Editor Anti -Monopolist: n
DEAR SIR: see by your last issue b
that Keegan is not defunct. ] had con-
cluded he had gone in quest Of the wood v
bine, but alas for human speculation; p
here he is again. all s'booted and spurred,
astridc his favorite hobby, 'sOld Meg.
Two or three weeks rest has been dam
age to him. He seems to have forgotten
what he said before, and learned nothing
new. Hear him:
II see in your issue of the I'D OF April
1875, friendly correspondence from :
Miss Equal Rights of Stockton, Mimi,
and an accompanying one from MI.
Crawford of Elk River, of the same date
all after ssKeee IAN S" scalp, in sweet re-
yenge for the total discontinue OF their
co-laborer in the holy cause Of Woman
Rights and Woman Suffrage. VIM. n.
Plymat. of Fountain Brook, who is with
ing in agony from the wounds he received
on All Fools day last past, for the wan
ton. mean and cowardly attack he made
on the author of this communication.
"The whole pack is now out, Blanche,
Tray and Sweetheart, in full cry, and
Guilty Sark' in the lead. But ! will
win the keystone of the brig without
the fiend taking as much as one mar out
Of the tail Of odd Meg.
| An uncharitable respondent would be
likely to pronounce the foregoing the lam
euage OF a self-inaated bigot. But | re-
produce it for the purpose of convincing
your readers that Keegan, and not
Moses, is the 'smeekest man..
And again:
Sand Mr.. Crawfish, or Crab6sh, if you
please, of Elk River! Why, what sur.
prises me is that all these people live on
the banks of rivers or fountains. They
seem to be merry-bigots."
Well, yes, it would seem little 'sur.
prising' that people in this enlightened
age should plant themselves on the banks
Of fountains and the grand old rolling riv-
ers. while others more modest content
themselves in neighborly proximity to
distilleries and swamps; but, then, that
is matter of taste, Andy, and you know
there is no accounting for it.
But hear him further
"And 10 /! when in his migration, in the
. shade of his benighted imagination, he
: came as far as Solomon, he croaked as
. frog, and he found mares nest"
: like that something about it that
sounds scholarly and classical, but 1t
q lacks harmony and sense. For instance,
n she came as far as Solomon, he croaked
. as q frog, and he found mares nest.
0, Now it strikes us that keegan and Solo
10 mon would make sorry sort of mare
"a nest. We respectfully suggest the fol
Is lowing amendment: ''he came as far q
OF Keecan and Solomon ana found q don
