To The Editor of the National Republicans: lraIs
knew MIR. q. would not answer my "re-
joinder Of last Monday in any other way
than in his habitual commonplace Style
predicted to several of my friends that one
need not expect a high-tOned answer from
such source. Mr.. COinheim accuses me ol
Il desire 10 bring my name before the public,
and that this, tho heighth of my ambition,
had been accomplished, This 4 must en-.
phatioally deny and declare Us too absurd 10
be entertained for q moment Il y full hame
under the article in question was needed be-
cause Mr.. Coinheim signed his in full. Tho
address waa inadvertently put 10 the signa-
tare, not by myself, but by some Ono else,
without purpose; the copyist Of my lead PEN
Gil original added the address. Now rs to
my political pap, Max shows gross ignorance.
If bread and butter was my only aim, would
fare much better in the ranks Of the radicals;
but apropos, Mr.. Coinheim, have You net
held bread and butter Office ever since
1868? Mr. Coinheim makes an assertion
that lacks power and ability to carry, him
through. lie accuses me Of feeding on Gov
ermnent pap, while at the same time it ii
known that be would have starved erei this
had he been deprived of, that inoutishment.
Is he not even now employed in an IofRes
under the Government In fne, Mr.. Coin
helm, You have not answered any OF my
charges against the chimerical pursuits Of
your own radical clique. but have resortedlto
low accusations only. But the radicals be-
lieve not in the doctrine, AUDI altera
parkem;" they are the great cut,throsts, on
the political highway. Whether Ihsve 4 con
ception land knowledge in politioalo and
other matters, i leave those to Judge who
know me far better than the editor OF the
Columbia. Suffice to say, that 1 write oil
that published above my signature myself,
without aid, but have serious doubts OF Mr..
Conheim's ability ofwriting even three lines
correctly in English. JULIUS FRASxEL., !
