MIR. g. z. JoHNsoN:-Is it no about
time that Solomon Hersey, the writer
OF the brillingsgate in the Republican
both editorial and communications,
should be checked in his wholesale care
less handling of the truth? He has ma
ngned and falsified the record of Mr..
Almond time out of mind, and the
thinking. portion of the community can
very well see that all Mr.. IL. is aiming at
Is to secure the temperance vote for Mr..
Gallagher, who only allied himself with
wilmington Div, No. l, Sons of Temper
ance just previous to the nomination
eiection few years ago, when Mr.
gallagher wanted to be the nominee of
the Republican party for sheriff. He
only joined the division in order to Sc
cure the temperance vote and as S.
Hersey Is a staunch temperance man, of
course he must still battle for his ancient
friend Gallagher with all the weapons at
his command, even if the lustre OF some
of them is dimmed with gross and un-
pardonable falsehood. The communities

whether or not he is a friend to the poor

as 5. b., alias Hersev, has done in his
communication in Wednesdays RepubH-

willing to swear to. During the time to
which l have reference, L was so unfor-
tunate as TO be out of employment the
most OF that summer. My family were
IN destitute circumstances, and L was un-
able to provide for their wants. L was
a Republican at heart, and served during
the whole of the rebellion in the army,
which L thought entitled me to some
