Raymond Argument.

Two weeks ago The News expressed
it's opinion in regard to an indignation
meeting held in Willmar and called 4
by an organization known as the Civic
FEEDER alton. Everybody knows what
was accomplishment at that meeting
nothing. The whole thing was nothing
but q bag of wind and after the wind
had escaped there was nothing left but
lot of aabby soreheads. We stated
that the county attorney had good
reasons for continuing the blind pig
cases and say so again but of course
he made a big mistake by not dtvulg-
ing all the secrets of his Office and
tieing them down on the noses of the
Of the Civic Federation. The Will.
mar Tribune takes exception to our
remarks and instead OF trying to
prove anything to the contrary it
makes dirty personal attack upon
the editor of this paper. We are I'M
able to state who wrote the item as
there is such q distinguished aggre.
cation Of quill artists on that rag but
presume It was the dirty work of the
green'eyed lackey employed on that
paper who was here on the Fourth in
the capacity of reporter. He is one
of an aggregation of warts that this
country is cursed with who hug tho
hallucination that they are newspaper
men when in fact they are nothing but
q parody on man and libel on jour-
nalism. Among the more intelligent
people they are today regarded as
beneath the contempt of q NANCY cur.
It is immaterial who wrote it but the
writer certainly demonstrated to the
readers of that paper that he is q
jackass with ears projecting as promi-
nent as light house in the sea. He
has not only shown his skill at Bray
ing, which, of course, comes natural
for him, but also that he is q malicious
liar of the raukest kind His UTTER
ings are the same line of argument
always produced by the Tribune. If
anyone differs with that pxper, there
are no dirty tactics too low which
that paper would not employ. The
entire staff try to pose as great ire
formers" and pillars of the church
and then give an exhibition of their
piety and christian spirit by printing
all the dirty lies about their fellow.
men which happen to enter their brain
which Is so overloaded with those
reform (?) ideas that they congregate
on the streets with their left bauers
and even let what they term reform
ideas get away with them 80 far as to
make remarks to the effect that 1.-THE
county attorney ought to be hanged. -
This Is an exhibition of reform advo:
Gated by the Wi'lmar Tribune and
some OF its star followers, to hang q
lava biding official for trying to per-
form the duties of his Office. We
could give few more Of their ex-
hibitions of reform but do not care 70
stoop so low as to get down in their
class of argument. However, they
might fare much better by starting /
little reform movement right in theft
Own Office and among their own fol-
lowers and perhaps they might be
able to send their Office delegate down
to the cities to attend q Pop con-
vention and he be able to distinguish
it from an Indian war dance. Lot
them practice true and honorable
method of reform, cast off their plaster
paris countenance and look on the
bright side of life, cultivate at least a
little speck of manhood, lay aside
those low tactics, and they can accom-
plish more in the line of reform than
by running down their fellowmen and
printing malicious lies about them
and use every underhanded means in
trying to cause their DOWNFALL

The above is the reply to an editor
ial contained In the TRIBUNE two
weeks ago. AS a fair sample of the
argument used by b1ind-pig sympa-
thizers the above may possess some
interest. It requires no comment
