AUSTIN, New, Juno 10, 1914.
EprroR Nrws: I beg you will grant
me space in your columns to say n few.
very few words. The subject is not
worth much powder. and don't intend,
therefore, to waste much on il. The
subject is the Virginia Independent. The
issue Of that sheet Of the 10th instant
contains a dirty, scurrillous and I'M
called for attack on me. personally.
Has II come to this, that u man dare not
express an opinion in opposition to the
so-called Independent movement with
out bringing down on his head the vile
billingsgate OF the MdIeppa papers that
champion that cause? The Ladepndoa
says that Sharon has bought me. Right
here l want to say that / neither know
Sharon nor care for him; and I don't
suppose it makes q particle Of difference
to him whether so insignificant an indi-
vidual as myself advocates or opposes
his claims to n seat in the United States
Senate. But l do protest against this
dirty n Of hurting scandalous
and untrue epithets against me, because
l do not choose 10 denounee him as n
thief and a scoundrel. Nobody has fur
nished me with the control Of a daily
paper. through whose columns | may
abuse and villify any person whom I
may deem to DO friendless, who incurs
my displeasure or differs with me in
opinion. which seems To be the only
mission Of the Virginia bsdependsni.
/ have only to say. in conclusion, that
I never vas a Secretary Of u convention
Of any kind; and that l defy the editor
Of the bdepead,Ni to point to one in
stance wherein. during a residence OF
nearly fourteen years in Nevada, l ever
wronged man or woman, or wa eyci
charged with dishonesty-or even with
accepting a bride to give a boy a Ger
tiiicate in u competitive examination oI
candidates for the naval school. as some
body connected with the Independent
the peoples paper(O-is charged with
doing.
am done with this subject now. A,
l before remarked. l control no dali,
paper through whose columns i cal
Eight back" and whatever Mr.. Gin
may hereafter say about me. l shall leay,
IL 10 those who are acquainted with u
both. and our careers in this State, e
Judge between Us. Very respectfully,
FREp. II. HART.
In regard to that bride, alluded Il
above by our correspondent, and recent
ly also charged upon the same persoi
by the Eureka SeHiiRo, We will stat
that last evening in the curse OF a con
t, ~vcrsation on the subject with Mr.. Rior
den. father Of the boy in question. h
: assured Us that Mr.. CHM did not to hi
personal knowledge. either directly o.
indirectly, receive any money as n con
r sidcration for that certificate. lie says,
: moreover. tina, Mr.. McClusky, of whom
: the Seibasl speaks, did not furnish o.
o loan to him (Riorden) any money fol
|, such purpose on the occasion referred to
-Ep. NEws.
; Referring to Mr.. Hart and the attach
Of the Ltdep,ad,ni upon him, the Rees'
! River Rsr,iRe OF the 18th instant says:
Mr.. Hart attends to his business
|. promptly and faithfully, and his private
life will bear comparison with that o
, the best citizens Of the place. TIL
charge that Mr.. Sharon has bought hin
, is amusing. II such were the case tn
, fact would have been made apparent Il
the people Of Austin ere this, for he he
longs 10 that class OF men who beliey,
, in giving their money u show. Hedoe'
: not believe in boarding his coin, not he
and as he leads a remarkably economical
life. IL is safe to say that he is not over
burdened with Mr.. Sharon's money
We can voueh for his purity in this re
l spect.
