CHEyENNE, June 10th, Il


In the issue of the Daily Sun of June
9Th, l find an article headed Live
and Let Live" in which the writer
takes great pains to pour out his walls
of wrath on a certain "portiy tobacco
nist' on Ferguson street Il presume
he refers to the Boss Of the Monkeys),
for sending to St. Louis Gas he says) to
get his printing done, and further
says that the aforesaid individual The
portly to~6acconist) not only does it
himself-which he has a right to do
but solicits Others to do the same thing,
alleging that it "a be done cheaper
there than in Cheyenne, all of which
I pronounce an unmitigated and vii
famous f%alsehood. The truth of the
matter is, that / did send some print
ing to Chicago mot st. Louis) to be
done, because it was to my interest to
do so, which jobs could not have been
done by the Sun office, with their
limited assortment of old material and
on their old Jdshioned hand press (had
| so desired it,
1t might be as apropos for me to re-
tort that Mr.. O'Brien keeps news paper
for sale, yet the Sun Office sends abroad
for it, or that the proprietor of the Sun
office owns property in Laramie, and
makes Tor tries lard to makel none
here in Cheyenne to send there to pay
taxes, and many other things l pre-
sumo the sun Office sends abroad for,
because it is to their interest to do so.

those that live in glass houses, etc.,
1t appears to me that the writer of
that article was hard up for a compare
son and something to write about, and
thought as l did not advertise in the
Sun (although repeatedly solicited)
that lie would give the "portiy toboc-
conist' a free puff, and therein try to
SANDER the Bosso of one of the most
popular places in the city, because IL
became so without the assistance of
the medgre circulation OF the Sun. ]
also state here that / have tried on
several occasions to make u fair bar
gain with the proprietor Of the Sun,
for several jobs (that I haze not taken
dwcy from Cheyenne), but could not
do so on account of his prices being
much higher than the Pioneer Jour
nal, to whom / took my work, and had
it executed in an artistic and work
manlike manner For this reason II
presume) the proprietor of the Sun
Office became wrathy at the "portly
tobacconist.n
Any one having the curiosity to in
quire at the LEADER Office, can ascer-
tain the fact that, during my short
stay here, up to the present time,
l have paid for job work and adver-
Using some S25, besides which 1 have
distributed some $3.50 among mechan-
les, and now pay monthly rentals of
S145, and city and territorial taxes of
S220 yearly, all of which. is paid here
in Cheyenne. / doubt much if the
'short-sightcd and close. listed business
proprietor of the Sum- who loudly
calls for /" Live, and Let Live,n has
done one-qua. ter as much to help
build up your prosperous city in the
same length of time, as / have only |
been in business here six weeks.
| came to your Magic City to stay
with you and become one of your citi-
zens, and propose to pay for all l ION
tract for. Such being the case, / shall
please myself where and by whom l
get my work done, and certainly shall
not consult the proprietor of the Sun.
