with which he concocts low grog house
tricks to deceive the unwary' farmer. He
says he would get up mock competition,
and thus deceive them. But it only shows
the n,rrowness Of the range Of his concep.

clique could carry out their nefarious plans
Such arguments will not stand long against

1t IS needless TO comment further upon
the display OF mud Of which the aforesaid
attorneys brain is composed, but inasmuch
as we are into it now We will make one lot
Of it. In our article We admitted that from
computations we had made we did not think
that after adding to the price paid for wheat
here, the freight to Milwaukee there was
great margin between the price it cost there
and the price it brings there: Almost any
one would have understood that to be ar
admission that the wheat buyers Of this
place have not been making greet profit on
wheat; but our candidate for Judge regards
it as conclusive admission that they dc
not make any profit, and therefore, if the
people Of Hastings Of Lake City pay more
they must steal on the weight OF. the wheat
Surely the Almighty created this man for 9

Now the legitimate conclusion is, as every
one can easily see. if the Lake City and
Hastings people pay more than vo, they do
business for q snaalter prcft Than soe; aod there
is no necessity for charging Them with dis
honesty, and probably the attorney would
not have charged them with stealing wheat,
had not that been suggested to his mind by
bis own practice in the wheat business. 1t
is noticeable that the attorney does not repeat
the patent lie about whe.t bringing fourteen
cents per bushel more in Red Wing than it
does at Lake City, but is content this time
with claiming that We ray as much as they
do. 1t is possible that the absurdity Of such
lie may have penetrated even his skull:
Now, Mr.. Attorney, you say 'runor lies.
1t may be SO, but we incline to the opinion
that you, not rumor,7 is the individual who
lies. We will give you one or two reasons
why we believe you to be the liar.
First, We know lying to b constitution.
al infirmity which you possess in great de-
gree. Second, We know from our own per.
sonal observation that on two occasions
within the last: eight months, wheat has
brought more At Lake City than here, and
we have the word Of score Of Individuals,
s"y on e Of whom is more reliable than your
self that the Lake City market is always
ahead Of this place. With regard to Hast
ings, we know nothing, and We say nothing
Third, We have been informed BY = ,shea
buyer Of this place that frequently he would
have been willing, and could have sfforded
to pay three cents per bushel more for wheat
than the clique wers paying, but did not
dare TO- bid for fear Of being run out Of the
market by them. A merchant Of this city
informed US that the clique at ono time 40,
pointed 4 committee to wait on him to in.
form him that he could not have any more
wheat for the reason. that he had dar2d "a
bid more than they had agreed upon as the
price to b. paid that day. II is proper here
10 state, however, that the committee did
not perform their mission, probably through
fear ofmeeting with just such reception a.
you will receive il you ever succeed in work
your courage up TO the point Of carrying
out your threat concering rs. Now, you
miserable liar, do you say rumor lies?. ss...
There is one sther item in your commu.
nicasio" which We viii honor ron By motto

ws have to say in regard to this IS, that ws
