Last Saturdays Clarion contained
some violent structures upon us because,
forsootb, we copied without comment
into our columns a letter signed by Mr..
j. E. Gibson, of New Orleans, in which
he quoted and commented at length up
on certain utterance of the Clarion on
the silver question. Our young and
somewhat rash neighbor thinks we
should have at the same time STATED its
position on the silver question; and be-
cause we did not do so, makes the very
serious accusation against us Of having
Committed an act which fair minded
journal would not be guilty Of"
Now, we might retort that our rather
"fiip'' and impetuous neighbor is well
come to think what it pleases about it.
But we prefer to simply say that the ar
ticle was handed to us when very busy,
and after an absence Of nearly two
weeks, with a request to insert it, and
even had We known that it was load
ed"-a fact which we were not aware of
we do not think that we are
amenable to such criticisms. 1t
the Clarion does not care to reply to
Mr.. Gibson and persists in calling some
one else to account, we will furnish it
with the name OF the gentleman who re-
quested the publication of tho letter, if
it 30 desires.
