It is a wonder to many who hare
heard the report that the two politicians
who have been roasted by the Hkkald I
on just grounds, can start a daily fpaper I
in ins city ana mane it win, as tney are
trying to make people believe. How
can they do it? It requires money,
energy and a little self-esteem - to work
up a subscription, run a paper and make
it pay. No person who will take either
or both sides on any question which may
arise and back down on whichj ever side
he finds the most convenient and slippery
can prosper in the work he has un
dertaken. Not a word has ever appeared
in the Herald for the purpose of throw
ing a suaaow on tne character ot any
V 1 . . m
man in nn unjust way, but when it be
comes the duty of the press to make an
exposure of dishonesty, the Herald will
not fall in the rear in coming to tbe
front with a true statement. Such is the
oflice any paper s-hould fill and unless
partiality is done away with when duty
faces it, such a paper cannot possibly
le of any benefit to the city in which it
is published. The few who shed tears
and became wroth at times because the I
truth is chronicled are the first men who
nip the men who do not coincide with
their views and are the first people to
write them up when an opportunity pre- J
sents itself. We will make no a nolo vies I
i or any statements puuusneu tnat we
have good proof are true. Should the
f a - . a
two canvassers succeed iu their efforts,
the Herald will welcome such a journal.
Mr. J. A. McMurpby.formly proprieter
of the Herald, who has been visiting his
numerous freinds in this city for the past
