ACARp FROM GEN. SHIELDS.

NAsHINGToN, go. 20, 1919.
Ii is with much reluctance ] feel com
PEELED to o6truGe on the notice Of the public
statement explanatory at private letter
addressed by me, few days age, 10 the Hon.
SidMry Brcese, and published by him, with
comments, IN the lntelliceucer of this day.
The facts are these: Mr.. Breese has been
Tor many months Engaged indu>triuusly in
disseminating the most injurious reports
concerning me, the osteusible motive being
that my friends had brought me forward aS
his competitor for election Tor the Senate Of
the C.ltCd States. ! had been ever since
my visit to this city last summer, eocnizaut
OF his efforts, unCeasinG, uurcmit,ir.. and
reckless, 10 blastmy character aud rob me u
the only wealth TO which can lay claim
a reputation, thank God, without a blot.
Immediately on my arrival here lwrote him
the letter he la, published. accusing him of
his hseuess. That lttterwritten under the
influence Of no ordinary emotions. was
cou1hed in language which under ordinary
circumstances would not haveused; and,
upon reflection, sud by the aivlce Of my
friends, AUTHORIZED two honorable Senators
formally to withdraw it.--Mr. Breese de-
cliued to yield it ur, and the use he has
made ct it shows by what motive he was
actuated.
That portion Of my letter which he has
distorted into threat nf assassination, shall
briefly notice. The means he used 10 pre-
vent my elcc ton were of such nature that
the competition between Is became per.
>Unal Struggle, and, as his triumph would
have been an endorsement of hi, calumnirS,
my character and position were inv olved in
the issue. determined, therefore, as in.
iimatrd in my letter, TO render such tri.
umph unavailing by a thorough exposure
OF his character and couduct, thus turning
into a moral pllory the position of Senator
Of the United States, which he would have
acquired by the viest misrePresentation.-i
The Interpretation he has put upon this
;hreat-that is, that have avowed to as.
sassinate him--is so absurd that II would
be equally preposter, us on my part seri-
ousy 20 repudiate such meaning. That
any sane man can believe i would have
assassinaied Mr.. Breeze, have no sppre.
hen,ion. That Mr.. Breeze himself ever
dreamed Of sush thing, is totally impos.
sibp.
For the controversy in which Mr.. Breese
would involve me on other matters, have

ted, except as in the case ofthe above state.
ment, for self defence. liz thrustiug my per-
sonal concerns on the notice of the public
besides that. the course Mr.. Breese has
pursued IN relation TO my letter disentitles
him 20 that consideration which might in.
duce me under otheraircums'auc-s to re.
ply TO his remarks. JAMES SHIELDS.
