letter denying thai the Report OF The 1o.1'
Committee Of the Legislature proved nm
ho,ravsr. The editor OF the Iowa s'sy
Republican. to whom this let'ef VS. -
areseed. made reply. The Democss. cuts
OF the Grst paragraph Of this reply. where
in the editor. with frxnkness and candof
which he may yainly hope TO ever zee ''ai'
,ated by bis opponents, admiis has error so
far a. The Report is concerned, a. follows
We have examined the Report, and lind
The fsc,s "a stated BY Mr.. Tomhnson. We
40 not x;sh to do him injustice, and there.
fore give place, promptly 10 his e1Piana-
ton; the more promptly, because inc g.
oucs, is made in a manner % unlike iaas
adopted On Saturday last.
Now notice the dodge of cur venerable
ueirhbor. The question was whether mr.
Tomanson Borrowed this money. Ne lodges
by bringing in the Report, which sa'd ne
did NOT barrow simply because ne could mol
rive security. The Democrat enjoys
ladce n his behalf on The same ground
Now whs did not our honest neiGhbof gre
the whole Of the Republicans article ~
.,e.d Of the one paragraph We copy aoose'
s,maly because what followed proved oy

only did he lend Tomlinson certain

a-neS the ptin.ing Office himself. II the
Democr,, really thought we had published
. f.l.ehood as it charged, why did it not
publish the whole article 20 that the Puo'le
onuld Judge for themselves whether We had
been guilty Of such conduct The Demo
err, i .ineularIy unfortunate IN its attempts
90 prove us guilty Of deliberate tslsshoods,
II. editors ksou, that while We in common
with humanity generally are liable to
ar, that privately and publicly We scorn
IL. ut,erance and the utterer Of fsise'
hood Now here are the remarks Of the
Renuhlioan Which Immediately followed
the paragraph extracted By the Democrat,
W. do not know bu, the neglect OF the
oar, OF cur neieheor to give the .eao.s tFu'h
IN thi. case, 10 really as criminal a. TO state
. wilful un,ruth II is esrisialy exhibaung
determined disposition to eoHesai Inc
ruth. and thus to grossly deceive isresder'.
The RspubiissA says
II in doe 10 truth, however, thst We shoaid
ada word or tive, and probe this matter
Ii,,ie further. We are informed that Dr.
Esa. testified before the investigating
C.urnlttee, appointed during the present
ses,ion. tha, he had loaned Mr.. Fominson
$4,000. When pressed further he said
,ha, his only security was mortgage on
Printing establishment owned by SAID
Tomlinson: and in the progress oil ,hs IN,
yes,,ration he admitted that be ownea sand
Office kiHsstf, How 10 this, M. Iohhn-
SOM Let Us get al The whole truth
There i seeming conflict between your
osn and the statements Of the Dr. which
i, i not chr business to correct. The mrs,
statement ~ 10 The loan Of $4,000 vas
made ty the DR.. The last rests upon The
ssms foundation. No injustice shall De
done 10 you Through our columns sai We
mean 70 get q, the truth, if possible
