WHY MISOUOTE9

The Transcript speaks about u amer
oats Democrats who would prefer to Sc,
Mr.. DUPONT seated as Senator. Will
he please publish list of their names
The Transcript pretends that thest
Democrats he speaks of, fear another
Doodle campaign in case Mr.. DUPONT
is not seated. But that won't 60. n
A list of thos3 Democrats would be in.
teresting. Lets have them soon please.
l-Sedford Ne,us.
Did the TRANSCRIPT speak Of ",aas,,a.
erous Democrats who would prefer to
see Mr.. DUPONT seated as Senator?'
We think not. Numerous means
"a great NUMBER" and the TRAN
SCRIPT never used such an expression
in such a connection. This is error
No. / on the part of the Neaus.
'The TRAN SCRIPT pretends p' This
is error No. 2, for the TRANSCRIPT
never "pletends.' To pretend is 10
feign, to affect, to allege falsely, and
no one can justly charge the TRAN
SCRIPT with this offence.
"The TRANSCRIPT pr etends that
these Democrats he speaks of fear
another Doodle campaign" This is
error No. on the part of the News.
Nothing was said as to ''fear" in the
matter. The Democrats who believe
that Col. DUPONT was elected under
the provisions of the constitution, and
tecause of that belief, being honest
men, hope to see him seated as mat
ter of justice, are not interested in
Doodle either to "fear" or to court it.
1t is evident that the Democratic pa
pers in the State do not "fear" another
Doodle campaign. If they were honest
they would acknowledge that Doodle
has ruled in the State for years and be-
ing so very familiar with it all afear''
has departed.
But since the Ne,cs in ten lines
makes three errors in misquoting us,
we have little hope of getting justice
at its hands. 1t does not quote us.
Such fairness it does not know. The
TRANSCRIPT said there are Dem
ocrats who believe that Col. duPout is
elected and they hope to see him seated,
and that they do not want to see
another Doodle campaign in this State.
All of this is true.
GA list of those Democrats would be
interesting. Lets have them soon
please" This is intended as a
"clincher," since the editor knows that
no honorable newspaper man would
parade the views of private citizens in
public print, without their consent.
The impression intended to be made is
that there are no such Democrats. If
the editor Of the Ne,cs will write
private letter stating that he will use
the names furnished him only to find
out whether or not the statements of
the TRANSCRIPT are true or false, and
that he will not against their wishes
use their names in public, the names
will be given to him. We can do
nothing more. We could not properly
give the names in these columns and
the Ne,cs knew that when it asked for
the list.
The in the quotation
represent mean fling at the members
of the Legislature who suggested the
name Of Col. DUPONT for the Senate,
and at Col. DUPONT himself. 1t is
small politics, and unworthy any editor

LIBERAL1TY IN poLIrrcs,


The appearance this week Of our
regular Washington letter, after fort
nights omission, the correspondents of
the syndicate having been on their va
cation, recalls the fact, that the same
pen that this week arraigns the Adj
ministration so vigorously, can, anu
does, praise as unsparingly. 1t is busi-
ness with the reporters who are all
around men, accustomed to look at
matters from all standpoints. And
they may write truthfully and consist
emily according to the point of view
taken. Those who read our Washing
ton letter will find that Mr.. Cleveland
is credited with manipulating the
wires for third term that he has be-
come a multi-millionaiIe since he be-
came President and that too without
any unusual visible income, while the
people have become poorer. All this
may be true and the reporter gives it to
the public through Republican pa
per-a Democratic editor would not
accept it. For the latter paper he finds
something else, just as true, but from
another point of view and acceptable
to the editor of another political faith.
The inference is that no political party
has a monopoly of the good, and no
party is wholly bad. Only the foolish
ly blind and the leech that feed upon
party to the sucking away its life blood,
believe anything else. How silly are
the people who quarrel over politics !
Every man should have political pref
erence in this country. The perpetual
tion of free Republic demands that
the people take an interest in the
affairs of State, but that man is men,
tally weak who thinks less of his
neighbor who honestly and conscien-
tiously differs with him on matters of
politics.
But it is not the men alone who hold
and act upon party prejudice. Women
politicians overreach the men in this
regard. And there are more women in
politics than is generally believed.
Many statesman, SO called, owes his
party advancement to his wife. Gen.
eral John A. Logan is said to have had
such wife, and it is more than proba-
BILE that had he lived she would have
been the chief instrument in seating
him in the Presidential chair. The
writer once felt the shock of fall from
favor in the eyes of the fair because of
his political views. He had had over
twelve-months of pleasant aquain-
tance and cordial friendship in family
where fair ones predominated. 1t had
been without political discussion, an
off year, and to this day he recalls the
cooling temperature of the household |
on the occasion when his political
sentiments became known. He tried
for the mere sake of winning against |
prejudice to regain the lost favor but
though the friendship was unbroken it |
lacked the cordiality given those who |
are zone of u.s." 1t is ridiculous but
it is true. Some practise it " no would |
not acknowledge it. Education does
not always exercise it. Ignorance, how
ever, cultivates it and with ignorance |
it chiefly abides-the lack of liberality |
in politics, in society, in every avenue
of life.
