June 1st. amounted to Sl2, as can be
seen by official record on file in the
office.
So this is lie No. !.
The one-leg soldier referred to. was
not an applicant for the post office when
the present encumbent was appointed
We have, therefore, convicted you OF
lie No ?.
L. A. Drummer says that we shielded
oursclf from the draft by being an Alien.
There was no draft in Canton, Ohio,
where we resided from September 14tll.
1856, till the fail of 1865. The people of
that place were patriotic enough TO fill
all the acquisitions for men male upon
them, without any necessity for resort
ing to y draft.
So we put this down to Brunner's cred
it, as lie Nos.
1t is not true, as you would have your
readers inter, that we delayed being nat
uralized It'll after the danger was past.
as we were naturslized as soon as p,ssi-
ble, after having fully complied with all
the requirements OF the law. Oar ''Fi-
nal Certificate Of Naturalization is da-
ted September 9TH, 1861.
Then this conyicts you of lie No. 4.
although he, [Cuneo. was pocketing
the dollars on account of the demand for
labor, at the expense OF the limbs and
lives of our sons, never gave cent
to prosecute the war, or to relieve the
suiferings of our brave boys who filled
our hospitals" LA. Drummer, The Can
die ofthc Lord" during this terrible Pc
riod of our coultry's history. we were n
mechanic possessing but a humble home
depending upon our daily toll for the
support of on, self and family, still out
of our wages we cheerfully contributed
as follows, on four occasions alone: First
S25; Second, $50; Third. 500; and,
Fourth, S75. with some other gentle
men we also went bail at the First Ma
tional Bank for some Copperhead sub
scription, and as we might have expect
cd. let us stick and we paid our share.
Those fellows are now we presume ar
dent supporters OF Greeley.
Thus we have convicted the renegade
L. A. Rrunner of lie No 5.
We did also, little volunteer soldier
ing. for which we hold an "IIon-
orable Discharge" from the late Cover
nor of our State, David Tod, and for
whom we are proud of having voted.

p. Cuneo, Up. Sandusky, o.:
DEAR SIR: Your favor of the Goth
inst. received, stating that your war
record had been questioned by those
who knew you not during the war
We re sure it must be by those who
have no knowledge whatever OF your
history or they could not charge you
with shirking duty of any kind much
less of shirking your duty as citizen.
when the country needed men and
money to put down fierce and bloody
rebellion, Although 4 laboring man
with a Il family to support. you cheer
fully contributed your share OF the
money raised by our citizens as local
bounty fund tor the volunteers who
on enlistng were credited to Canton !;
the records showing that you paid on
the four such calls, the respective
sums of $25, $50, 800. and S75,
company of Home Gaurds and when
called out for 100 days, you aid not
shirk duty but marched with company
and honorably served out the term of
service required. No draft was made
during the war in Canton, as we
always filled our quota by VOL
unteers under each call for troops,
No one took more active part than
you during the whole continuance of
the war in advocating the integrity of
our country, and no citizen, whether
born or naturaiiZed, was found more
willing to act Il good citizens part than
yourself.
Hoping you may outlive such base
slanc ers, we remain.
Very respectfully.
