Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1858-10-16


Bracket, of Taflon, informed me the other
day that he had TO make three journeys to
Lancaster, last February and March, to pay
taxes on lands, on account OF the absence
of the books. In fact, the books in the
rrrasurers Office, and in his own hand
writing, conclusively prove the truth Of my
statement. The date OF the delinquent
land-list, as published in the Hen Id, over
the Treasurer's office, is March 5th, 1858.
The Treasurer. of Wyalnsipg, returned bis i!
book and swore to his return on the same
day, March 9th; the book from. Mus s,oela,
was returned and sworn to March eighth,
three Days after the delinquent list ,oas
placed IN the hands of the printer. The
books from several other towns were re-
turned and sworn to, the first days of March
ard the last days Of February. These are
the facts--let the public decide to whom
the choice epithets, "Hdr and ealamnia-
tor" properly apply. | am glad to learn
that both parties have nominated pleasant,
gentemanly men for Treasurer, so that
whichever is elected, he will not be likely
to quarrel with, and abuse nearly every
man hat has occasion to transact business
at tina, office. FRANK BARR.
LANCASTER, Oct. IL, 1888.
REMARKs-With the quarrel between
Mr.. BARR and Mr.. LEWIS, we have nothing
to do-shough Mr.. BARR has tried from
the first TO mix us in. Even in the above
communication, which differs wholly from
The one presented before, he tries to wiring
us in We said thai the charge Of our re-
fosing to publish BARK's reply to LEWIS

ale, shows that the charge against lis is
untrue; his pretended belief that "pu6ltsh-

we have reason to doubt, and We don t

lish rejoinder to LEWIS charge. He
might have known that we would object
to coupling with his rejoinder base as
sault upon ourself If the miller agrees te
grind a grist Of wheat, the agreement is
not to grind Herewith potatoes and on
ions! In the same way, he might have as
sailed every other man and because we Oh
jected TO publish it, he might have told
falsely that we refused him hearing
We admitted Mr. LEWIS card because b,

editor would ADM, the like; we not onl,
offered to publish but solicited the reply o
Mr. BARR for publication, in the hearing
lof Mr.. LOWRY, his first agent, and after
wards, also of Mr.. MEYER, BAERs SECOND
iagent. We did object to the paragraph
basely abiding to ourself, unless BARE
came in person. that we might tell hin
face to face what our reply should be. w

notice of us is ali colored string of ip
>inuations-of his usilal sly g, and without
a like among men. Fearing TO assert bold
lily, he resorts to insinuation; inSinuatior
failing, he flies TO bubbles, and from"quib-
bles to sophisms from sophis,,s. the only
refuge is matlimony, where his ill-nature
must improve--to grew worse is impossi-
