scurrilities that Mr.. Hubbard, Of; the Repu1-
Hcfn, might see fit, inS,hessmanaeement Of
that paper and Of his. pafty's interest, to
publish against rue. First, as considering
their source contemplate. and second, be.
cause personal controversy had no bear
ing whatever upon the political issues of
the day-and ought not to, and cannot. ex
ert any influence upon the result of the
election.
But the publication in the Sentinel of the
address Of the disaffcctcd' Republicans Of
this county, has called out an attack from
Mr.; Hubbard, which, although it has no
bearing upon the election, the address ITSELF
and not the monnersin1whicha L obtained it.

a statement was made in the last mum
Der "f the Goodhue County Republican,, to
the effect, in substance, "that | requested
the ,'ditor Of that sheet to state that the
address and names which appeared III the
'Sent:"lof tile week preceding was published
withou my consent: and that the editor Of
tie Stnt1.el stole the same from my mouse

This is untrue. What I did say to the
editor Of the Rtpubtiuu when approached
by him on that subject was. that Mr.. Col
will copied the names from the address, at
my store in Central Point where it was
lying for the purpose Of signatures. That
on asking them the purpose for which he
copied them, he intimated that it was for
publication, to which demurred. This is
the substance Of what stated to Mr., Hub
bard, giving lin permission to use my name
to vouch for the statement as I made it,
and what have reiterated above. 10y ....'
- Neither the address or the signatures
We're serruptitiously obtained from me-, nor
did in any manner authorize the editor to
publish any statement to that effect.
tSignedl PERRY u. MARTIN.
Certainly the copying of an address pur-
porting on its face to be addressed to the
public, and lying publicly for signatures in
a public place, in the presence of the party
having control of it, is far from justifying
Mr.. Hubbard in making the statement that
| obtained it criminally-,h.t is, stole it
from the house Of my friend without his
knowledge-or far from showing that in
any manner serruptit;oasly OF dishonesty
obtained it. The purpose for which MI:
Martin made the statement to Mr.. Hubbard
was, the same as other gentlemen assigned
in their cards in the same number or the
Republican, to wit: That in getting up
and signing the address, they did not intend
it for Democratic electioncering document,
and that it was published without his ap-
probation, and nothing more. .sa.a s65
What Mr.. Hubbard's object was in thus
disappearing Mr.. Martin, and circulating
a wilfal, slanderous falschood against my ny
self, leave the public to judge, satisfied 70
put it in possession of the actual facts Of
the case, especially as these facts most
clearly disprove anything criminal or dis
honorable in my own conduct, while they
as conc!usively rebound upon the author of
the charge, showing him to be just what
he always has been-a contemplate liar
land puppy leaving him public mark
for the finger Of scorn to point at, totally
unworthy of notice from honorable men.
