ANOTHER TRIBUNE LIAR 8OBS UP
CARL WANG OF DRAPER CALLS
ATTENTION TO FALsEHooDs.
Herald Story Was Entirely True and
Tribune Denial of It Mendacious
As Usual.
NE the Edftor Of The Herald:

To the Editor OF The Herald:
Draper, March 29.-In the Tribune OF
March 2S appears correspondence from
Draper, purporting TO be inspired by
Truth and Justice" giving your eorre-
spondent particular fits and calling the
statements of an item printed in The
Herald OF March % "a ne,' which IN
vective may be q fit argument fer a
Tribune correspondence to use. Now
the fact is that there is ao, an un-
truth in the item referred to. The par
ticuiar part of which, whcreto oojscu0>
is raised by the gentleman, reads as
follows: Your correspondent mas
+ sounded some Of the people mere OF ooLh
political parties, and most OF them
(those sounded) are loud in their de-
nunciatiens of the course pursued oy
the minority and especially those sign
ing the Letition requesting certain mem-
bers to pursue a certain Course. which
petition was entirely ignored by them.
Every fair-ninded person Will per-
ceive that your correspondent dld not
pretend to speak for the people in gen
eral (as does the Tribune correspond
ent), but based his Information on con
versation with and remarks MADE by
some Of our prominent Democrats ana
some Republicans. 1t will De clearly
made by the gentleman. Your CORE
spondent is willing to conceoe 20 The
statement made in the Tribune tnlt
the ms j0rity of the people Though not
10 per cent? are strongly in favo- oi
the minority. Why. of counsel tiuT
Republican friends are. without ans
doubt, laughing in their sleeve. and to-
gethe4' with some few Democrats. re
perfectly willing to side IN with the
Democratic correspondent of the Trlb-
une in his view of the situation. The
gentleman must have let his usually
bright intelligence get somewhat be-
logged by his prejudice. when he is not
able to distinguish the difference ne
tween the words some of. as writ
ten by your correspondent, and "a ma
jority Of the people, as supplied b.
him. Also when he requests the Trlb-
une to resent a lie of The Herald.
What has The Herald to do with it
anyhow, only as the medium of infor-
nation. and again when he charges
your correspondent with making errOn-
eous statements intended as a gross
insult to d. o. RideOut. Such charges
the gentleman is wholly unable to sub
stantiate, while your correspondent Is
ready. if necessary. to prove every
statement made by him.
In regard to the petition that appears
to Cypress the gentleman's sensibility
of correctness so much, and in which
he claims fourteen names were written
by the same man, how does he know
Simply because of similarity in writ
ing. That's his proof. And because
among six score names are to be found
the names of two minors and one alb
sentee, the list is "a fraud from begin
ming to end" Yet it was signed by
some of the best men and women of the
town, and by about so or 30 per cent
of the Democrats,
Who said anything about Mr.. Ride
outs not being a gentleman, anyhow
If the Tribune correspondent will con-
fine the range of his optics within the
limits of Draper instead of letting them
ramble over the state, he will find men
right here that. according to their
means and their ability, have done az
much as anybody, and that withc- any
PROSPECTS of ever being remunerated by
a United States senatorship. The whole
screech OF the gentleman is hardly
worth noticing, inasmuch as his own ex-
preston, "a fraud from beginning to
end" would become it very befitinsly.
CARL WANG.
