The Ohio Democrat. (Logan, O. [Ohio]) 1886-1906, 1901-05-23


rowed that His expression tour
youthful friend from Ilesboro"
sounds a little like somebody older
writing, but Newcomer Mckay,
though of our age, feels little
older now that he is trusted with
the great post office at Logan, or
perhaps he overlooked that in his
swift running of the typewriter
keys But of course those little
individualities slip in, and we are
considerate under such circum-
stances
| By-the-way, dear old Hooking
county reader, in speaking of New
Conner Mckay, did it ever occur to
you, that there never bas, since
the existance of the Logan post
office, been but one postmaster,
and that was Will Case, that was
a native of this county. All 9TH
ers have been foreign born. Is
there not good Republicans, born
and raised in this county that are
entitled to the Logan post-office,
and other federal appointments.
Excuse us for depressing from the
the subject.
"Old" Editor Mckay, or at
least someone that considers us
quite young, further seeks to dis
inthrall himself in his party as
follows:
"The editor on Shinbone Alley
knows that he is stating what
lis not true when he states
that he has an article by the editor
of the Journal-Gazette in reference
to General Grosvenor. He knows
that it is false and it might be
wise for him to confine his state
ments little nearer the truth
than he has been won't to do. ~ y
The bad men in question are not
the ones who write the silly twad-
die that ordinarily characterizes
the columns of your mentally de-
ficient engine of enlightenment,
but the ones who prepare the FIN
IsHED, wELL-RoUNDED AND GRAMAT-
ICAL ARTICLES; THE ARTICLES THAT
DENOTE THOUGHT. Anyone
with sore-toe can use you, and
everybody who wants to, does"
We again wish to thank the
Postmaster- Editor for his compli-
ment, that our articles are finished,
well-rounded and grammatical, and
denote thought. We plead guilty
that we are the bold, bad man
that wrote them. We did it, Mac,
with our little carrie-nation. We
dug up one of those bad pencils
we tell you about, and the bloody
thing just wrote awful. But SER
iously we will make this state
ment, and back it up with an affi-
davit, THAT NO PERSON OR PERSONS
OTHER THAN M'KAY AND HIS CROWD
EVER WROTE ANYTHING FOR THIS
PAPER AGAINST GRosvENoR AND THE
REPUBLICAN PARTY, AND THAT M'KAY
AND HIS CROWD DID WRITE AGAINST
GRosvENoR AND THE REPUBLICAN
PARTY FOR THIS PAPER and we here
Iin-after prove it by the letters
themselves and the circumstances
under which it was done, and we
did not use the stuff, and they
found us not so "easy' as they
say, and they could not "use us"
when they wanted to do SO.
1t was in the memorable cam
paign of 1893 when Grosvenor was
running against G. E. Peoples, of
Meigs county. 1t was at time
when Grosvenor had written into
this county that L. D. Vickers,
DR.. Campbell and DR.. Dennison
were his trusted lieutenants in this
county. 1t was at time when
Mckay had whinned and cried for
the crummy post-offlce and Gros-
venor had positively refused to turn
Vickers out. 1t was at time
when Mckay and his crowd were
turned down in the Republican
executive committee in this county
and j. r. Smith was elected chair
man of that body. 1t was at a
time when Mckay had the type
set up in his Office denouncing
Grosvenor, when Sands and Bright
bid him be good. 1t was at a time
when Mckay was red-hot at
Grosvenor and told the editor of
the DEMOCRAT, while both were
standing on the street crossing
in front the James building, that
