We have no fault 70 ilnd with Mf. Miller
because hs did The job, Or because he has
twics bsen favored at our expense, but We
DO justly b.ame him loe attempting to var
nish over the unjust acts Of the Executive
Board Of the State Asricultual Society, and
further, for putting stock into the premium
list Of this year that was far inferior to the
sample upon which the bids were made.
This Office has had no whining" about
this matter, unless to show up ; piece Of
unfairness is " whining" We never solic-
tied joo from the society, but it has solic-
tied Us to do work, and after finding that
We outbid an competitors, gave the work to
another.
The allusion made BY Nr. Miller about
being taken to do" by US - few months
ago." Is in reference to this: A year ago
last summer, Mr.. Shaffer, the secretary Of
the Agricultural Society, sent Of TO Boston
to get posters printed for the Iowa State
Fair-a direct insult to Iowa printers, some
Of whom pride themselves upon being able
to furnish work in their line good enough
to be used in this or any other State. The
papers Of this city, took Nr. Shaffer to task
about it. Mr.. Miller, Of the Homestead, un-
dertook Mr.. Shafer's defense. We did
pay little attention to Mr.. n on that
point, We believe, and It is not surprising
that he has not forgotten it, or that be pass
ed it ''unnoticed." The result was that for
the last annual fair Mr.. Shafier got his post
ers printed in Iowa-at the Burlington
Ha@trys Office and highly crcditablc job
it vas too, and one that went to prove that
We were entirely right in defending the in
terests Of Iowa printers.
In conclusion We must reiterate our de-
termination to make the third bid for that
work, having been solicited to do 20, and
We have the assurance Of Nr. ShaGer that
this time there shall Be no cause for com.
plant, Is the awarding Of the contract has
been placed beyond the control Of the ex.
ecutive committee.
