Arizona weekly journal-miner., 1901-07-03

false premises: ''Since the Journal Murphy denounces the Courier for saying that it makes no practical difference whether Murphy appoints republicans or Murphy democrats on territorial boards, etc, etc." What the Journal Miner criticised, not de- nounced, in the Courier, was for say ing that it makes no practical differ ence whether Murphy is kicked justly or unjustly, or in its own language, ''The Courier does not believe that Murphy can get lick amiss, Even if some patriot whacks him for some thing he did not do"
 Our contemporary in very feeble way attempts to defend its personally malicious article of Thursday morn- ing by saying 1t makesa plain state ment of facts" The particular statement made wherein malice and vindictivsness cropped out, was to the effect it made no difference whether a charge against Governor Murphy were true or not, he should be attacked just the same. As to making a plain statement of facts against him or any one else on any proposition such a thing would be a rara avis in that paper. Its strong forte is in conglOmerate mixture of half told truth, inverted and twisted in such a manner as to make it un- recognizable, and insinuations, bor- dering closely on, if not entirely on the line of misrepresentation. Dur ing period of nineteen years we can recall very few instances where fair and honest criticism, in that paper, has not been mixed with personal vi- tuperation.

 Our contemporary thismorning res urrected its old type worn clinching argument about "black lists" "Jour- nal-Murphy," "mine black listing etc. The mileage statement" "How does the Journal-Murphy stand on the capitol building question:" and a few other similar standing argu' ments could not be found in time for this mornings issue but an active search of the office is now in progress by every one connected with the of flee and it is hoped that they may be unearthed in time for Mondays issue and the entire battery will be fired al Journal Murphy"
