1397 - L Oct. 14:2/2 - The PLAIN DEALER tells of the retirement of
John J. Jacobs, manager of the Ashland UNION, and "wishes success to
J. W. McCord, B. F. Nelson and J. M. Landis, successors to Jacobs. The . .
UNION has had the reputation of being the most outspoken advocate of
treason and the most violent, abusive and obscene in political discus-
sions, among papers of southern Ohio.
"We had hoped that a change of administration might result in im-
provement in these respects. Our expectations were not met however
judging from quotations from the first issue published under the auspices
of these gentlemen of 'sound Democratic principles' as the PLAIN DEALER
sees fit to call them. Lying, misquoting, abuse of soldiers, blasphemy,
and obscenity, then, are the 'sound Democratic Principles' of the Plain
Dealer." (17)
