Such being the. fact this company did not
wish for any improvements. This is the
reason why under the charter obtained
they did not ma Ike the improvements.
Now when the editor Of the Union speaks
Of the corruption that flooded the State
capitol, we want to know what proof he
has that there was any such thing. Again,
when in an honorable way he connects DR..
Farr with the supposed corruption, we
want the proof of this also. IF he has
any evidence to back up his abortiye
charges, let him present it at once. The
people will take more stock in proof than
they do in the bare word of our honorable
editor. The fact of it is the editor of the
Union is trying to make something out
of this matter that shall prove detrimental
to DR.. Farr in the coming election, The
investigation that was had proved no cor
rnption against any one, and by common
consent of all parties "pot one word" was
made known to the public for the simple
reason that nothing was elected Of any
interest to the public. The edtor of the
Union gees on to say:
"In conclusion, our objection has not
been to tho imp r0yenaent OF the Chippewa
river or any other river, but TO the manner
in which the Improvement has been at
tempted to the manifest injury of some,
and immense advantage of others. What
we have and do object to, is the corrup-
ton and bribery resorted to by the friends
OF the Dells improvement Btn to accom-
plish their object. We object to seeing
N our leg islature, any man against whom
there exists we'll founded suspicion that
he has ever been engaged in buying, cor
rupting and bribing Legislators. Do not
the people believe that such means were
resorted to by the friends of the Dell's
Bill all of them? We believe the strug-
gle over the Dell's Bill is not ended yet,
but that it will be renewed at the first
opportunity that promises success.
80 she manifest injury of some" Who
are they? Does the editor of the Union
know He does not. His article through
out is a wild play on words. His ignor'
ance of this matter mas been manifested
in almost every sentence he has penned.
He has shown such supreme ignorance
in his Efforts to bring discredit upon DIR.
Farr, that we doubt very much if he can
tell what the Del!s Bill or any other bill
was for. He had better go and hate him
self to death. He says he objects to see
ing MAJ in the legislature against whom
there exists a well-founded suspicion that
he has ever been engaged in buying, cor
Iupting CT bribing legislators. So do we.
But, does tho editor of the Union beLseve
that DR.. Farr was ever engaged in that
business? He don't say so in his paper
We don't know that he has said it in his
little speeches out in the country or any
where else, if he has he is rascally falsi-
fer. We dare him to the proof that Dr.
Farr ever bought or bribed single legis-
lator. And as his candidat for the AS
sembly knows something of this matter,
we refer the editor of the Union to Mr.
Robinson, who would be as likely as any
man te be posted IN regard to any cor
ruption in which DR.. Farr was concerned.
Mr.. Robinson is an honorable man, $50
are they all, all honorable men," and Mr..
Robinson will, IN our opinion, cenSure the
course Of our honorable edito: in this mat
ter He believes the struggle over the
DelIs Bill is not yet ended. Here is the
completest evidence of his ignorance in
the matter. The Dells Bill tself is ended
and another improvement has taken its
place. Another reason why the Dells is
a dead issue is because special legislation
for any particular locality has been done
away with, and therefore for our cotem.
porary to continue bowling about the
Dells Bill being revived is sheer lunacy.
We refer him to the General Laws of 1879,
and on page sos, Sec 81, Art 2, he will
find no special legislation can be had,
"For laying out, opening or altering high
ways, except in cases of state roads ex.
tending into more than one county, and
military roads % aid in the construction
of which, lands may be granted by Con-
gress." The honorable editor has been
driven to the wall, and he is desperate,
and out of his desperation comes such lies
