THAT SOMETHING WHICH WAS TO
"DRAPr HAS ssDRAPPED.w


a lengthy and fiatulent communica-
tion over the signature Of A. p. Cogs-
well, proprietor Of the City Livery
Stable in this city, purporting to he q
defence of "Me and Governor Butler. {"
The author doubtless feels under "con-
tinued obligations" to the Governor
for the loan Of school funds, with
which he made bis late brilliant cam
paign In opposition to DR.. Stewart,
and also TO attend the Cincinnati Con-
venfion, and therefore continues the
fight, by rushing into newspaper de-
Tense Of His Excellency. How we
apples swimr" The youth who fired
the Euphesian Dome sought notOrie-
ty in that way; Booth, by numbering
the President of the United States :;
and Cog, by persistently thrusting
himself before the people for place,
and as often meeting with defeat.
Now, he lays aside the the dung fork,
and seizes the goose quill. For two
weeks past, the livery stable has been
sadly neglected; there has been unu-
sual rushing around;" an extra
resort to plug hat; an excessive dis
play of | lue bob-tail coat with brass
button, and white vest; roll of paper
in hand, and pencil behind the ear
collecting INSTRUMENTATION wise
winks, and oft repeated threats that
somebody will hear something drdp
in few days" That something"
las "drapped ~ tie mountain has
labored," aud the "mouse" Is before
the world.
Seriously, We have no desire In the
wide world, to inflict on our readers
recitals of matters Of private charac-
ter; can't see where or how they are
interesting; have only touched them
lightly heretofore-barely sufficient
to make point. Ii, however, Mr.. G.
insists upon further details, we are
not disposed 70 shrink from the task.
AS to the security of the loan i'm
question. Mr.. Plasters' mortgage,
1924 Al, is not denied. We did not
state that Mr.. Conner had a lien on
the property; but n claim, which is
fact Mr.. G. will not deny. Mr.. Con-
per has only been prevented from
placing a mechanics lien on the prop
erty by oft repeated promises, until
the time for so doing expired. There
are liens, however, on this property,
equally as embarrassing as that of a
The court records show |
judgement liens to the amount of If /
teen hundred and tlQenty-three dollars
and eighteen cents. More than the
whole amount of the loan, to secure
which a first mortgage is given to the
State. Mr.. Cogswell says the claim is
good without security. We know
more in reference to his fl
nancial affairs, than that he cannot
to-day give clear title to an inch of
real estate.
The reference to our private proper
~ affairs, is simply-to draw it mild
"a fabrication, and without founda-
Ion. What property we own is in
,ur own name; we are out of debt;
nave no judgements hanging over us,
hank God, and have no need for
covering up anything.
We are asked: "Who are those ;
nen-those Republicans-who were :
Butler men before / was candidate,
nd afterward voted and worked {
gainst him? Give us the names" {
BY permission, we give the names of
apt. Jno. l.. Carson, banker, and
ivan Worthing, commission merch-
mt, of this place. Could give more,
ut trust these will suffice for the :
resent. The man in this communi-
Y, would be "a curiosity in Brown !,
ille," who fails to believe that Cog.
Dent the money borrowed from the "
'hool fund in endeavoring to defeat :,
r. Stewart. We will say further, "

'n day, to pay S., SO, or even $40, L

We are charged with presiding over u IL
public meeting, at which Mr.. Por- e. ~
attacked Gov. Butler. That meet w

d at which Mr.. Majors, Prof. Nc
enzie and others, as well as Mr.. Dt
rter, spoke. We were not respon- wv

As to the question of veracity be- !

The Democrat, We have simply to lu
1: the charge is false in toto! We per
