Mr.. Editor:-The Stripes man "throws
up the sponge" in bis contest with Tax
Payer. After iusinuating that be has said
something that ought to require personal
resentment failing to deny positively any
thing Taxpayer has charged, and half way
claiming that the whole "Stripes concern" is
his,) be very ungracefuly abandons the con-
test.
l have not the copy Of the Stripes before
me now, neither have the time at present
10 more than refer to the matter this week.
So far as personal resentment is concerned,
remember the story of the Jack" and so far
as the claim, or insin nuatiou, that the whole
Stripes concern belongs TO its editor, I ven.
ture the assertion that there is no man in
the County but who would laugh at the
idea of Selkirk's purchasing and paying for
it. approve of the sensible determine
ton Of the Stripes man, whether he has been
ordered TO do so or not, not to continue so
unequal contest any longer as he las been
waging with Taxpayer, and if he should 60
a little farther and resolve not to write any
more on political subjects,i it would be de.
cidedly better for bis party.
| admit bis failhfulness 10 firm Of firms,
and believe the effect will lead to democratic
success in the coming election; therefore

the execution Of threat that has been

much mistake the spirit Of our people if they

others, who never touched their gold, have
done we took no gold, and we refused to
embarrass our people by imposing upon
them an onerous debt, and for this we must
