Newark Journal.)

The newspaper man never
lived who was not occasionally
made the object Of criticism, or
who did not have mean things
said about him. He is often
derisively referred to as "the
squirrel head" "the NUT" and
other pet names equally un-
pleasant. He becomes accustomed
to this, however, and cares nor
thinks nothing about it. But, SO
far as The Journal is concerned,
the limit has been reached. Our
"dander is up" and there's
"blood in our eye." We are on
the warpath, and if you don't
get The Journal next week you
may know there is a battle on and
you need not be surprised to see
a shower of human gore and a
few shattered bones strike the
earth. The Pocahontas Star
Herald accuses us of being a
brother-in law to Claude Coger,
Of the Sharp County Record.
Now, that's absolutely the limit.
We can stand to be called most
any old thing, but when it comes
to being accused Of being kin to
Claude Coger-welI, we draw the
line on that, and there's going to
be somethin' doin' if the Star
Herald don't "take it back" and
apologize.

A number Of prominent Demo-
Gratis in Tennessee held a meot-

that this section were asserting
her rights in the party. True
