further upon the snhje
D. r. Anthony has in his employ man of dir
ty work, a grinning, scrawny, s-rvile creature,
who resembles the ghost of hyena. This man
writes editorials for Anthony own paper, fatter
ing him with sycophantic praise; and he also pre-
pares the reports for the Associated Press always
using care that they contain nothing detracting
from Anthony pleasure or glory. When Anthony
discovered his mares nest, bis man Friday at
once telegr,phed an account Of it, misrepresent-
ing the matter, and forestalling public opinion.
Then Anthony comes ont in his paper, wondering
who this reporter can be, and who gave him au-
thority to make the statements be did! But 90
far from creating . sensation, nearly all the pa
pcrs slasbed this stuff out of their dispatches, and
even refused to give il room in tho papers. In
stead of seeing it copied far and wide into the
papers, bat two or three Greeley papers have paid
any attention to it, while others 60 90 far as to
pronounce it mess Of lies. He rc-publishes 1t,
in hopes that it may excite public attention; and
doubtless will next send special solicitations to
the papers to publish it. Now to the charges:

| A batch Of lies, from first to last Jim Legate
never asked us to vote for Carney; never offered
nor paid MS money for 80 doing; and we never
wrote him letter acknowledging the receipt Of
money for any purpose whatever. Tom. Osborn
never offered us money to support Carney; but
on the contrary, We always supposed, until
the State Convention of 1868, that Osborn was
bitter enemy Of Carneys, and we were surprised
to find him working for Carneys nomination for
Governor. This is the first time we ever heard
Frank Drenning charged with selling ont to any
body, and We never wrote to Legate or any other
man that he had. But to show what bare-fac
lies the foregoing paragraph contains it is only
necessary for us to say that, in 1s66, we did not
support Carney for the Senate; and to recall the
well-known fact that A. L. Lee was candidate
that year, and Drenning was an enthusiastic
friend of his, travelling the State labOring in
| in his behalf We supported Lee, solely because
the people of this County were for him; but we
did it reluctantly, for we believed then, as now,
that he was selfish and heartless-a man too much
like d. r. Anthony. This wholesale batch of lies
was invented by Anthony for effect against Os-
born. He never saw any letters of the kind, for
they never existed.

tion to the Chief We Wenever even talked with Tom.
Anderson on the Senatorial question, previous to
the election, and only guessed how he stood on
the question, from seeing the men whom he ap-
peared to cooperate with.
We never abused Jim. Legate in the Chief be-
fore,er since the letter purporting to have been
written us by him; and never published but one
editorial denouncing any action of his, and that
was about the time that Anthony says Legate
was bargaining for our vote. Late in the Sum-
mer of 1869, We published "hatchet" story,
simply and solely as burlesque upon some excite
ment being had regarding Legate's doinss. Leg
ate construed this q slnr uP"n deceased rela-
tive, and probably did threaten something, in
conversation with friends at LeavenwOrth. He
wrote MS q note on the subject, covering about
half page of letter paper, in his ordinary heavy
hand; yet here Anthony has discovered and pub
lished letter, which must have occupied at least
tw" pages Of paper, in which Legate makes dire
threats against ms. Singular enough, ton, the
letter is dated at leasta year before the publica-
