A DoDaER, PURE AND SIMPLE.

The Hartford Republican is much
more proficient at lodging question
than it is in answering a straightly
put proved accusation. In replying to
The Heralds exposure of its act in
classifying a little paragraph contain
ed in our editorial columns a few
weeks ago and crediting to us words
which we never uttered land We
proved iD, it simply copies a col
umn of extracts from The Herald
covering the years since Governor
Goebel was assassinated, and in which
we commented on this dastardly deed.
This it offers as its sole and only
proof or foundation for its remark
that The Herald "In its late issue
strains to convince Ohio county Re-
publicans that it never said anything
but loving words about Taylor and
Powers"
Such consummate evasion, such mis-
cradle lodging, is pitiable.
We are sincerely glad that the Re-
publican publishes these extracts from
The Herald about the Goebel assassi-
nation. They will serve to enlighten
some of it's readers along a line Of
thought concerning this foul crime, to
which they are not accustomed by
reading that biased and partisan
sheet, which apparently excuses assas-
sination upon the idea Of party 10y
atty. This is a very opportune time
for these facts to be re-committed to
the memory of liberty-loving, crime
hating and lawabiding people, They
will again be reminded Of what the
Hartford Republican stands for, by its
derisive comment upon what we said
about Mr. Goebers cowardly murder.
We have not a word to take back in
our denunciation of this Infamous
crime and those connected with 1t,
even in the remotest degree. We do
not believe there is fair-minded Re-
publican in Kentucky who will ac-
cuse us of being unfair in this re-
gard. Outside of the politicians and
the partisan newspapers, the great
majority of Republicans everywhere
condemn Mr.. Goebel's assassination as
an unspeal1able crime. 1t remains for
the Hartford Republican and sheets
of its ilk to uphold and defend the
parties accused and convicted of par
ticipation in this awful deed
In the meantime the Hartford Re-
publican still stands self-convicted of
bold Justification, in imputing to The
Herald words which it never uttered.
