Written for the Republican


Mr.. EDITOR: ''Erastus Stacy writing
from Little Sandusky'' in the last Union.
says, My object is to show that we
have in our locality quite number of
persons who, to say the least. are i'm
properly balanced, if not absolute
maniacs!" That fact alone. Mr.. Editor.
is bad enough, but when man takes it
upon himself to publish such fact to the
world, through the press, he certainly.
seeks to tear down the character of his
own locality and bring it into contempt
in the eyes of other localities. 1t is
noble and manly to build up, but some
men always prefer the meaner course
of tearing down, lest, in their opinion.
they may not be able to maintain the
position of the solomon" of their 10
cality. Only think of STACY ex-
posing IDIOTS, fools, insane persons, and
maniacs! Noble work!
STACY says his attention was called
to this subject by noticing couple of
communications in the Republican over
the letters u. B. RI Because one man
wrote two articles for the press,
''Stacy" grabs his pen and proclaims to
the astonished world that his "object is
to show" that his locality" is full of
maniacs,' absolute maniacs!" And
then declares that ~. B. r. has long
since shown his want of ability to write.
and that the "mildest excuse he can
offer for him is that of partial insanity.
| This communication of "Erastus
Stacy" is only a back-handed blow at
some of the few persons in his ''locali-
ty" with whom he has differed in
opinion. and who have sourcd his
stomach by the administration of
wholesome, but to him, unpalatable
truths! A few more articles from Lit
tie Sandusky (?) will enable him to hit
all his insane" friends of his locality.
After disposing of u. B. r. he says
that they also have in their ''locality''
persons insane on r ligion. Politics,
Patent Rights,-men of visionary brain.
&C., and then he would advise u. B.
R." and all others similarly affected to
stop writing. and let those write who
have "something to say, and know houo
to say it, meaning let "Erastus Stacy
say it, for he knows how!
4 Now. for the benefit of Erastus
4 Stacy' of Little Sandusky.' we would
i say that u. 3. r. are true and genuine
/ initials-that he never before wrote for
the Upper Sandusky press. and he is not
as you suppose. somebody else than u.
B. R." He is a man of few words
not 'many" as you say-a gentleman
y and a quiet citizen, and is not "in-
sane" No. are all men who may have
, crossed your path" insane"
, But who is ..Erastus Stacy" and Dhert
| is his locality ?" Is he an honest resi-
dent of Little Sandusky," or is he like
, maniac" and assassin attempting
to deceive? He writes from Little
Sandusky." and leaves the unsuspect-
, ing to believe that one half of the peo.
< pie up there are crazy-gone mad, &c.
]. and yet the very men he strikes at are
l not in that "locality!o
9 u. B. R." is in this ''locality'-so are
Clemens and Oliver, the religious dis
cussionists - the politicians and the
e eE.tPatent Right" men are all here, tt

J. Yes the ''maniacs," the ''insane," thost
with ''rafters slipped'-the fools, thos,
