w Or THE EDITOR.
During the past two yearh have passed several
Jokes with Z. S. Wilson, editor or the Ironton
Rtgistsf. He reclppocated. and ISuppOsed that
the best of feeling existed between us, until last
week, when received his paper, containing an
article about myself so fun Of yulgarity and
backguardism that il would shame even the
West Union Defender or the New York Day
Book.
Mr. Wilson says that l J'aisely revealed some
cohfdenGalmalter that occurred 1.-THE Editorial
Convention lronton last Spring. Here Is all
said about that.
Bro Wilson. of the Ironton Register, is po-
ct. And he knows it. Last Spring he got him
self appointed poet 20 the Editorial Union. y" 1i
Was that false or betrayal Of confidential
matter? Here Is an extract from the official pro-
proceedings Of The convention, which appeared
in alae papsr'M hi part Of he State last May.
''Mr. Wilson suggested The propriety Of sp-
pointing poet aud orator for the convention,
aud sustained his motion In q few remarks.
The motion prevail led, and Mr.. E. g.. Wilson
was appointed as psct and Mr. W. @. Hood as
Orator.p luC1 Tur tUA - I~gtiG N"i ii
Mr.. Wilson need have no fears that 1 will re-
veal what occurred at that. banquet No amount
of provocation will induce me to do that. Twill
spare the erring young man Mat humiliation.
The next week after the convention, Mr.. Will
son published the following in the Ironton Reg

THE EDITORIAL BASoUET.
To describe this affair Is beyond pen or pencil.
There was no previous programme, and no one
was aware what was coming minute ahead
The toasts were all aimed off-hand, and some
times scattered SO furiously as TO bring several
ofthe profession out at once. Col Bond presided
IN his royal style. Every one present made his
speech, while several poured out their eloquence
many times. Col. Thomas got covered all over
with glory. Capt Raper spread himself like a
green bay tree. Mr.. Morehead was the person
rfcation Genlallig. Mr.. Mackley looked splen-
didly with bis stolcs discarded. W. G. Hood
blazed a moment, took sick, and died--away
Glddon shone like jewell. Eylar was back
ward, but hung on well. Smith of Mlddleport
'drawed on all the banqueters by q single
yarn" Drake, showed he was no dead duck "
Smith of Portsmouth ditfused like an Aurora
Borealis He told ever SO many stories. and
sung, no one never sosweetly as he The matin
was not far away when the union rose from the
table. Every one went away with q req llzatlon
Of an evening joyously spent. Speed, time, to
another just such night"
Either what be said about me in that article
was false, or what he said about me last week
was false. There Is a lio out somewhere.
Mr.. Wilson pretends to reveal what occurred
at the convention last Spring. If he tells the
TRUTH the editors then present were cowaidly,
deeeltful scoundrels. Aud here notify Mr..
Wilson that intend to have full investigation
of this matter. | hope and expect to meet the
Editorial Union at Ch illicotbein May next, and
intend to bring this matter up in proper
shape. If Mr.. Wilson tells the truth, / want To
get Out Of an organization composed of such
msn. Ifhe has lied about and slandered the
Union, then hemust get out. d. NJ. ...
