MIR. Pierce's Challenge Accepted
"A FOeman Worthy of his Steel
The Tribune Declines to Pub
lish the Acceptance.

The following letter of Mr. Silas Smith of
Boothbay, accepting the challenge of Mr.
Pierce to Mr.. Blaine 'or any other man" to
discuss the political issues of the campaign,
sent to the National Tribune but that
paper refused to publish it,
BooTHBAY, Aug. 6, 1879.
To the Editor Of the Tribune:
The enclosed slip from recent number of
your paper will suggest my purpose in writ
ing.
From his selection of prefer i antagonists
it seems evident that Mr.. Pierce is champion
of the heavy weights but as Messrs. Blaine
and other big guns have so far failed to re-
spond. and as the sweeping clause ''or any
other man, would seem to open the lists to
all corners, | thought it possible that Mr.
Pierce, in default of ''foeman worthy of
his steel" might be willing to come to Booth
bay for an amicable discussion with an antag-
onist utterly unknown to fame.
Perhaps may be charged with illustrating
the SO often quoted line Fools rush in where
angels Cor giants fear to tread; :" but little
reflection will moderate your opinion of NV
rashness, as well as your possible contempt for
what you may regard the pusillanimity of
Messrs. Blaine, ct ais. You see, to such as
they defeat in the forensic arena would be
terrible humiliation; while to such as | erea
defeat at the hands of redoubtable an an
tagonis might be glory enough | believe
in naming the place of meeting am only
claiming the usual privilege of the challenged
party.
My sole reason for choosing Boothbay. is
that cannot afford to travel and Jack the
incentive (hope of office greenback orators
have. As a further inducement to Mr.. Pierce

operations by the fiat apostles. We
are benighted here that the fat

sixteen out Of nearly four hundred votes, and
the brains have since deserted even that for
Torn hope.

present pursued is, strictly speaking. ille-
cal. though, of course. no one but IA
natical and sectional partisan would find
fault with il on that account. Still, were
each Southern State to pass law making
it capital oflen~e for any person to be a
candidate on any other than duly APP
proved democratic ticket the last pretext
for opposing Southern solidity would be
taken away. There would be III immedi-
diatc end of so-called Southern outrages,
and peace and democratic supremacy
would forever reign in the States where
once wicked negroes voted for worse re-
publican candidates, and thereby created
division and discord in the body polite.

the multitude, am conscious of nv seeming
rashness in presuming to touch the shield OF
champion who purposes to hold the lists
against all corners.
Not being grecnback candidate for Con
gress ! shall not set up illiteracy as n merit,
or shake any haysced out of my hair to dem
onstrate, at least to n Boothbav audience,
that | have always substantially won my
bread literally by the sweat of my brow.
NV early educational advantages were but
limited, and whatever | may possess of cul-
ture, be il much or little is the painfully gath
cred accretions of a -gathcredin such
favorable localities for counting the muses. as
the forecastle. the miners cabin. the barracks
etc.
But with all these disadvantages I really
believe that if Bismarck or Bcaconsfeld pro-
posed to revise the multiplication table. |
have lust cheek enough to dissent. and
timidly to urge that twice two must always be
four, and any attempt TO make more of it by
legislation must fail.
Yours respectfully
