Entertaining the belief that the recent
communication published by you and
written by Mr.. Kellogg, is the embodi-I
ment of the sentiments Of those opposed
to the county loan, desire to occupy a
brief space in making reply to some of
the assertions which it contains in refer
ence TO that subject.
In the first place, however. permit NE

mercial standing and business integrity.

the more extraordinary when it is taken
into consideration that hardly eight weeks
have transpired since Mr.. Kellogg and his
associates at public meeting of those OPP

to prevent. any ctizenfrom Kenosha from
being heard upon the other side of the
question. Vi 1885

unto them" and which he wishes every
one to live up to but himself he finds it
quite in accordance with his feelings to
violate and overlook upon all necessary
occasions. With some these golden ruies
are convenient garments to be put on or
thrown off as the exigencies Of various
circumstances demand.

the window, aud atterthat the citizens OF
that city had asked him to print a hand
bill and stick upon his gate post, and also
to scatter few thousand copies through
the land, in which it was printed and sta
