to have them in readiness that evening. I I
did so, and then the board took further
time and at last decided that Daily should /
not answer to the charges. Mr. Enquirer,
Why is this? Why not have them sworn !
and decide as they did on the other charges,
that they were not sustained? 1t would .
have been no longer nor stronger stretch on I
their conscience, and Daily could as easily
have been "white washed" as he has been.
The Editor of the Enquirer or his con- |
tributor lies when he states that used
every means to obtain evidence "eyen to
bribery" No eUideace is on tile, nor can
dny be produced, TO SaStain tie Jdtsehood. 1t
is on file that Daily used means, both by let
ter and word, begging like spaniel to sup
press evidence. The truth Of this assertion
can be proved IN your oacn city, and in
Terre Haute. Wilkins swore that DR..
Thomas had offered him, in my name,
= two hundred and fifty dollars to publish
the article signed, Justice" Dr.. S. N.
Thomas testified that he never did this, and
that James Wilkins was intoxicated at the
time referred to, and acknowledged that he
had to use it freely. DR.. Thomas thought
that he had used it Uery freely. He further
says that those women were netintroduced
as virtuous females, but were set down in his
complaint as LEVIED women" This is
downright lie, as the record shows-the
complaint Is on file. Now, in his staney !"
editorial, he introduces my words, and tries
to convey the idea that | cufed, co,ced, and
kicked Daily, because he insulted Alkaline
Richie, and DIZZY Rudicil, which is false.
1t is because / know that two other ladies,
whose names 1 suppress, received gross in
suits, as you will see by the communication
wrote for the Lafayette Journal. Why
is it, "Stoney," that all these attempts OF
Daily as charged in my specifications and
now on file, came on about the same time,
and in the absence of Daily's wife 1t is
singular coincidence.
1t is not true that "did not even pri-
vately resent itHnGl five months after he (I)
knew the insult to have been made" He,
Daily and Lady, came to my house in
few days, and had, sir, to leave in double
quick time,-he had al that time the pro-
lection of his wife-and Daily was duly
warned by his friends to avoid me and he
did so as long as he could, taking shelter at
one time in the Bloomington Bank, where
he would kaye remained, doubtless to this
day, had | continued so long at the door !;
at another in private house where he had
no earthly business but to elude my pur-
suits, and often seeking the escort and pro-
lection of ladies. ] caught him. however,
at last and treated him with most degrading
indignity and insult. This he took with
unresisting submission, and then asked to
continue our friendship, or at least a mu-
tual recognition in public. The editor of
the Enquirer, or Peter Stone" talking
through him-says "9Iurphy went to
New Albany a short time before the trial
and tried to induce public prostitute to GO
To the trial and that Daily ba n
made criminal proposals to her and all
this appeared on trial at the investigation
of the Board of Trustees This is the
father of all his lies, and is wholly
sustained by the evidence. This shows
neither bribery nor attempt at bribery
on my part. l had heard that Maria
Mcbride ("alias Poney,") had received 9
letter from VIM. NJ. Daily, inviting her tc
his room and that she had shown it to 8
lady where she was then acting as cook

Albany in company with Mr.. Wade, Drug.

from DR.. Daily, and there the matter ended
But she had received a letter from ". +
Stone (alias Peter) to come to his room al
ten o'clock that night, and | am informed
that she went. And now l challenge you
sir, or your rocky contributor to prove that

tainly would show the "scaly proportion
of Beelzebub" Daily had this prostitut
{" Poney,") brought to the trial, and Pile
every means in his power to influence her
aided by men as wicked and contempt ibl
as himself, who did not hesitate to swea
"regardless of God add fearless of man.
Yet, in despite of ALL "Poney" refused t
swear that | offered her bride. She hat
more regard for truth than to swear wha
you have asserted. This same woman wa
taken to the WorLey House, and made an equa
of by Daily and his wife-eating with then
and her''other friends at the same table. More
over, rumor says that dinner party wa
given "Poney," and few other selec
nags, by noe of Daily's friends. But it wa
"no go;" she did not testify so as to satisf
their malice, and she was turned loose t
Craze where she could.
In the last five years we have frequent
seen the enlightened governed by the ignor
ant, whose arrogance of tone and vulgarit
of manners inspired more disgust than eve
the shallowness of their intellects. We ma
even forget the dislike Justly inspired by I'll
immortality of man, if the nobleness of h
language lulls US into an illusion as to Il
purity of his mind. But it is impossible
endure that vulgarity Of education whic
betrays itself in every expression, every gre
ture, in the tone of the voice, the attitud
in short all the involuntary marks of Il
general habits of life.
But, prythee, who art thou that fghtest
valliantly the battles of the mighty Zapt
nath-pa-a-ne-ah! Is that you Peter?"
you are the parsonage take you to be, thc
paragon of truth and valor, why did you n
defend your own offspring? Why did you ST.
the bantling to go unrevenged? althous
it fell still-born after a painful and laborio
delivery. Yet you should have shown
fatherly protection to the wee thing, rott'
though it was full of low slang. What
fence did you make when pushed off of t
sidewalk because you were so unfortuna
as to be the father of the startling whit
was published in the Adgocats here? VIII
defence did you make when you were to
to your face that it was intended as an i
suit? You, like whining school boy, sal
just do that are thing again and you
see"
You say, Daily has climbed higher TIL

shame should, like other distinguished pc
sonages, pay a tax for being eminent NJ
