SEVERANCE, AGAIN.

SEVERANCE, KANSAS, Oct. 8, 1877.
EDITOR CHIEF I'm you last weeks Issue, there is
communication over the signature of Occasional
This funkey has dshed up a mess of slang, and is
ashamed to let the public know the author and well
he should be- In the first place, he styles me Spring
er's great tool What / wrote about this matter
was written without Springers knowledge. Springer
never asked me to say word about it, and he did
not know what had written until it was ready to
send to the editor. What said in my first article,
merely to give the whole chain of facts connected
with this matter Springer is of age, and speak
for himself If Springer has fauts that this 1unkey
knows Of he can make them all known, if he likes;
it is no affair of mine.
As for my '.vast wealth. have but little compared
with many others; and 1 never said had, pre-
tended to have much wealth. But endeavor to live
inside my means. But one thing say, and tell
the truth: that never got one cent of my '.vast
wealth by getting ten twenty dollars worth of
cheap groceoies for n blind, and then dig hole
der my shanty, and roll in few barrels of rotgut,
and after this was done, 60 round the town looking
up silly and innocent boys, and, like the spider,
sing to them, 20, into parlor it is the pret
test parlor that you did spy &C.; and when
these silly people in this pretty parlor dish up
to them the drug that robs them Of their sense of
right, makes them than beasts, and robs their
wives and children Of kind husband and father, and
all the comforts of life never got men to work for
me for days, weeks. and even months and then, on
settlement, have them in debt for whiskey. Does
this funkey remember selling whiskey, without
the necessary license to men and minors, all days
of the week, Sundays not excepted Does he rcmem-
ber when the Grand Jury was in session, eh I This

one can find why did not, by asking the Elder oil

they want security, and the says) get mad This Is
downright fie After those attachments were serv-
ed On me, 1 went tony endorsers, and asked them
not to push ON the nsrtgage, if Ryan would wait.
Mawherter pledged me his word of honor, as a gen
tleman, that he wsald nst urge for ten days after
due. In the meantime, the time for tho trial of the
attachment comes on; several ST. Joe creditors are
in town, and friend of mine hears evidence being
read to Mawherter. against mel. He also passes his
opinion, which yuu can sc, from his article hss not
been changed since. made remarks, to the
effect that he was grand rascal and had no princi-
ple and that no honest Justice would do such thing
This happened about the time the mortgage vas due
Three days after it due must release them,s or
they would sell me out procured Other ssscurity,-
but the ten days were not up, I retain Mawher-
ters.pledge, This word of fhonor.) Now he has moth
ing to fall back on but his COED looks and penman-
ship, which will probably carry him through to Ore
gon. t.,
Now As to my 'going under,rI have just this to
say: have paid twenty five hundred dollars of
my debt, since Mawherter expressed his opinion that
was defrauding my creditors. More than half has
been paid with exempt property, and money obtain
ed from exempt property In reference to the trans
actions between Campbell and Gordon and myself,
the contract has been filed every cent of money was
paid.
In another place, the Justice brings innocent wo-
men into this affair. What, in Gods name, have
they to do with the postoce affair why has this base
scoundrel, who himself confessed the crime-why,
say, docs he connect pure and nobleminded girls
with unfortunate business affairs Does it lessen
the crime Of Nathan Springer his aocompicesi In
all my crimes and ID all my writing, have never
brought pure woman's name into q newspaper in
connection with q mans who is as base Mowherter
represents me. Were in his place, would forever
hide my brazen face from the gaze Of indignant
community.
In reference to the Maher affair no one was more
anxious to capture him than myself refer TO Thos.
McGee concerning this. His whole article amounts
to nothing but confession of the crime Of Springer
& Co. on one hand, and an abuse of Campbell and
myself for being unfortunate in business the 9TH
er hand.
Now, Squire, farcithee well. Nay you be q JUS
TIcE in Oregon and at any time YOU let me know,
you may have your word Of honor. am not using
it, as purpose for my words to be words of truth,
and my honor the honor of gentleman. My address
is Lathrop No. ..- ,... &C.. s...
will not use more of your space, unless compelled
to by further false statements reports not connect
cd with this affair. Respectfully, G.Y. DALE.

Rosa Della Dale.

Much has been said and written about the above
named child, during the past few weeks truths
and many lies. She was apprentieed TO me or
about July ID. On August llth, my wife went to
Lathrop, NO., and took the child and as she wanted
to stay, she left her, and came back. In a short
time We prepared to move to Missouri not knowing

~ The Troy CAig seems to be displeased be.
cause telegram was sent FROM this city, stating that
the Washington County Republican Convention had
adopted the resolution offered in the New York Con-
venton by Geo. VIM. Cnrtis. As the fact stated was
legitimate news We cannot see what cause there Is
for growing nbont it. If the editor Of the Chief of
fcrs in The DOnipban County Convention, q resolu-
tion disappearing the of the Administration,
and 1t is adopted should telegraph the fact, just
we did in the Washington County Convention.
We simply thought it must he of intense i'm
portance to the people of the United States
what the Republican County Convention Of
Washington County, Kansas, did, to burden the
telegraph with it, as an item of important news,
that could not wait the movement of the mails.
If the editor of the Chief should be delegate to
the Doniphan County Republican Convention,
(Which he does not expect to be- he should not
offer any resolution relative to the Adminiatra-
ton, for against, unless forced to it. We
have been opposed to all such resolutions in
Conventions, as unavoidably calculated to cause
trouble, inasmuch as there is such . decided
tion. The opponents of the Presidents policy
have not sought to bring their dissatisfaction in
to Republican Conventions. In every instance,
without a single exception, the Administration
question has been thrust into Conventions by
the supporters Of the President. During the
whole Of the past Summer, the President has
permitted his so-called Civil Service policy to
lie used by the enemies of Senator Conkling to
injure that gentleman and his friends and even
then, the New York Convention would have
passed it over mildly, had not the Presidents
friends forced it upon the Convention. The
Champion has heaped . column of denunciation
upon Senator Conkling for bis action in the
Convention, yet it knows perfectly we'll that
George William Curtis, an enemy of Conkling's,
went to the Convention for the express purpose
of raising a row on the question of the Presi
dents policy, and to insult Conkling, by de-
manding an endorsement of the war upon him,
in the house of his friends. Conkling would
have shown a lack Of manhood, had he pursued
different course from what he did. The Cham
pion's tone has undergone remarkable change
on this policy question, within a few weeks
past
