your paper, TO reply to a communication from
this city 10 the Iowa Democratic Enquirer pub

relates TO petitions forwarded to me by citizens
oil Scott and Muscatine counties asking that the
line between those two counties be so changed
as to give to Scott co. two Townships, now a
part Of Muscatine.
Now will take this occasion to assure the
Enquirer correspondent (who is no other than
Mr.. La Cossitt hlmself) and my very good friends
Muscatine generally, that always have and
do still believe Scott county the righ,iul owner
OF those two Townships, and that had not con
situtionaI barrier interposed, they would have
seen my bes, efforts made TO win them back
where they properly belong. The petitions We're
laid on the table, not from any disposition on my
part TO urge our ,.lains, but because Wuscaiine

tionally. Respectfully,

there is not an oiher opportunity for bridging
