Editor Graphic
Knowing Judge Gould's aversion to
mud singing and cheap political
tricks ] am not surprised that he
has made no answer to the article
appearing in the Press Eagle of re-
cent date, written presumably by It's
editor Mr.. Murray, but bearing the
ear-marks of Col. Sam Taylor, and
have dollars to wager against
doughnutts that if Col. Sam did not
white it he at least censored it before
it went to press. Let that be as it
may, Mr.. Murray has assumed its
authorship and these remarks will be
chiefly directed to him Mr.. Murray's
article is no surprise to Judge Gould
ipr his friends and attracts little
attention from the admirers of Col
Taylor The time has been when an
article from Mr. MurraY's pen would
have made quite AN impression and
carried some Influence With it. but
TO the sorrow OF his friends that day
has past
Mr.. Murray is a very wealthy man
and gentleman of leisure With moth
ing to do except collect the rents
from his numerous brick business
houses and write an editorial now
and then as the spirit moves. Per-
haps with a little more IT, or
a little less the editorsa .aferred
to above might have be y written
singing the praises of judge Gould
and the dement's of Col. Sam Taylor.
Mr. Murray, to the sorrow of his
friends, of which am one, is not the
same able writer as of yore.
Those of us who have read Mr.
Murray's articles with pleasure and
profit in the past can't help but no.
tice, with sorrow, the fragrant. COIL
tradiction appearing in his last eff
fusion, as no such things ever hap
pened before. Mr.. Murray states in
the body of his article that he does
not intend it as a critisium of Judge
Gould yet ends it with one of the
coarsest, most vulgar, insinuating
and coWardly criticisms that ever
flowed from the pen of any writer.
With charity to Mr.. Murray, however,
! will say he is correct in some of his
differences and remarks as regard
Col Taylor and Judge Gould. Judge
Gould is not a prompous, vain, glori-
Gus man, with his nose so high in air
that he could not at all times in all
places and under all circumstances
see or speak and extend helping
hand to any man, woman or child in
need, and yet his brilliancy of mind
attracts the attention OF lawyers,
bankers, merchants and men of let
tiers. He is not filled with bombast
and egotism, nor is he floWery ora
tor, but good, Woodworking busi-
ness man who has done things, and
has never ridden into popularity and
on the shoulders Of his
partners. Where would Col Taylor's
be if it wasn't for
the idol of the people, Bill Jones?
No, Mr. Murray, we have too many
men of Col. Taylor's and Chauncey
Depew's qualifications in our Ma
tional politics and at the head of
the different branches of our govern
ment and the people as whole al
most are crying out for change. We
10 not need any more actors but
workers. We're it hobnobbing with
royalty or wealth, making after
dinner speeches, or entertaining fore
gn potentates, or telling coarse and
vulgar jokes around hotel lobbies,
Judge Gould would feel and be out
Of place, but when it would come
% work in the committee room, where
all real labor of Congress is per-
'ormed, Judge Gould would be found
iiguratively speaking, with his
shoulder TO the wheel, deepest in the
rut in our national affairs, and at
the same time helping to lift our
much maligned and derided state to
the place where it belongs.
No sir, it is not actors but workers
we need!
Now, as to some of the cheap poll
tics Col. Taylor has been playing:
