DEAR FRIENp ToMpK1Ss-Editor
of Nc Grogor News 81 am . can
didate for coroner. Was nominated
by the Republican Convention, at
Elkader, on the 10th inst. - :.
I heartily approved, at the time !,
of the resolutions there adopted !;
as they were passed before any Of US
received our nomination and not
having time to consult you. had
to adopt them. Resolution No.
TOO condemns the practice Of sub
s'dizing and corrupting the Pass
with public patronage for personal
advancement. This Resolution at
the time, | admit, I thought to be
especially right, but l did not know
that it, in the least, HIT You; and
that yillainous Douglass who Offer
ed it never informed Us Of the fact,
and as Mr.. Upton, P. NJ at Elka-
der, moved its adoption tho't it all
right. assure you our action
would have been entirely different
had you only been here. However,
your leader, of the 17th, has set
me right. I cannot see how any
candidate, after re aiding your unan-
swerablc argument, can maintain
such monstrous hcresy. You have
convinced me. and sll tho candi-
dates, that just such use Of the pub
lie patronage as Resolution No.
Too condemns, is the only proper
use to which it can be applied. I
uow on the honor Of . gentleman
promise you that if you will give
me the support Of your columns l
will do better BY you than Allison
has. / will give you the ENTIRE
patronage Of the Office Of Coroner,
and, 1 further promise. that should
you, during my term Of Office,
shuttle off this mortal COLL" 1
will see you decently inferred with
the usual ceremonies Of consigning
. gentleman to his native element.
Allow me to say further, that think
you served that fellow, Douglass.
just right in that leader. Wore I
in your place | would hit him har-l
der; yes. sir, every time; If bis
back Was toward me I would make
faces at him.
Believing that the rest Of the
candidates will make haste to fol-
low tho noble example I have set
them, and on learning that you are
badly hurt by the action Of tho
Convention, rcpudiatc it, and then
even the convention itself will make
amends, honorable. -.
