Mr.. d. MAcKLEY:
had no idea when last wrote to the STAN
DARD that / would say anything more about
shcep-head Monahan; but am attacked In my
private character, and will say few words
He SAYS In the Herald of July Sd. Old man Nc
Coy, justice Of the peacc-Squire as he would
say. Now there Is one lie There Is no man liv-
ing who ever heard me call myself Squire. | am
not like he is, for he wants TO make people be-
lieye he is,somebody Hesays "Dr. |. T. Mon
nhan. Notice. you want school books &C., "
and goes on to enumerate what he has for sale.
Then lie says DR.. |. T. Monah0n will continue to
practice medicine &C., and finishes by saying 81.
T. Monahan NJ. D." pretty name for him!
hardly think any person would style him by that
name about Millersport. Yes, he says old man
Mccoy lives in an obscure, out-of-the-way place
in Hamilton township. Now Monah0n, / do not
think am bound to ask you where should live.
| live ON my own place, and IL is paid for, and
did not get it by lying or stealing, or quack doc
torng As TO Petroleum V. Nasby, | know moth
ing. He appears to be great friend of Andrew
johnson. d. MAcKLEY can take care of himself
among such swell heads rs l. T. MOnahan. He
says Mccoy, Nasby and MACKLEY are the princi-
pal editors of the STANDARD. He says, what q
respectable trio to edit newspaper. And be-
cause sensible men will not notice them and in
vlte them to write histories, they set up howl
and grOwl that is perfectly ridiculous. | suppose
lie audes to the county Commissioners. They
got one fool, and u rebel besides, to make mock
Of the history of this county. Why did you omit
giving a history Of the battle that was fought near
where Broadway and Main Streets cross. 1t
might have been given in this way:
"And it came to pass in the third year of the
reign Of King jeff the first King of the Southern
COniederacy, on the first day Of the fifth month,
being the first day of MAY, 1891, l. r. MOnahan,
one of jeff, Davis standard bearers and William
NnndiyOrt Union soldier met not far from
where Broadway and Main Streets cross, as be-
fore stated, and at first fire |. T. Monahan fell
beneath the heavy blows of his antagonist, dam
gcrously wounded, and commenced haowing
'yorka, yOrka, and some of the friends inerltred
and was relieved and will acknowledge that
acted pOssum, as generally do, for when got
relieved outran any Shanghae that ever was in
jackson, and got into my den."
Now sir, this would have added considerable to
your history of jackson county.
have said, and do say, that the Commission
ers could have found man more capable. |. T..
MOnahan was an entire stranger and one Of the
meauest butternuts that ever dsgracCd the face
of this Garth. But he is paying the Commission
ers, and the party to which they belong. by call
ing them the disunion negro party, and every
other Infamous name he can invent.
Since Monahan wrote and delivered his cele-
brated history of jackson county he thinks he
should be rated with Goldsmith, Bancroft and
Losing. Oh what famous historian |. T. Mon
ahan is! The Shaughae says things that may be
amusing to those long habituated to reading the
silly productions emanating from such brainess
eots. Oh but he felt big when he penned those
last words 4 great deal more so than when he
was running from Vandivort. or when old Billy
Jones was giving him his own for-(We leave
out few words here, as being slightly personal.
En-. STANDARU.) Remember Mllersport. may
have something to say about that place hereafter.
Again, he SAYS in the Herdld that if Jefferson
Davis committed treason by the rebellion, George
Washington did the came when he took up arms
against George the Third. Now he knew he told
a bald-faced lie, il he knows anything atall; But
he is trying to deceive ignorant people but God
knows they must be ignorant il he can deceive
them. He might carry his point among sucl
Democrats as there are in Brush Creek township
in Scioto county. They think every Presidential
election that they are voting for Old Hickory
You can hear them every election hallowing fol
Old Hickory. think MOnahan's Herdid would
take iirstrate there. Monahan, you are disgrace
to the party to which you say you belong. You
are disgrace to jeff Davis He would not claim
that he was as much justified in this rebellion al
Washington was in taking up arms against Eng
land
Again. he pitches into all the ministers of the
Gospel. They are almost all set of hypocrites
except Mr.. Downey II seems MOnahan has for
got Joining the Methodist Church at Millcrsport
And what was that for? To get practice as {
physician, for most of the people in town, anC
The country around there, belong to the Metho
dist Church. Oh you hypOcrte MOnahan, how
do you expect to escape p
He saws he could have told about the soldiers
who went into the army from jackson county
and then he says he would have had to say some
thing on the other side, meaning that he woulC
have Justified the rebellion. lie spoke OF thu
Morgan and Hobson raids as much as to say tina
they were both after punder lie well knows
that Morgan and his cut-thr0ats were devastating
the country, and that Hobson was after him t
capture him, or drive him off. But they are botl
guilty alike
| He saws it is disgrace that the Government
has not made compensation for losses sustained
! bv them. Now / wonder if Monahan thinks th,
| Government ought to pay him for treating hi
friends. and all rebels at that. Now sir, if | in
vito set Of thieves into my neghborhOod, anC
they steal my horse, 1t would be unfair for m.
honest neighbor to pay for the horse. SO b.

and dog-leg, he was doing no more than treating
his friends, and hope he will never get one re(
cent.
He says he is going to make jackson count.
Democratic. He published his Times two o
three months, and reduced the Union majorit,
one hundred and fifty. Now that is not So Fo
there is no man who ever voted the Union ticke
that would believe your tom-foolery.
He says the poor men pay the taxes, whel
George Davis paid seven hundred dollars da
for making whisky. ] think he was not yer,
| poor. Then J. r. Monahan pitches into bot
Union men and Democrats because he could no
get to read the Declaration of Independence o
make speech. He would have been prett,
spectacle to have been stuck up to read the Decla
ration of Independence on the Fourth of July
|. t. says that the result is, the disunion negr
party will hold political meeting on the 4th Q
July in the Fair Grounds. No true Democrat vii
feel like participating. see by the STANDARl
that Elihu johnson and Green Thompson wer
among the officers on that day. They are yer,
fine men. But do not see the name of swell
