out that "reai. 1--we teacher through
Mr.. Redmondii9 the last issus of the
Monitor, ! wish to notice the main
features of hisarticle. He need not
try to conceal himself longer, for the
impress Of his cowardly soul is plain
ly visible throughout the article
He comes out; as might have been
expected, with whole column and
a half of stuff, a great portion of
which may be construed MS personal
slang. Possibly he has been within
a mile of the point one-tenth Of the
time. And Mr.. Redmond has the
consumate audacily to try to palm
this thing off as his own letter He
might as well try to make me believe
that he will be the next President of
the United States. Itisvery unreas-
enable to say that ] tried to dodge
on mean technicalities." made a
plain statement Of facts, and l have
nothing to retract. There is no use
to notice everything that the article
contains, since the writer has drifted
hither and thither, around and
around. But my first inference is
that | am mere cipher in the Elk
aiming Board, and always act just
as Messrs. Hogg and Kenny dictate.
Now, permit me to say that every
rational being who is intimately ac-
qainted with me, knows that this is
an infamous falsehood When 1
wrote my first article, l did not know
whether Mr.. Hogg or any one else
would approve it. l heard that Prof.
Kenny was not at home, and knew
that Nr. Hogg, was busily engaged
in his canvass for the Capital and
himslf, so | felt perfectly Unsuitable
in taxing the matter up.
In speaking of that motion made
by Piof. Kenny, the writer says that
mot one-ffth Of those present voted
for it" think that is true by in
GLIDING the entire audience, but if
he has reference to the "Association,"
it isbasely false. Judging from the
number of us" when the chairman
put the motion, am confident that
at least four-fiths of the members vot-
edfor it. If that may not be consid-
end unanimous request" then you
nay score one for me. Mr.. Redmond
rfers to his first articIofor testimony
IN regard to "the course pursued by
tIessrs. Hogg and Kenny" Now, if
That is the best evidence that he can
adduce, he has gotten himself into
quite an intricate muddle indeed
Had he attended the "Association,"
we would have had greater reason to
rely on his statements. But he has
been 50 completely "bull-dozsd" by
that real 1.-Two teacher" (who want
ed ~ be a candidate himsolf,) that he
bangs away at random. He desires
to know whether it was right for cur
Board to offer such a motion as that
Of Prof. Kcnny's. claiming this to be
"the real question between u.s.
Well, we are members of the "Asso-
citation" and of course we have the
same right to submit such things
that other members have. He may
consider this out of place, or in place,
just as he pleases. And if he thinks
that the Association" can be gulled
by anything that is very soft" let
him attend our next meeting and try
US.
At FIRST, he considers the office of
County Superintendent $50 small"
and at last a very "lucrative Office"
"Oh! consistency, thou art jewell"
His article concludes with an ego
tistical reference to himself. "What
model for young hopefulsl "Who
ever heard of one ofour judges stump
ing the county for a party?" he says.
The reason that he has never made
such an attempt, is that he knew he
could not do it. He has "never been
a slave to any party" so he says, but
it is obvious that he is one of the
most undermining and 8trenaously 8ar-
castle politicians in the county Why
does he NEEDLE so much with other
peoples business, if he is so just and
independent In his second article, he
says l will drop the natter though
he has signed another one which is
not hisown.
! would like to get a shot or two
at that "real i've teacher" pretty well
