To the Editor in the last issue
Of the Former il m article taken
from the Anti- Monopohst, partly
published at this place, relative to
the endorsement of Judge Rothrock
BY the Anti Monopolisi Judicial
Convention at Cedar Rapids.
That article was inspired by Ae
Grand Byington and written by
John Williams. The fragrance of
Byington's reputation has been
already waited over the border to
the nose Of your public. Williams
moves in . small orbit and may not
be 50 well known since his pro-
longed efforts fc. o.ice at the hands
of The Republican party have not
afflicted your people The issue be-
tween Byington, Williams and Roth
rock is = personal one. Ellington
has been imprisoned by Roihrock for
infamous, malicious and repeated
contempt of court, and for the same
offense, repeatedly committed during
the last term of court, Williams was
fined SIS. 1t is true that Williams
contempt was as fragrant as Bying-
tons and IS deserving OF imprison-
ment; but Williams is an idiotic
drunkard and besotted beyond SEM
blance of manhood, and in pity of
his infrmity was treated gently.
The statements, all and singular,
in the article you have reproduced,
as to myself and the other gentlemen
named, are false.
am aware that your county was
opposed to Rothrock, in our conven-
ton, but Johnson, Jones, Benton,
Linn, Iowa and Tsma were for him.
/ credit the delegates from your
county. Mr.. Hillebrant and others,
with entire honesty in their opposi-
ton to Judge Rothrock, and claim
for the representatives Of the other
six counties the same honesty of
purpose.
would not permit your delegates
to be libelled or belied in my paper
by drunken blabber. aud | regret
that your columns have been opened
to The personal spites Of two men
who have no respect nor good report
1T home and deserve none abroad.
Very truly,

The Brooklyn Investigating Com
mittee announced a determination u
close it, work finally, Tuesday eve.
ming. Voluminous testimony has
been taken, but the fear seems TO be
that its character will be insufficient
to satisfy the public fully Of either
guilt or innocence on the part of the
accused. The testimony Of Moulton
has not and probably will not form
any part of the evidence. II is true
that an intimate friend says that
Moultons testimony could and would
damage no one but Frank Moulton,
but nevertheless. after all the refer.
ence which has been made to Moul.
ton, Moultons knowledge and docu.
ments in Moulton's possession, il will
be hard to make the public believe
that the bottom has been reached
while Moulton remains silent. The
dastardly course pursued by Tllton in
connlving at the throwing of his ac-
cusa''on before the public long in ad-
vance Of any possible defence. was
evidently pursued with the deliberate
intention to cause prejudice and pre-.
judgment But however much or
little in this direction it NAV have
accomplished, the fact remains that
it is of character to require more
defence than mere denial. And when
the conclusion is finally reached and
the committee shall have made its re-
port, the public will still decide for
itself upon whatever evidence has
been placed before it. Every one
who has at heart the cause of moral. |
'ty and religion will hope the great
preacher may come out with clean
but should it be otherwise
hey will remember he is but a man.
nd though he dishonors his profes.
ion ne cannot permanently injure
he cause.
