Reply to The Herald's Personal
Attack.
Open letter TO Augusta Herald On
| October end you said, LAT in the day
after the committee called on him (Mr.
Black) he decided he would go to the
| polls. He walked up to the polls assis-
led by his friends aud voted for the De-
mocratic nominee" When Mr. Watson
charged that fact upon Mr.. Black you
said: 'Mr Black did not vote at all "
Which of your two statements is a
lie and which is the truth ? 1t is your
funeral, -take choice of hearses.
Instead of answering this PLAIN ques-
ton in a plain way, the dear Herald
repl es with an unworthy, bitter, per-
sonal attack on Ma or McGregor which
is as full of misrepresentat as an egg
is of meat, and to hide. the fact that this
attack on Major McGregor was made to
cover it's own disability to answer his
question, it extends its poison-fanged
justification to Mr.. Watson. The sum
of its reply is that Messrs. McGregor
and Watson are fomentipg strife
among the people n order to obtain
subscribers for THE PEOPLES PARTY
PAPER out of which, the Herald claims,
they srive princely income.
If all the Herald says about THE PEo-
PIES PARTY PAPER were true, If ii
was really mine OF wealth to its own
ers, the ordinary reader will still be at
los to know which horn of the diem
ma presented by Major McGregor the
Herald chose. Was Mr.. Black assisted
to the polls by his friends to cast vote
for himself, or did he abstain from vot'
ing? The Herald made both these con
Trajectory assertions, which one OF
them does it mean to retract by its dive
into the mud ? Without further ex
planation the people will fail to lsno
Ito publish a partisan paper bsIsls,sss

degree in these accomplishment is Il
be measured by the apparent prof
they derive from their circulation, tier
as "fom inter- of strife and breeder
OF tliscord' the Herald leads THE Pro
PIES Party PAPER by long odds. The
subscription price of THE PEOPLES
PARTY PAPER is 80 cents year, OF
about one cent per copy. The subserip
ton price of the Herald is ten cent:
per week or about two cents per copy
Both papers being s page 6 column
papers, it will be seen that the Herait
is just twice as deep in tue bog as TIL
PEOPLES PARTY PAPER is in the mire
But as the white paper and mailing is
about one-half cent per copy, it vii
be seen that THE PEOPLES PARTY
PAPER has only a half a cent left tc
cover all its other expenses where the
Herald has one and d half cents. But
| this is not all. The miscellaneous read.
ing for goldbug papers is furnished
them by the gold syndicate free of cost
and any paper which chooses to antag'
onize the Interests of the people can
obtain this matter already set in type
| without any expense, but all matter
relating to the welfare of the people
must be paid for at the highest rates.
'Fomenter of strife" and breeder OF
discord" for revenue only" comes
with very bad grace when il is applied
by the men who manage the Herald to
the men who man sc The Peoples
! PARTY PAPER.
But an OK, foundering in the mire,
will only get deeper the more he found
ers. Augusta Herald.
