about that letter you published short time ago.
Monahan says you were ash9fnel of II, but he
tells so many lies that l cannot belle 20 him.
But hope you will take this for on excuse
Monahan says, ''od man Mccoy has written an
other silly letter for the Stondard. There Is so
much balderdash from beginning 10 ending, that
it deserves no reply" can tell you the reason
you can't reply. You know II was all true except
calling you sheep head, and / expect as many
would say that was true as would say it was not.
we would say the old man was laboring under
some nervous disease, &C." owe would advise
the old gentleman to keep cool, and take some
gentle nervine. Undue excitement might pro-
duee insanity" Now Mr.. Monahan when want
you to prescribe for me, will Let you know.
There are loyal doctors yet in jackson county,
and do not want any prescription from rebel.
And be sure and not send any bill against me- for
will not pay it. will serve you like old Billy
Jones did, who lived on Wolf Creek, in Lawrence
county, when you gave his daughter medicine
contrary to his (Jone9 order. Mr.. Monahan,
you know the rest. This, sir and great deal
more was told to me by Joseph Miller. expect
you know him. You doctored Ibis brother Ben
lamin when be had the measles, and he died.
now sir, this matter about old Billy Jones Is the
ilDeious communication that was not published
IN the standard. You know whether it is SO or
not. Yes, there Is moro of it, which will hold
~ reserve until get short history of your
pilgrimage while you sojourned at Millersport.
NOW, 90 not like to say anything as to Mona
hans personal character, for his political char
acter Is mean enough to disgrace good sized

court that he had stolen the canoe, but the iury

wanted TO know how that came about. The
jury replied that they had known the man all his

lie will not tell the truth if he can in any way
slip in a lie.
Monahan says he heard Appointment Republican
say that he would not read the silly twaddle of
Ia letter through for five dollars coming from old
man Mccoy. Now there is another Infamous
|talsehood for there is no prominent Republican
that would stoop so low as to have any such talk
with rebel, and thing that is all the time cry

&C." He gets these names from the New York
Ddy-Book, Cincinnati Enquirer, La Crosse Demo

Ito invent them himself although he is not slow
lon mean inventions. AS to silly twaddle if any
person ever saw as much foolcry in any small pa

|like to know who they are, and where they live,
II mean what is contained in Radical No. 1. and
No. O." Monahan thinks that is smart talk. He

Ia Doctor and u historian. lie says neither Davis

would advise him to read Andrew Jackson's
proclamation to the lli6ers of South Carolina.
but suppose he thinks jackson is none to what

does not agree, after reading that proclamation.
that be has been holding forth q lie will give

fore the Legislature of Georgia. he says the South
Twas never 50 secure us 1t was ut that time In its
rights. But Monalan says that Lincoln made the
war Monahan cannot be as great historian as
he would wish people TO believe he Is, or he could
never, (as mean as he ISL hold forth tile way he
does. But there is nothing TOO mean for jeff.
Davis worshiper TO do.
Monahan said some time ago that the Demo-
Gratis had ruled this country ninety years now he
says sixty. | suppose he won't fall another
squirrel. l suppose sixty odd years is about
right. And the butternuts now praise old Buck
more than all the rest Of their Presidents; and
well they may, for he fulfilled their expectations
TO an ioIa. lie left the Treasury bankrupt and
the country seventy or eighty millions in debt,
and the nation plunged into war. Oh you
northern rebels Well you may boast of James
buchanan. But the Allwise will have long ac-
count to settle with him.
Now | would say to the Union voters of Jack
son county, beware OF wolves in sleeps clothing,
and some with sleeps heads. They will lie and
swear, and use all undue means to deceive Won.

make you believe they are all the saints on this
side OF Jordan. Union men, and Union soldiers
look ut your mutlluted limbs. Cast your eyes
towards AndersOnyille, Raleigh, Danyille and
Libby prisons, where thousands and Thousands ~
your fathers friends and relatives sleep the Inst
hong sleep, that knows no waking Ask your.
Selves Who was the cause of this The answer ia
h plain one. IL gaS The Democratic purty.
Now suppose the negro gets his vote. He Is
loyal. | wish could say the same of sheep head.
IL is great sin now to think of a negro voting,
when in 1910 the Democratic party run for Vice
President Richard NJ. johnson, who was married
TO negro wench, or lived with her in adultery.
That was 'mongrelism" to perfection. You reb-
els of the North, look at your beloved brethren
South, even at jeff. Davis, and his muialto son.
There you will see mongrels.
Union men, say again. be not deceived by
n orthern traitors. They have got a fine set Of
men for candidates, from Governor down to Re-
L
what these Democrats have done for them. Yes,
they growl and grumble about paying the veter-
an soldiers their township bonds. | know some
that will have to pay ten cents towards some
bonds on Hamilton township, and 1t is desper-
ate thing. Oh such men Their souls arc SO
small they would rattle in tobacco seed. And
yet these same men tell the people they are the
|Only Union party there is, and the men who saved
the country are disunion, negro party. These
Democrats are much afraid Of becoming equal
with negroes. | suppose some would 90 up and
some down. Probably more up than down,
wish all butternuts in the North had been in the
rebellion, and were now as loyal as the negroes.
This reconstruction would then have been at ON
lend long ago. But no. You persuade your
Democratic friends South to blood and carnage
again. But no Mr.. Buttenut. You will not de-
ceive those people again. They have been taught
q lesson they will not soon forget. And some
Northern rebels are vilifyfng Longstreet because
he Is willing TO submit to reconstruction. Any
way, he knows the teTors of war; He has been
where blood ran IN rills and stood in pools. Ho
is not like some Of our northern rebels, who
stood IN their own door and shot Union soldier
Union men, and all lovers of the Union, rally
to the polls on tho second Tuesday in October
next, and show these northern traitors that they
shall not rule this Government, which they were
so anxious should be destroyed even ii they
should howl negro until their bellies bursted.
Now in conclusion will say TO |. I, MOnahan.
want no prescription from rebel. l have
Union friends plenty for me. And be sure and
not ask any pay, as you did Of old Billy Jones.
Remember Millersport
