M'VEAGH TO BUTLER.

A Savage Refort to Buffers Last Letter,
PHILADELPHIA, June 6.-Wayne McVeagh
furnishes the following letter in reply to But
Ter, to the press this evening:
PHILADELPHIA. June 6.
Gen. B. r. Butler, Washington, d. C.
l fear you have Overworked your inventive
faculties, for your long and labored letter of to-
day shows signs of falling powers and will go
far to destroy that reputation for effective sour
The issue between you and me was of your
own seeking, and is SO plain that you cannot
obscure it by any amount of misrepresenta-
ton, however irrevelent or vulgar.
You deliberately wrote and published con-
corning me four sheer fasehoods without a
particle of foundation for any one of them.
Thereupon | promptly put you on the national
pllory with very legible statement
of your, offences upon your forehead.
for an entire week and now virtually
confess that every statement made by you was
untrue, L have no objection to your getting
down, but you must not suppose that placed
you there in resentment only My chief pur-
pose was to exhibit you as warning to young
er men by showing them that in spite of great
ability and energy you had become the leper of
our politics by reason of the general conviction
that you habtually disregard the 9Th and 9th
commandments
That purpose has been fully answered by the
comments OF the country upon your character.
and have no further interest in the matter
will not even take the trouble to deny any new
falsehoods you may think it to your advantage
to invent about me, for those who know me
will not believe anything you say against me,
and those who know you of course will not
believe anything you say against anybody
