Letters to the Editor.
The letters which we publish this week require no comment from us, further than to state that it is any gentleman's privilege to establish a Radical paper, who please to do so; but it would look better for others, than Democrats on our county ticket, to inaugurate the enterprise.
The following mournful paragraphs from the Noble County Republican, of the 30th ult., are significant:
"Harmony or defeat. These are the Republican alternatives this fall."
"Defeat this fall is the ruin of our party in Noble. Will you suffer it, knowing that it may be avoided."
There is no "harmony" in your party in Noble, consequently "defeat" of your Ring ticket is certain.
Yes, the people of Noble will "suffer it." They are tired of being dictated to by six or eight wire workers at Caldwell.
Pack up for Salt River and be ready to take passages with Hayes, Lee & Co.
