sRs: My habit is to deal with principals
and not with subordinates. With the .Chron-
icte newspaper and its 'impersonal Journal
ism," have nothing to do; but shall treat its
utterances as those of Thomas II. Williams,
and of none other. You, sir, throughout an
entire page of your sheet of to-day, in COM
ments upon a public speech wherein ones
private character was assailed. hare proved
yourself to be a btackgudrd and liar! You shall
not skulk under the convenient editorial 'we,"
for shall not allow no such disguise.
A card from Mr.. W. L. F. Deal, appearing
also in to-day's Chronicle, misstated several
facts and incidents These misstatements
correct promptly and at once; l never said. in
conversation with Mr.. Deal or otherwise, that
Il was willing to do all could to assist the
party" or that "ny time WAS at the disposal
of the State Central Committee" l do say
now, as heretofore, that l shall take part in
the campaign. and shall do all in my power
to elect some of the nominees on the State
Democratic ticket. l never appeared or

at the ratification meeting" on the evening of

other person was authorized by me to "solicit
an invitation to speak at the ratification meet

solicitations" on my part as are mentioned
in Mr.. Deals card.
But. sirs-and will call Mr.. Deal as a wit
ness-there was coupled with the final and
formal invitation to address the meeting, the
Insulting condition that no word should be
used in reprobation of Mr.. Sutro, or OF the
infamous legislation which he has proposed
and urged. 1.-The Democracy Of Storey County.

This declaration was proof enough the lead

a miserable dduenturer and s1,ndtT, whose
schemes of piracy and plumber have opposed

approval of ninty-nine hundredths OF the peo-
pie of Storey County, and OF the State, and
of the whole Pacific Slopel And for WHAT
To secure paltry support by betrayal OF
the dearest and most vital interests OF the
whole people l decided to act, and act
ut once upon those declarations of Mr.. Deal.

that would expose the damnaole fraud, az
any hazard or cost of personal friendship. l

tasteful to the Chivalry-Sutro Democracy
Mr.. Deal included. l hope to survive the de-
privation of his kind refards, and tine con

his assumed airs and pretensions and ''tone!
Touching what Mr.. Deal is pleased to say SO
patronizlngly about the canvass four years
ago and two years ago, have another chapter
of this letter in reserve-a chapter OF original
letters and documents, and of kilograms, etc,
