A PLAGIARIST.

The Evening News has just made the
startling discovery that the fight for
mayor is now on, and "Wednesday even
ing the political editor" of said paper
attempted to define the political situa-
ton with fragments of articles which
have been published in the Courier
three or four weeks ago. But even with
the Courier's explicit statements before
him. his endeavor in this direction
proved most dismal and ridiculous
failure in many respects. His effort To
authoritatively enlighten the people Of
Lincoln on questions of political import
would have been comprehensive, reliable
and logical had he copied the Courier's
articles verbatim instead of garbling
them as he did with the hope of giving
his prophecies" originality. 1t is
admitted by every one that the Courier
is eminently the political author
ity on city politics, etc, and that its pro
auctions should be swiped without credit
constrains me to protest most vigorously
against such a practice. Every state
ment of the article printed by the even
ing paper-except those which seemed
prompted by imbicility or sad lack of
knowledge or common sense-were
all printed in these columns some time
ago. 1t was the Courier that first ad-
vised l.. L. Z. Stewart to call an early
meeting of the city republican central
committee. 1t was the Courier that first
suggested amendments of various kinds
to the Crawford county system: and the
Courier, in enumerating the names of
the gentlemen who aspire to the mayor
atty chair, published a complete list of
them, and not only few, as did our
contemporary.
Our contemporary AYERS that Ed
Sizer and John p Maule will antago-
nize Mayor Graham to the last length,
and further alleges that DR.. E. l.. Hol-
yoke, Sam Melick, Roy Stew
art ct. al. will oppose Mr..
w. A. Woodward. Since when has
the cautious man in politics been divulg-
ing his sentiments prematurely, especi-
ally to a reporter? Or has the reporter
in question been made the confidential
adviser to the gentlemen named? There
is absolutely no truth in these assertions.
If Ed Sizer, John Maule, DIR. HolyOke
and the others here named were asked
whom they will or will not support for
udNOf next spring tucs Wouiu iciuSo w
answer such question:; at least
at this time. How, then, can
any one assert, that which is only vain
imagining on their part.
Frank Graham, like ANY other man
who holds office, has alike many friends
and enemies. If he had none, it would
signify his unfitness for office. Mr..
Woodward has done nothing to incur the
displeasure of those who are said by the
News to be against him. Why, then, 50
much buncombe from this source? There
is, however, no longer any doubt but
that Mayor Graham, o. W. Webster and
w. A. Woodward, are candidates for
mayor, as are j. ID. Parker and Barr
Parker.
The News also declares that the min
isterial association will try to smother
Graham's ambition. Is there any legiti-
mate proof for this allegation? 1t is not
believed that the ministers OF Lincoln
have as yet expressed any opinion on
this subject. nor is it likely that they will
for some time. L.
