To THE EDITOR OF The SUN-.Sir: Among
the many interesting things which William f.

laconc reply OF Gov. Stearns when asked to

approval Of profanity may prevent him from

tempters. TO hell with your foreign mis-
ssionsi he said Count me in or will kick

This terse argument resulted IN the throwing
out 81 several precincs from Jackson county,
which gave large Democratic maioritics. aud
