no all whom il may or may not concern,
Il that there never was any partnership
subsisting between the subscriber and Chas.
B. X. Douglass, consequently no dissolution
could take place. The plain fact is this, on
the 18th of July, 1919. agreed to give said
Douglass salary in proportion to the profits
of the business that might be done. On the
list of January. 1921, sold out the entire
concern to said Douglass; since which time
have made no contract relating to the con-
Germ. and sincerely hope that Mr.. Doug
lass NAV be able TO fulfil his contracts 10 me,
as it will enable me to discharge my debts :,
am fully sensible that no person will
ask him to pay the debts contracted by1me,
so he may make himself perfectly easy about
being made answerabte for my debts.
In the mean time, | feel myself bound to
state that will not pay any debts contract
ed by hun. As to the assertion OF my keep
ing the books in my possession, and refusing
him access to them. il is not true; as he has
been frequently offered the only book which
he has any claim to; The rest Of my books
being filed with my own concerns, previous
TO the sale of the establishment. Had not
been compelled, in justice 10 myself, thus
TO come before the public, should not have
stated the above facts, but when man thus
makes an attack on me, as he did in yeter-
DAVIS Gazette, silence on my part would be
criminal, though am inclined to think he
has been badly advised. and has acted thus
more from want OF experience than from any
intention TO commit error.

be Joined by Ramirez as soon as he had
crossed the river, for the purpose of at

gone into the interior with a small force
8 ora weeks previous to watch the move

the position of Carrera, but was not
strong enough to attacS him.

puspose of naming fiotilla which was lit

The Republicans of Maine are requested 10
examine the foregoing statement of facts with a
view to ascertain if it discloses any evidence of
disposition on the part of the above gentlemen or
those with whom they were associated, TO oppose
the public sentiment in relation to a candidate
for Governor or to pursue any course unfayoura-
bic 70 free public discussion of the qualifications
OF those, who, through the channel of news
paper, might be presented for the suffrages OF
the people. If this statement be true how base
must be the fabrication in the last Argus, in
which Mr.. ToDD is made to remark, that . he
distinctly put the question, whether they should
require" the two columns to support their favour
tie in opposition 10 Candidate that should be
generally agreed upon and fairly nominated by
the Republicans Of the State. TIE e1piicit an
cas, that they should unless tie person schoal
then preferred should be agreed upon. The Ed
itor was given distinctly to understand, that
there was but one individual IN the State, whom
they would support, and that any other one
would" be opposed was thus peremPtorily
required to pledge two columns Of the paper in
support of knewnot whom, and in opposition TO
| knew not whom without any regard to pub
lie nomination or 20 public opinion"
Ii regard however TO Mr. TeDD, respecting
the foregoing prevarications and misrepresenta-
tons, we would rather indulge belief that his
name has been used merely 10 conceal from the
public eye tie maIgnity Of the real A1thcr.
