| September 18th, that he and Irve Dun
gan Were going over the county telling
the people the truth Thus l. T. vouches
for the truthfulness of Trve, and we will
| indorse for l. t. They are then to be re-
garded as truthful men. Let US see what
they say about each other and that will
show what manner of men are now the
leaders of the Democracy of jackson
county
| In the jackson Herald of April s, 1870.
Irve thus spoke of the Doctor;
SCHOOL ELECTION
at is to be regretted that politics ever
/ influenced the choice of men for Direc-
tors of our Schools and it seems that
/ this election, at least, will be free from
any such thing.
I'VE learn that DR.. l. T. Monahan is
I opposing Mr.. Isaac Browns election, but
we suppose most of the community I'M
/ derstands the little business speculation
/ of the Doctors out of which grows his
animosity to Mr.. Brown.
But, outside of that, DR.. Monahan
told various men, previous to the nomi-
nation, that he would not oppose Mr.
| Brown, and that he had no objection to
him. Yet, when his wire-pulling failed,
and no person bit at his little bats, he
sets himself to work to defeat the peo-
pies choice.
by looking at the proceedings of the
Convention, in this paper, it will be seen
that Dr. Monahan himself, moved the
nomination of Mr. Brown, and now he
works against him. We hear the DR..
boasts he can control the votes of num-
Der of Irishmen, which we know nothing
about. We think it proper to say this
much, in view of the fact that we know
of the DR.. making statements about Mr.,
Brown which are grossly untrue.
"Such conduct would astonish those,
not acquainted with the Doctors erratic
course since the Senatorial Convention,
last Fall
Not that any one supposed that the
Doctor cared Cor the nomination for SEN
ator, but the disappointment at not get
ting to deliver an elaborately prepared
speech of thanks TO the C6nvehti0n for tie nom,
iHotion."
In the same number of the Herald is
the following editorial, written by this
same Irve DUNCAN:
''Since writing the article headed
School Election letter has been re-
ceived which enables US to expose the lit
l. .
upon the children of jackson.
"a short time ago, the agent of the,
Publishers of Harvey's Grammar visited
Jackson, and, desiring to introduce their
work, offered to exchange their new.
Grammars for the old Green Grammars,
in use in the Schools.
"The new books were sent to Monahan,
and when the children come the Doctor
charged them from ten to t,centy:tfoe cents dit-
ference-a thing the Publishers did not
expect, and which the DR.. probably meant
to keep for his honesty.
Mr. Brown and Dir. French stopped
that little game and DR.. Monahan pro
poses to defeat Mr.. Brown.
The Doctor claims that he was author.
lied by the Publishers to charge the diff:
ference. The following letter will exs
plain the transaction to parents, who areE
interested in our Schools
Here follows the letter which appesRsEE
i'll Dr. Monahan's communication, with
this important difference; Dr. Monaharg
gar5les that Letter, and leaves ont the very
portion ,cAich conflicts him. We have his
manuscript, where he cuts it and pastes
it over The genuine letter concludes
thus:
The books are TO be 1ufDlSned III cUeH
exchange to all pupils that have an old
Grammar to give III exchange for the new.
Now, if any pupil has been compelled
to pay any money, | hope you will see
that the money is paid back to them, and
that all the pupils be Immediately fur
nished with the new Grammar at even
exchange | will come to jackson as
soon as [ can.
please write to me, and much oblige
Yours,
Il. B. IRWIN"
The above seems conclusively to con-
vict the DR.. of rascality, and no wonder
he cuts that part Of it out.
In the same paper for the next week,
April 10, 1870, is the following, with fam
