The Citizen Again

Summary

An ongoing dispute between the Examiner and the Citizen newspapers over the Examiner's attacks on "the best men in the state." The Examiner had criticized the close association between the Citizen's editor and former Governor Lowe, a known Southern sympathizer and the Citizen responds "like a caged hyena" attacked with a hot poker. The Citizen apparently feels that "the best men in the state" are those who have been denied voting rights because of their Southern sympathies.
