In this paper will be found couple OF
columns of pungent reading from MIR. j.
G. Starr of Moline, in regard to the ex-
animation at Monmouth cf candidates for
the West Point cadetship, and DR.. Gregg S
affidavit charging hun with attempted brl-
berry. In his opening he takes issue with
statement made by THE ARGUS that he
complained of the action OF DIR. Gregg and
the committee at that or at any other time.
Our recollection is different from that Of
Mr.. Starr We remember a conversation
with Mr.. Starr on the subject of that ex-
animation a short time after it took place,
and our recollection is that he complained
of the action of DIR. Gregg and of the com
mittee-but it may be that he only re-
peated what he claimed that others had
said to him. The impression upon us,
however, was that he was dissatisfied and
complaining. But we do not intend to en-
gage in the controversy. DR.. Gregg and
Mr.. Starr are both mightier with the pen
than with the sword, and they can fight it
out in their own way. We only call atten-
ton to the letter. 1t is sharp enough to
hold the attention of any one who COM
mences its reading.
