SH1ELDsvlLLE. April 18th, 1876.
Editor A,ti-N onopolist:
SIR the Irish Department Of your
last weeks issue, saw an article writ
ten by some person (rso,s con,psts nse'atus)
signed, "Mandain Maple" Fictitious
name) concerning the celebration that
we had in Shieldsville on st. Patrick's
Day.
iwish to reply, and have the same
published. We had celebration, the
proceeds Of which was to be applied to
paw on our new church organ, and was
so applied. But the tiend that wrote that
insulting article, done so with mali
cous intent, intending to insult our Rev.
Pastor and the whole congregation at
large, for some unknown tiendish pur-
pose. | think so from the fact that the
greatest portion Of the article is an un-
truth will not enter into any detail
at present of the untruths set forth in
that article, but request you to give the
real name of the writer if known to you,
if the real name was not given.
wonder very much that Mr.. Dillon
O'Brien would have such sl.nderous ar.
ticle published in the Irish Department
of the ANTI MoNoPousr.
If the real name was not given will
you send me the original manuscript OF
that articlep If this request is not COM
piled with it will be a great damper to
The ANTI-MoNOPOLIsr in this section OF
the country.
Although we are all Irish here, we
know when we get an insult.
The reason want to know the name
of the writer is. because know that there
are only two or three in our whole par.
ish that would write such an article.
Suspicion already exists, and an inno-
cent person may be accused. Let no
guilty person pass, (Grant.) The wri-
ter said that there were some Irish hearts
lett yet that could appreciate music, aud
they said it all, for the Irish heart of that
writer is not the real white and green
heart; it is tinged little with yellow
and blue Put the saddle on the right
horse.

contributions to the ANTI MoNoPOLIs1

ple." The real name Of the writer We
