LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.

AGA AAsS hA AVA ALs
We presume the following letter was
intended for last week paper, but as it
was not mailed until April End of course
it did not come to hand in time. In view
of certain facts, of which we are cogniz-
ant, we think Mr.. Q. states his case
rather strongly.
Town of Schleswig, March 29th 1869.
EDS OF THE MANITowoc TRIBUNE,
DEAR SIRs You would oblige the I'M
dersigned very much by inserting the fol-
lowing in the columns of your paper. in
reply to few items I read in the TR1-
BUNE of the 25th inst, written by one NJ.
A. MalloY of the town of Liberty, first
let me ask Malloy who paid you for
riding over to Schleswig that cold day to
see me as you said you had very impor-
tant matter in hand at the time. Now I
will inform you of what you promised
me if | would support Barker's nomina-
ton, to let the public see what bragga-
docioa you are. You promised me the
nomination next fall of county Supervi-
sor as though you had all the votes of the
district delegation in your own hands, and
[ knew at the same time you could not
warrant me two votes Of the said delega-
ton, and also you would warrant to see
me well paid for my trouble if [ would
60 to the convention, and at that time |
[ meyer promised you one vote of the
delegation Of Schleswig for Barker. NAL
10y [ would give you to understand that
when [ go to convention I go on my
own funds, thank God [ am not poor
enough yet to beg from beggar. Also
you made the assertion that there was
one man with three votes pledged to
go for Barker, who went up to ST.
bree' Office and came down Sibree man
as was the only one delegate who had
three votes / take upon myself to answer
the accusation. [ say in reply if you
meant me, that you arc a censurer and a
liar. | neYer pledged myself to you or
Barker, Sibree or any other man. you also
said you were sick Of such raseality l
hope you are Mike ] hope you VIII atone
for your sins and reform, in answer to a
question you put to Sibvce as it concerns
me viii ans yer it for him at present, it
was as this did not Quinn Of Schlcswig
receive $50 for casting the vote Of the
SchlesWig delegation in your favor. |
will answer it thus, be did not, and l
brand you or any one who says he did as
rascals and liars, do you judge others by
yourself, is it because you took money to
go around tocanvass the county for Judg e
Barker that you would censure others to
do the same IF Judge Barker had
known the influence you had over the
people of Manitowoc county he would
have paid you to stay at home. Malloy
you know that you nor any other man
cannot bribe me. / will vote for the man
[ think we'll of and man [ think is ca
pable to fill his Office aud no other, and |
thank 10 man for it. You know [ was
one of the first to answer no IN regard to
recess in the convention. Any one that
don t want to take my word for it they
can ask our chairman of the convention,
Mr. Ranken, and you were one of the first
to answer aye for a recess of fifteen min
utes. Some OF those outsiders, beer
drinkers and ticket peddlers must take us
delegates to be fools. But they viii
come to find out that we are not as big
fools as they took us to be. Signed,
MIKE QUINN.
