The managing editor Is ont in an open
letter, making personal attack upon one Of
the propretors of the HERALD. We are
perfectly willing to leave the questions raised
by the ten-dolar-a-week hirclng to the
people of shenandoah, and are confident that
the decision will be anything but favorable
TO the aforesaid managing editor" We are
willing to adopt this course, notwithstanding
Mmty's' egoustical praise of himself and
the great benefit l2) hc hats been to the
community laye the mark D
The people of Shenandoah, to their own
sorrow be it said, have not yet bad efaccd
from their memory the fact that this same
individual, as managing editor" arraycd
ueghbora against neighbor by his bitter an@
bgoted articles from day to day, engender-
ing a spirit thata man having the least regard
for the public veal would have paused before
attempting; hc has attacked the personal
characters of private individuals for no
ather reason than that they exercised the
right vouchsaled to every American citizen,
to differ in opinion with himself; and now,
when the light of day" is turned upon
himself, he whiuos and asks for quarter like
a whipped cur
What is more, this aforesaid managing
editor upon every opportunity and without
the least provocation, has, issue after issue
for the past six months or over, attacked the
HERALD, until patience has ceased to be a
virtue. So far as his attacks upon us were
concerned we have ignored them entirely
until recently. We would not then have
honorcd his mean, spiteful vaporngs with
the dignity of a reply were it not for the fact
that we have been appealed to, and by some
of his own supporters, to show the motive
underlying the attacks upon some Of Shen-
audoah s best citizens, which cmanates only
from diseased mind and which is so elouded
by bigoted ideas that he cannot see anything
good that does not originate in the small
empty cavity in his Uranium where the brains
are supposed to be located
'MaIty' cannot cover up his malicious
feelings even in such n charitable movement
as the relief of people who are in need of
assistance, but must, forsooth, make that an
excuse for an outburst of splenotic black
guardism. And this contemplate excuse for
man once had charge of our schools He is
the same individual, with the same narrow
and bgoted preiudices now that he was
then, the only difference is that when super
intendent he curhcd, for reasons better known
to himself, the true principles of the man,
and while managing editor he felt it not
incumbent upon himself to be so guarded in
his remarks about individuals who differed
with him.
Marty column diatribe is the whining of
a spanked school boy, and has evoked more
laughter at his impotent outburst than any
thing else. The editor of the HERALD, and
Marty knows who he is, though it suits
his vindictiye nature to assume not to, cares
very little for his personal TRADES and the
passing Of Marty" judging from his open
letter Of egotstic praise, is public benefac-
tion.
1t is to be hoped that we have done with
the managing editor" but if he continues
to use his position to abuse, without the
least proyoeation, private citizens of the
town, as well as out Of it, we shall be only
too pleased to turn on our batteries again.
1t all depends upon Martyrs" conduct in
the future.
Tra-la-la, Marty, ," dear!
