My Son CHARLEy:--Since wrote to you
the other day l have been reading and
thinking, and have been much concern
ed about you for fear you would be dis
heartened. So thought | would write to
you again. 1t may do you as much good
as it does the boy to whistle as he goes
through the graveyard to keep the hobgob-
Inns away. That Black Republican paper
printed in Plymouth. prints some horrible
stories about you Now, do not believe
that Big Dich" man has had such quar-
rel with his wife as he tells of, and about
which he pretends to want your advice
Now do not believe the story any more
than man did way down the country, a
bout whom, very often, curious stories were
told concerning his conduct among the wo-
men. After awhile the youngsters, orrath-
err some old boys, not .Oaldbucks, ;" got up
a story about another man. Well, said he,
l rather believe it, for they used to tell such
stories about me, and what yexed me the
most was always knew there was some
thing to make it out of. But never mind,
you will be able TO blow it all away, for
you were the most windy baby ever saw.
Your Grandmother often observed that she
believed you would yet make a smart man
for she never knew it fail--that a windy
baby always made smart man-that il
was sure sign that you would make an
orator-that when you changed from boy
hood to manhood the wind would pass of
upwards easily, and not grippe you. So
am confident you will be ably to blow
them all away. Now Iwant to give you
a little more advice how tn work it when
they tell such stories about You. You must
do as another man did, down country, who
used to be in the habit of going into hi,
neighbors' cellars and stealing their pork
/ One night one OF his neighbors, doctor
watched and saw him so in. He shut the
'dtSAo idStc.icu IL Wchl 10 DcI.--
The next morning he went into the celia
to adjust his barrels and founi the MAJ
there. He seemed to be surprised. but tn,
thief being guilty began to beg that h
would not expose him. He finally agreed
he would not, but that he should have tn,
privilege of telling the story without telling
the name. when he pleased. and it was agreet
to. So the Doctor, at public places whel
he saw group of men together. and tn
thief among them. would tell the story il
such manner as to make them infer tina
the thief was in the crow.l, which AWAY
created a tremendous laugh. The guilt
man had to laugh as hard as the rest, OF
you know. he would be suspected. How
ever severe the punishment was he had t
do it.
Now, Charley. you must do just so,
it does almost kill you. You know l a.
i ways give you good advice. Be sure an
. do 1t.

self daily throughout the district Of his
supcrhuous excrescence, by the way Of
"iunging" around and recuperating the

employ, to compile, arrange and put in
shape his lying stuff, which is scattered
broadcast without stint and paid for by the
Great Buchanan administration
This Palmer has neither responsibility,
courage or reputation, and depends for a
living upon what he can extort from men
of libsrality, for small services, while he
is a perfect hatcr aud dsspiser of men of la
Dor and true Independence. He had rath

his unmerited confidence were starving

complied with the request You may if
you choose consider the statement untrue.
That is your privilege Is it necessary to
explain more fully We are aware your
skull is thick. but if You have a thimble
full of brains in your Uranium you can GER
tainly see now what a BOBBY you have been
making of yourself in this matter. You
stated three or four weeks back that scores
of Republicans were dissatisfied with their
ticket and would notsupport it. We be
lieved the statement to be untrue. but still
were not SO green as to ask you to furnish
the names of the ,lisaffectcd. and if You
did not should pronounce the statement
false.
Our reason for abiding to the election
last fall was because you insinnated that
we had an intense laundering for Office, and
that unless something was done for us soon
we would waste away" We merely de-
sired to say that you Judged MS by your
self We are aware that you were greatly
chagrined at your defeat. from the way
you growled about it, and the mouths you
made at "sick" and "sore-hcaded Demo
Gratis" but if yeu did not want the matter
referred to why did you invite it by such 4
remark as you made about us?

ded in the Commissioners statement, em
bracing an aggregate vote of l,243 III

would stand 1863 for to 1892 against it

The supposition of the Republican, is that
these returns either did not reach the Com

charge ,hey have trumped up, without a
shadow of proof, against Mr.. Colfax. of
importing voters, in 1886, for the purpose
of aiding his election. Their object in all
this is too apparent to admit of but one
construction-to divert the attention OF
the community from themselves. They
know that their leaders imported hundreds
ofillegal voters INTO the District that year.

State, and all they hope to accomplish now

But let us examine into the p'ausibility
of this charge against Mr.. Colfax. briefly.
What necessity was there for his import
ing voters9 His friends throughout the
District never entertained the slightest
doubt of his election by an overwhelming
majority, and even the best informed Of
his opponents conceded that his majorit,
would be from COO to 1000. Many bet,
we're made upon majority of 1000. On
Democrat, for the purpose Of blufing som'
Republicans, proposed TO bet $500 tina
Colfax's majority would not exceed 500
The bet was instantly taken. and SO conf
dent was the Democrat that he would los
