to be the hypothesis that the Herald
goes on to make out case of neglect
or carelessness against the Journal
Miner office in the matter of printing
the great Register for the city.
1t published an infamous, malicious
and contemplate lie in reference to
the matter on Wednesday and repeated
it again on Thursday with some more
infamous falsehoods as garnishments
to it, of which the following are sam
pies:
This afternoon the copy for the
city register as it was returned to City
Clerk Cartier was carefully gone over,
and in one place alone seven pages of
it were missing.
The only means of determining
whether or not certain names left off
the register are due to the fault of
city officials or that of the printer
rests on this copy.
Part Of it being missing makes it
difficult matter to fix the blame pos
itively, and allows the printers loop
hole out of which to crawl from try
ing position. -
/ Instead of the copy being returned
Oh Thursday morning it was returned
on Tuesday afternoon, Of the day of
election \ printer in the Journal
Miner Office permitted it to be taken
out inadvertently as it is a rule of
printing offices to retain such copy in
their protection just 10 guard against
any Misrepresentation.
In this case Mr.. Cartier said it was
the only copy he had, that instead Of
/ preparing a duplicate copy he had
given the printers the original.
The Herald also quotes Mr.. Cartier
as saying:
- know that some names we're left
I off the register by the printers, " said
City Clerk Cartier this afternoon. at
/ is also true that some names of people
who thought they had registered never
reached the Office of the city clerk.
Il cannot tell now just who was left
off and who was placed on, because
some of the parts Of the copy We turn
ed over to the printers are missing. -
Just at the present time the Journal
I Miner has nothing worse to say about
Mr.. Cartier than that he, not being
infallible is very likely to be mistak-
en-.
The copy has been out of this office
now for nearly three days during
which time a reporter of the Hetald
has had access to it and has had every
opportunity to doctor it up in order
to make case against the Journal
Miner but even with the inclination
he has shown and the ability he may
4 possess to do this the Journal Miner
is willing to wager any amount that
every name that was furnished the
printer was placed on the register Just
as it appeared in the copy barring
possibly a few errors of spelling as in
some instances the chirography was so
poor that it was difficult to determine
the exact and correct name.
The names we're numbered with an
automatic numbering machine, and
if one page, even we're omitted the
printed numbers must of necessity be
missing and will show for themselves
on the register as printed. Seven
pages of copy left out would make a
break in the numbers of from forty to
fifty names. Will the Herald OF Mr..
Cartier go over the register and show
where these omissions occur.
The Journal Miner has demanded an
Investigation of the malicious charges
preferred against it by the Herald and
apparently approved by their clerk, if
4 Mr.. Cartier is correctly quoted and
is willing to let the register and the
copy speak for itself
In the meantime if any has any
doubt that the Herald is guilty of lie
ing in this matter they can check the
register up in very few minutes and
demonstrate it themselves. As stated
already the numbers run consecutive
/ ~. There are eighty names on each
full page of the register. On pages
where initial letters occur deduct two
lines or names for each initial letter
For instance the first page contains
two initial letters, a and B, hence
only contains seventy names. By
checking up in this simple manner.
any omissions, of numbers can easily
be detected, the total number OF
names being I, 452.
That the copy was cut up IN the
office is correct and every printer
knows that this is done in every
office, but the omission of single
name would have been detected in
