things are denied by the Editor simply because ne

4 The Editor of the Courier and Enquirer does not
deny that in September lc42 he gloned IN his enmliy
TO Mr. Webster and boosted Of il in public and private
TO such degree that il was supposed by Mr. Websers
friends that time TINT he would refuse 10 meet That
great statesman with the courtesy Of gentleman anc
even to III at the same dinnertable with him.
3 The Editor the Courier finds II impossible to reiIte
the writers statements the history the Ward reso
buttons and their unanimous deliberate approval by the
Wings OF the City both in the local and general Meetings
He silently conesses that his insulting application 10 Mr.
Webster OF the imputation OF open and avowed en-
nifty 10 Henry CLAY" was resented and his nomination
by The Courier spurned by the Webserpapers and mat
il was wholly unsanctoncd by Mr. Webster himself VINO
IN December ls43 in ihs city derited the nomination OF
Mr. Clay. and declared the expectation OF his election
perfectly absurd
away in cowardly and dsraceful silence from his lying
assertion that the writer of The Mystery" paid by
a Committee TO produce that work. Convicted OF viii
full deliberate iasehood he is content to wall til his dis
honorable fiction shall be forgotten by the public or
crowded out of notice by outrage on his part
These grave and specific charges and other points
Of the controversy, being now clearly established be-
yond contradiction. will serve as basis Tor the conn
dcnce of the public while the remaining essential facts
are re.siated and confirmed. These other charges
though apparently denied by the Courier in the general
are We, by distinct specific contradiction The
Editor deny the fact that his paper changed iis
course towards Mr. Webster and suddenly ceased TO
abuse him after the beginning of September. lag lie
dare deny that he privately stated the reason OF h- TO
bc-Nor that his private opinions otAr Webster mad
changed but that be must AVOID offence to ceTalncnds
of ir Webster who had been good friends 10 him, the
Editor He kaous that he did attempt TO prevent others
from expressing against Mr. Webster opinions precisely
accordant with those which be had uttered IN MS own
paper two months before.
An tina, the Editor of the Courier oppears 10 deny
il the statement that he obtained large pecu
MARY accommodations from Of the friends OF Nh
Webster" md this he only dypeGrs % deny for his
apparent contradiction IL but mere evasion Of the
charge and O pa,Ty. equ.vocaiion. He says he ere
sumed business in his own name in May 1873 not IN De
tOber 1912 aud did So On Nan without borrowing
Din Man one dollar or receiving aid the Of
one penny from the friends OF Mr.. Webster. A mere
county court attorneys bubble about the meaning Of
the expression to enable him TO resume business in his
own name e. Does the Editor suppose the writer 60
ignorant of the facts simple as TO be caught by
such shuttle, that the public can be imposed upon
by in
The charge rca'cd IT, that before the latter part Of
the month OF October 1872 the Editor Of the Courier
and ENQUIRER obtained large pccuniary Gccommoda-
lions from the wealthy friends OF Mr. Webster 10 enable
him 10 business in his own name, that is. the
Il. .lt.hts
under his as proprietor, not as mere salared
Editor hired by the young man VINO was then declared
10 be the real BY resuning business in his own
name meant getting the paper into his own hands
again" or getting the control OF it, which were more
nearly his expressions when speaking of making
for that purpose IN the beginning OF sep
TENDER 1872 He declared himself 10 be then making
ARRANGEMENTS for thai purpose, the only arrangement
being as 10 the price he should pay and where he should
yet the money In October he said that he had made
his arrangcmcrs not that he had resumed business IN
his own name; and the writer never sad that the
Editor did resume business in October. and neither
knew nor cared what the precise month or dag
which he did resume business. though he could have
ascertsned the date in twenty minutes if it had been
important The writer declared and now declares that
IN October -i2 the Editor OF the Courier and Enquirer
had Obtained large pccunaiy accommodations ron the
friends of Mr. Webster 10 enable huq 10 resume his bust
ness in his own name" The writer did not say thai the
Editor borrowed one dollar OF them received aid
the amount OF one penny The expression delibc-
rately selected and used Wa pecuniary accommoda-
lions. without the pieteLce OF specifying loan OF
direct transfer OF money from their hands 10 his Does
the Edicr wish the writer 10 give the public eabo-
rate detailed history of the various assignments and
irns of transfer through which the Courier and In.
ouirer passed from 1851 10 lsi3 Does hc ask him 10
show in what precise shape the "pccunary accommo-
latousr were furnished whether by credits securi-
Ties by endorsements by formal sales, by secret
.ps or by free gifts OF money in direct return for sup
posed scrvces The particulars are necessary and
would be tedious and the writer (as the Editor of the
Courier well knows has studiousy iOrborne the pub
calon OF the personal details OF private business trans
actions in every instance where they We're not abso
u,.y neces sary in reply II full and open statement
Of all the matters known to him affecting the business
private character and conduct Of the Editor OF the
Courier should be required by tina, person the position
and pro;rieiy of things would be somewhataliercd.
What the Editor OF the Courier now asks the public
70 believe s-Irsf That his sudden mysterious change
Of course towards Mr. Webster and his conversion from
abuse of his conduct the advocacy Of his pretension
were entirely 9raiHOHs II II Is So II Is the only in
stance which such conduct his part was supposed
10 be without bride purchase. Second That though In
the beginning Sepie mher -42 and for previous
he cared nothing for feelings Of those oi his personal
friends and patrons who devoted 70 Mr. Webster
and though he then abused Mr. Webster most ouiy foT
the best and approved acts Of HI public life yet
was perfectly natural that two months later he should
hayc grown morhdy tender respecting the feelings OF
