FREEDOM OF PRESS AND FREE
DOM OF SPEECH.


The Troy (Mo.) Free Press, one OF
Missouri's stanachest Democrstic
papers, believes in the freedom Of the
press, and when q party by the name
of DR.. Mckay, over his own signsture,
wanted to publish q criticism on Hon.
Champ Clark the Free Press gave him
space In its columns. Public men with
the record Of Hon. Champ CLARK can
not be injured by any criticism and
court q public examination of their
records.
OF course there are some people in
Troy who thought the Free Press
should not have given DR.. Mckay
room in its columns. There are q few
people of that kind In Mexico. They
are opposed to freedom of speech or
of the press. Henry Childers, editor
Of the Fress Press, IL one Of Missouri's
most worthy newspaper men and, in
view Of the criticism, wrote to Hon.
Champ CLARK and 8. q. Cook, Chair
man of the State Central COMMITTEES,
for their opinion In reference to this
matter. The following letters explain
themselves:
Fl. F. Childers, Esq, Troy, Mo-:
BOWLING GREEN, NO., Oct. 8, 1885,
Dear Childers: Think you did right
in publishing the piece Of DR.. Mckay.
1t appears to me to be . cracking good
Democratic campaign document. Tho
Democratic appeal 10 to the human
understanding. The Republicans, as
usual, are conducting . campaign Of
personal v%illifcstion and abuse. II We
cannot win on the grounds OF reason,
we cannot win at all, and ought not to.
Yours truly,
CHAMP CLARK.
Mr.. III. F. Childers, Troy, NO.:
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Oct. 5, 1ses.-My
Dear Childers: Your editoriali il bound
to turn the Mckay article to good adj
vantage. 1t 10 sufficient and to the
point. I am satisfied that the result
will be beneficial to Mr.. Clark and the
Democratic party. II will do ss much
toward getting out q full Democratic
vote as anything that could have been
done. Very truly yours,
8. B. Cook.
