Ora Pro Nobis Rises to Explain.
20 Me Editor Of DC RepubIican: :

10 We EuttOT OF W6 hepuOUcdN.
Having been for many years a pat
ron OF The REPUBLICAN, and having
been recently most maliciously ca
umnlated by certain writers in it, now
claim a patient hearing in justice TO
my self and to truth. truth crushed
to earth shall rise again." In vindi-
cation, then, of truth, justice and right,
mangled and bleeding l unsheath the
sword. I say bleeding and mangled,
for how could any man escape annihil-
alton under the point blank range
of such terrible cannonadibg.
/ shall not attempt To answer the
charges thrust at me In the order OF
occurrence, but in the order OF their
magnitude. / will first notice John
Mackey." He says in his last letter
Ora Pro Nobis" in his last stated it
was too much to have two trustees
running the township" We said no
such thing, please quote correctly
John. He says further, 'Overmyer
told us at the convention he had al
ready more business than he could
attend to, and withdrew his name.
Ora got up and told the convention
that Lucas Overmyer would not be
considered withdrawn, and further in
his report to the convention stated
certain wire pullers tried to nomi-
nate j. f. Wise" Correct, will Brother
John show wherein we did wrong in
supporting l.. Overmyer in the con-
veDtion? Is it not a fact thatMr. o.
was prior to his election regarded by
Republicans and Democrats alike, as
a man OF veracity and rectitude
None who knew him could have been
made to believe that he could be
rendered the plant tool he has proven
himself since his election.
Secondly, notice the blank shot
which was thrown across the lake last
week by the learned trio, who thought
to blow me into Kingdom Come.
Doubtless the readers OF The REPUBLI-
CAN would be pleased to know who
the gentlemen are who compose
the trio. The bare mention of
their names should be sufficient to
satisfy the most curious, as to who
they are and where they dwell. Here
are the names j. NJ Jones, 4. b. Van
schoiack and T. j.. Loudon. They
reside at Maxenkuckee, Ind. and like
some OF the Apostles OF old, follow
fishing in the summer time as liveli-
hood. In the winter they live at the
expense OF the public by keeping up
fire in some school house and call
themselves school teachers. AS there
good reason why the above named
gentlemen have taken up arms in de-
Tense OF Superintendent Bailey. 1t is
we'll known that there is an effort being
made to build graded school house
In this township, and the people OF
Maxenkuckee are doing their utmost
to have 1t located in their Village,
and as Mr.. Bailey has considerable to
do with fixing or selecting the site,
he has recently shown an inclination
in the direction OF Maxenkuckee, the
trio o7that place will manufacture any
kind OF a falsehood in his defense.
Furthermore should the school house
be built at Maxenkuckee, and Mr..
Bailey be elected the first of June en-
suing, the trio OF fishermen and school
house warmers will OF course each
obtain license next fall to keep the
new school house warm.
/ will now notice the missile pro-
jected at us by Supt. Bailey. who
some people call professor" 1t has
become quite apparent that our county
Supt is much like many other officials,
he can not standcriticism. One thing
have learned, and that is il you
tread on a rats tail you are sure to
make him squeal.
Now with reference TO the Maxen-
l<uckee Institute. which has caused
Mr.. Bailey so much agony. Hear what
! he says: "Must 1 say that for courtesy
shown me and spirit of good will to-
