The Republican has dared to supplant

as an advanislng medium. Once for
all We desire to state that the Lattor

both of the editors of this paper and
by two Members of :lha mechanical

whom state that it WAS puintad Nrba-

not directly dispute THE l-rter, it is
not UP to us to FURNISH amy further
proof.
The Herald Ignorant and bllndly
prejndiced, makes a serious charge
against the editors of this Republican,
