words of farewell to the Gsauy readers of

In severing the relations which have
heretofore existed between the editor and
readers of this paper, desire first to as
sure you that the change will result in no
deterorltion of the literary merit. moral
tone or financial standiag ofahe GLOBE
REPUBI ICsN In fact, il is our eXpecta-
ton and hope that the standard of excel
lencc in those respects will be raised
rather tbar lowered.
Both the gentlemen xhO will hereafter

known IN this commtlssity rs moral. in
tiustrious energetic men, who COM
mand therespect and enjoy the conf

know them. Both are splendid practical
printers. and MIR. CO,aaway has had many
years experience, both ats newspaper
writer and as job printer. la the latter
respect his skill and taste is'of the highest
order while in the former his scholarly
a.talnma,,ts, his natural intellectual en-
,owmests, the clearness with which his
ideas age expressed and the breezy. enter
tanning alanner in wkieh he is capable of
relating the circumstances of current
events, wil soon cause him 10 be recog-
nized By all as one of the best jour-

We are glad to know that this city and
county. in which nearly nineteen of the
best years of our natural life have been
spent, will be supplied with SO able and
excellent champion AS the GLOBE RE

ment, and we hope to see this land in
which our fOndest earthly hopes have
been centered i'm the past, soon become
under the combined influence of irrigation
and a fiEst-class newspaper to counsel, adj
wise ana herald abroad news pertaining
thereto. the garden spot of the United
States.
The details of the cause of this change
need not be given. Suffice it to say that
the prosperity of the paper and full and
complete harmony in the republican party
during the next campaign, were both
considered in connection Herewith. The
undersigned (while entertaining the most
friendly feeling for every republican in
the circle of his acquaintance within Ford
county, has recently been made to re-
alize that some influential and worthy
members of the party do not regard him
with favor, and the suggestion that we re-
tire from E,e paper having been made to
us by few sincere friends, in the interest
of the party which we have earnestly sup
ported for SO many years, we cheemully
do SO. believing it for the best interests of
the party. the newspaper. and to our own
personal advantage under all the circum-
stances.
In taking this step we have nothing 10
regret. 1t has been the desire of our
heart for some time to escape from the
temptation towards strife and contention
which must necessarily come upon the
editor Of u political newspaper, and there
seems to be no profitable field Of Journal |
ism open at this place, except of 4 politi- |
cal character.
in closing we desire to thank each and
every business mau and woman Of Dodge |
City for the liberal share of their patron
age bestowed upon us in the past, and as
sure them that any indication of I'M
friendly feeling they may have felt to-
ward us is much more than compensated |
by the many good things they have done
for us, and so long As we remain among |
you our best efforts will be directed to
doing what we can to advance your COM
mercial, educational and material inter-
ests.
To the people Of Dodge City and Ford
county generally, We also desire to extend
our most heartfelt thanks and warmest
gratitude for your foshesranee a4Ii charity
