Reporter with personal "Keerd, - in reply to the
Chief. 1t tconssts, mainly, of deuials that he ever
wrote or said certain things, followed by n reit-
eration of many of those very things denied.

thing for the Reporter for the last two weeks, ex
cept several small articles This does not reply
to the charge that he was employed, before the
election, to edit the Reporter and abuse the Re
publican candidates, and that a liberal share OF
the abuse was bestowed upon us; nor does it
deny that he has always entered into personali-
ties, when We have been on opposite sides Of any
question. But we come to his grand summing
up. When we read it, We seized with ah-
miration for the noble and high-toned writer,
who has always been so honest, SO consistent, SO
pure-accordng to his own story. We are NOV
ed to copy it, paragraph by paragraph, with
brief remarks, showing that there are some things
that we have not done.
This personal Of his last issne Is the nrt
time he has ever dared assume the role OF common ~

No, but you have bent the pregnant hinges of
your whole body, and fawned in the gutter, but

We close with one more quotation:

Mr. Beae the owner promised when the papers were
consolidated that he should have interest in the Chief
