From the Newark Ledger, Oct. 70
Nh. RDIroR:--To your correspondent,
zone OF the Followers" let me say In
reply, do just what your master, who
you are following, tells you. You are
no doubt both the tool and slave Of
your master, and must do his bidding.
In regard TO respectability, man who
is the tool and slave Of any man or set
Of men, lacks the first principle Of re-
spectabilty; he has not yet learned to
have respect for himself or he would be
above being the follower Of any man.
A man who can only follow, and has no
mind Of his own to think and act for
himself, Ia either ths tool or slave for
the man he follows. To all such ] say,
vote as your master tells you, let him be
whom he may. have no use for any
such persons, and should as said be.
fore, feel disgraced to be elected by
such men; so give your vote, II you
want u please me, for some other per-
son rather than myself.
Defeat to me would be a pleasure
rather than to be elected by such things
as you, who are ever ashamed to let
the public know your name. ! suppose
your master has told you to ask show

the standard value throughout the
world, am opposed to anything being
called dollar that cannot at any time,
at the will Of the holder, be converted
into a gold dollar without discount.
How are they on taxationi" | hardly

me that question. have shown that

property and in no case ever tried to
shirk out of bearing my share of the
blytheD Of taxation; and when in the
Legislature and the question came
up that money had to be- raised to meet
the interest on the State bonds, which
at that time could not be sold at but lit
tie over Is cents TO the dollar, it was
proposed to put an additional amount
on the property that was then paying
the entire taxation Of our State.

stock, about the only things at that
