Il, a Statement. was made in the last NUN.
Der 80, IF the Gooahue County Republican, to
the effect, in substance, !" that 1 requested
the ';ditor If that sheet to state that the
address and names which appeared III the
Sent:.dlof tile week preceding was published
withou my consent: and that the editor 81
tsie &ntinet stole the same from my mouse
in Central Point" III gai9s, g q! 4tIHu iiias
This is untrue. What i did say to the
editor Of the Republican, when approached
by him on that subject was. that Mr.. Col.
viii copied the names from the address, at
my store n Central Point, where it was
lying for the purpose Of signatures. That
on on. asking them the purpose for which he
copied them, he intimatcd that it was for
publication, TO which ] demurred. This is
the substance Of what l stated to Mr., Hub
bard, giving Elm permission to use my name
to vouch, for the statement as made it.
and what ! have. reiterated. above. ,.'st 49,
Neither the address or the, signatures
were serruptitiously obtained from me, nor
did in any manner authorize the editor to
publish any statement to that effect.

4 Certainly the copying of an address pur-
porting on its face to be. addressed to the
public, and lying publicly for signatures in
. public place, in the presence Of the party
having control Of it, is far from justifyging
NJ. Hubbard in making the statement that
| obtained i criminally is, stole it
from the house Of my friend without his
acknowledgement far from showing that / in
any manner serruptitioasly or dishonesty
obtained it. The upurposc for which MI:
Martin made the statement to Mr. Hubbard
was, the same as other gentlemen assigned
in their cards in the same number Of the
Republican, 70 Wit: That in getting Up
and signing the address, they did not intead
it for Democratic electioneering document
and that it was published without his, .ap.
probation, and nothing more ..,ag55 a!|5
