DEAR SIR:-I hev ben ponderin
with affeckshunit interest the address
ishood by our reform State scentrul
comfy. 1t commences its eloquent
apeel to the people in these troothful
words:
eve do not hesitate to declare to you that
the history of your present State admnistra-
ton is without a parellel the past score of
years"
Considerin the carelusness of politi-
/ shuns generally in gettin up speeches
and addresses, think our comfy is
deservin much credit in namin the
exack time since we he'd SIGH another
administrator. A score is jus TWEEN
ty, and the refecktin reader will OBJ
serve that the past score of years
goze back jus to the time of the
lamented "Barstow and the balunse.
1t is sad refeckshun to the heart of
Reformer that the clowds of twenty
summers shood pass over our beds be-
fore we could git an administrator
to make Mr.. Barstow's respectable
either by comparison, as in this in
stunse, or by imitation as in lockin
up the State records from the gain
of partizans lookin to find whats
ronS with them. Els vizable re-
minder of theze parallel administra.
shuns, with score of years between,
hev drawn 2 long parallel scores on
my bed he'd to look at every mite and
mornin, and in token of remembruns
I'll score handsome red chock paral-
lels on his excellency's name es orna-
mentashuns on my ticket on elecshun
day.
There is consolin refieckshun also
in the seckund parygraf where it feel
inly reminds the people that our
Reform candydates, and particularly
Governor Tailor, shave filled menny
honorable and responsible posishuns.
Emmy alluzhun to the Cottage Grove
craftsmanship makes a Reformer's
boozum feel as if it had Roara Bory
Alice a-heevin in it. In years the
comfy says, "this administration IN
der circumstances has silenced criti-
cism, and in peculiar manner dem
onstrated their devotion to the inter.
ests OF the whole people" The word
circumstances" is here used for elo
cushunary effeck, as a Operative term
for the lock with which, in "pecul-
lar manner" they hev locked up the
records and other interests of the
people. | explane this because your
readers may not all understand SIGH
refined terms. There is a score of
men on that comfy and no doubt they
all took pains in writin the address.
The third parygraf menshuns the
Jacks that the legislature of last win
ter, which was Republican, adjurned
without one word of reproach against
emmy Reformer State officer, and the
Republican State convention in July
adjourned without putin in their
platform a word against them officers,
and, therefore the next parygrat says,
eve regret that our duty to you calls
upon us to warn you against attempt
ed political frauds of the most de-
spicable character" political
| frauds" means the wicked acks of the
West Grant Advy Kate and other
papers in promulgatin the ISLANDERS
that Governor Tailor was the Nathan
murderer and that lie kidnapped
Charlie Ross. The comfy warns
the people not to believe these things,
for if Governor Tailor done them the
legislachure or the Republican con
venshun would hev sed so. The
address says noospaper was prose.
cuted three times for publisbin SIGH
ISLANDERS and it escaped penalties by
acknowledge it lied. That noospaper
is a Reformer too and supports Gov
ernor Taylor. All them sland erin
and lynn papers hev reformed, SIGH as
Brick Pumroy's and the Lee Cross
Sun, and are now switchin their tails
at Colonel Farr and Captain Garter,
and supportin Governor Tailor If
the Governor would prosecuoot Col
onel Farr and the West Grant Advy
Kate and make them confess like
them people did that other paper, |
think more people would believe
Governor Tailor didn't take the
bounties and steel Charlie Ross
Poor boy, | wonder who did steal
him! | don't believe emmy body in
our part of the State beleevs he stole
Charlie Ross except the edditor of the
West Grant Advy Kate. He, the
editur, awt to take his Jacks in lati-
toodinally. When he takes them in
longitoodally it takes them too long
to git throo him. He will not git the
Jacks about them bounties throo him
till after elecshun, and he'll charge it
to misplaced confidence, like he did
the Ohio elecshun. General Calls,
by agreement with me and Thomas
Henry Robertson, told him the mes.
sage Governor Tailor's Bird brought
us, about explanin them bounties, and
he promised to publish it last week,
but he didn't. We didn't meen to
hev them published til the last paper
| before elecshun. Es to the Charlie
Ross and Nathan murderer matter, if
Governor Tailor didn't steel Charlie
Ross, which be didn't, how could he
have taken the Cottage Grove boun-
ties? If he wasn't the original
Nathan murderer, which he wasn't,
how could he hev ben seen by the rail-
roads," or made the Central railroad
pay $4,000 to his son-in>law's paper,
before he would sine their certify
Gates?
Els this is the last chans, / will now
discloze to you another recon why
Governor Tailor has not denied takin
Cottage Grove bounty mummy. The
time he was cokesin Farr to deny it,
Farr KEEP goin away temptinly til be
got his excelency away out in the
capitol park, bearheded, at midnite,
in the rane. The expozyer gave him
the eppy zootick so bad be has not
| ben able to speak since and hens
