepted It's report Of the speech made
by Governo- Hogg as substantially cor
rect
We assumed that no journal claiming
respectable standing would impute ut
teranoes OF such nature to the OK
eoutive OF the state without the fullest
assurance Of the accuracy Of It's report.
Accepting the News report OF the yer
biage of Governor Hogg's speech as
correct we have pointed out the
gross exaggcration OF the matter
apparent on its surface and have indl-
Gated The sei lous injury likely to result
to Texas from the sensational coloring
given by the News to an unlmportant
episode
It IL now apparent that The Gazette,
in common with the general public, Las
been rsade the victim OF AN unfounded
and clpndcrous report re1sctiye, IN Its
ultimate course, on every NAN, woman
and child In TeSas.
