MnssHs. EDIroHs:--I desm only few
words necessary % . reply 70 the attack
made upon my communication .in your last
number. To HIRAM A. REID. BY whom the
attack was written, have nothing to say.

author to relieve myself from the sspersions
Of his srticls. l indulge the hope that the
other two young "msssIws," having now
"sssn thsmsslvss in print" At my expense,
will remain satisfied with their lsursls.
Opposition to . plain and honest paper
which was in itself Sri~s Jsee evidence Of
an integrity Of design IN the writer, BY gross
personalities and psrvsrsions, BY lodging
Of the real issue, and By no contra state

At msssing Of The association last night

appearances would lend fresh and vigorous
impulse 70 The society. BY melting an inter-
est 10 iss a1hirs. The paper was regarded
% being true In oil IL details. 1t was only
asgsd that It was impelitsc to make known
the internal economy Of the society to the
public. It appeared that these "membsrs'
had not the tsmssity to oppose my stsismsnt
N incorrect. Az 10 contradiction by re.
ference to the treasurer's books. the trea'
surer gives me liberty to say that my state
msnts are fully correct.
In spite Of the ungensrous attack alluded
