The editor of the Democrat saws we charge !

The editor Ofthe Democrat says we charge
him with falsehood for saying the Democrats
gained victory in Minnesota last election
Not so! But We can in few words tell YOU
what we really did. We showed that you de-
clared yourself liar, when you last week de-
MED all you wrote in October and November.
With the point Of veracity at issue between d.
a. Robertson of October and NoYember, and
D. A. Robertson of January, We have nothing
to do. You two gentlemen must settle that
between yourselves. 1t is evident there is a
lie out between you; and if We were called
upon to give our testimony as to where it rests,
we think the latter gentleman would have to
shoulder it. But this is no affair of ours. We
stated distinctly, in so many words, that we
did not pretend to decide upon which occasion
the truth was told.
The Democrat long since backed out of its
charge, that Gov Ramsey made speculation
by exchanging gold for good bank paper: but
this week the editor is guilty of copying, and
tacitly endorsing the same charge from the st.
Louis Union. Not yet appearing to be the ia
Their of enough lies of his own to suit his ST.
tanic taste, he is now running about and finding
those of other people, and making them broth
ers of his own family of imps.
The Democrat says Mr. Truax was sat last
bcdeviled into voting for DR.. Day." Mr.. Tru-
AK is an honest old farmer, who has lived all
his life Wing and raised some six or eight de-

lie life and upon his arrival in ST. Paul fell
into the hands of the Philistines-thc miniOns
of the Minnesota Democrat, who imposed upon
his honest mind all manner of falsehoods and
Misrepresentation. But as soon as matters
were properly explained to him, he saw through
the knavish plot which had been laid to cntrap
him, and righted himself instanter

From the Ohio Statesman of Nov. II
Board of Equalization.

When we entered this assembly. this
morning. Mr.. KING. of Butler, was discus
cling the question of reducing the valuation
in Butler.
In Butler county there are acres $685.
1911; valuation $1O,783.939. Average val
uation of land per acre $36 go. Valua-
ZION Of buildings $l,198. 816; total valua-
lion oflands including buildings $780,
1855; average valuation per acre including
buildings Sal 90. Total valuation OF lots
and buildings 81 .981.785. Ne, increase
Of valuation since 1916, 1886 .451.
Mr.. KING proposed a reduction Of val.
uation Of Zen per cent on the land in But
Ter. He said that Warren, which he also
represented, should be raised ten per cent.
In Warren, the average valuation of
land per acre, including buildings is
e3f,fO.
Mr.. KING, on. taking his seat, moved to
reduce Butler 10 per cent.
Some gentleman inquired whether he
would move TO add also 10 per cent to
Warren. He smilingly replied that he
would rather not make that notion
Ii is understood that the Board is not
definitely fixing the valuation in their pres

The members Of the Board seem TO be
men Of solid sense and deliberation. Such
"a body Of men are an honor to Ohio.
The popular discretion has been we'll ex-
ercised in their choice of these agents Tor
this very delicate and responsible duty.
When we left Judge WATERS, of Allen
county, was controyerting the statements
Of Mr.. KING, as to Butler.
We called in again on the Board Of
: Equalization and found them busily dis
GUESSING the valuation of Clarke county.
The member of Clarke Mr.. BARoN) is
satisfied with the county board valuation
OF $25 OF per acre.
Mr.. RuNKLE. Of Logan, was discussing
the merits Of Clarke when we went in.
Mr.. WEsrLAKE, Of Miami, followed him,
Nj. McCLUaE, Of Dayton. MIR. Dickson,
Of Columbiana, and Mr.. KING, Of Butler,
engaged in the debate.
On yesterday the Board deducted five
rer cent. from the Butler valuation.
The counties will be disposed Of in al

There is very little speaking for "bun-
