Devils Lake Journal: our goos
friend, Walter Taylor. whose nam,
appears as editor Of the Valley Cit,
Times Record. and whom we win pre-,
sumo now writes the editorials which
occasionally appear i'm that paper.
rev days ago made use az the follow.
ing sentence In an article which evi.
gently was prepared after considerable
deep thought and meditation;
40 ls also notorious. that the MOST
vicious and vulgar assaults being made
upon Messrs. Grcnna and Marshall
originals in the columns OF the Dew
lis Lake. Journal and WiIIlston state,
both democratic papers"
There Ia where Walter goes OF
wrong again. The kind Of assaults
Walter describes have never origin
ated IN the columns Of The Journal,
and while we have been q careful
reader Of Colonel Whitehead's very es-
Unable paper, The Wililston state we
have never seen anything in 1t with
reference to the celebrated cold Dust
Twins which by any manner be means
could be termed vicious and certainly
not vulgar" 1t is true that some rath-
er sharp criticisms of Marshall and
Gronna, collectively and individually
have appeared In The Journal also in
The State, but bless you, Walter. they
were copied from good reliable repub-
lican newspapers. the editors of which
seemed to be well versed with the
subject or subjects under discussion.
Take for instance the newspapers nub-
hshed in Mr.. Gronna's own county OF
Nelson: there are seven papers pub
llshed in the county, and of this nup-
Der. but two-and Mr. Gronna PERSONAL
ly owns both Of these-raise their
feeble voices In his behalf. All the
others oppose him. and some or them
speak In tone of voice which can
easily be heard as far away as Wash
lngton, d. 9. And they do say that
when Mr. Gronrla hears the voice of
the press from his own county he is
oftentimes thrown into deep study
that sort Of deep study 1t is not well
Tor any one to disturb In fact 1t is
hard to pick up newspaper in the
state which Mr.. Gronna or Mr.. Mar
shall does not own outright or have
chattel mortgage on. which does not
one or the other or both. and
some OF them may be called vicious.

Tulgarly plain But because these
naughty republican newspapers do
.hese things is no fault or The Dew
Is Lake Journal or The Waliston State. |
All that The Journal has ever said
II Mr.. Gronna or Mr.. Marshall. or
10Th, has first been said by republicans

veil. Anyway, the first information
anne from republicans, and with our
riend Walter that should be sufficient.
or has it not been written-some- /
Vhere-that all republicans are truth-
ul or is IL liars. The Journal meewly
that 1t Is a little sixeptical
\ receiving statements of a political
haracter from republicans at par. but
here is a reason for that; the repub-
can party has been lying to the peo-
lie Of this nation for thirty years. and
That may appear TO be a political lie
4 the eyes of democrat should he
ccepted as gospel truth by a repub-
can.
