To the Editor of The Post
Houston, Texas. October 2S.--In the col
umns Of your paper headed Local .ran.-
paign, at the head of which notice is given
This column is the property of the dem
ocratic candidates of Harris county and The
Post assumes no responsibility for what APP
pears ii c,ein." And which seems to be
edited by person signing himself Nj, C. H.,
there have appeared within the last Jew days
sevetal pa tTAphs Al! III" . - my criticism
OF Hon, II h. Rice (now mayor Of the city
of Houston), and to a speech made by me
to colored audience at HARRISBURG SHIRT
time since IN which paragraphs the iacts
are greatly exaggerated and distorted, not
TO use harsher terms. and Yhicn are cal
culated to place me In Il false lsllt before
the people of Galveston dul ilIrn7 coun-
tics. Now, while The Post says 1t does not
assume responsibility. sim II is Tact that
The Post is morally responsible Tor what
1t permits to 20 into its columns aud where
one person is permitted through the col
umns of the paper to do another a Wong
or an injustice it is but fair AMI 'isht that
the injured person should be accorded space
to set himself right if he can.
Therefore. Mr. Editor. | ask space 10 cor
rect the eXaggerations and mlssja'cneLts
above referred to, as follows;
