COMMUNICATED.

EDITORS ENTRRPRIsE:- '
In reading yor paper saw @ statement
by r. A. Horr. among other things referring
to certain circular, and denominates II
my circular" Now Mr.. Horr, in his very
lengthy communication, undertakes to de-
plore and excoriate tho attack that comes
from behind, or in other words, shin who
stsbs in the back" and then appeals to the
reader IL his condition is not very danger
Gus one, for that he is the subject Of .'back
stab" and then Immediately following. al
most In the same sentence, saye, and most
positively asserts he ''knew 1t was no back
stab as 1t WAS Q Wadsworth stab," and he
knew 1t, did he? When Horr published
that instigsted what he calls scurrilous,
dsmnsble sheet, that hit him iu the back
and then Immediately in front. He most
certainly knew, unless Tim Herrick Is a liar
as we'll as coward and sneak, as he calls the
writer, that 1t was not true in fact or in spir-
1t, as Mr.. Herrick, q Republican brother of
Mr.. Horr, says he did tell Eorr and others
that knew nothing about the Dream until
after 1t was written, that he, Herrick, was
the author, and further told him and others
that did not know it was published, or to
be published, until after manuscript was at
printing Office, and further says he told Horr
and others that he, Herrick, had most relia-
BILE. unimpeachable evidence that was not
the author Of article styled "Not Dream"
and fu rther, that knew nothing about 1t
until II was printed and sent here; all Of
which Horr well knew when he published
his wonderful letter, charging me with its
authorship, aud he knew, also, / believe,
that had said, and now positively assert,
as under oath, that knew nothing about
the Dream until written, and of its publica-
ton until 1t was in printing office and that
entitled "Not a Dream" until saw circular
In town and did not and do not now know
how they came here.
And now Horr knew by this testimony of
Herrick, and he dare not dispute 1t, that l
was not the author of either article and had
no knowledge of same until after written
and published. Now where is your pink
and lilly? As 70 reading circulars and dis
tributing, do not deny that read one, or
one side OF one, at Orange, by the request
OF one of the leading representative Repub-
licans of Ashland County. ANY sin in do
ing q kindness to an honest Republican as
he was?
Now who wrote this damnable sheet, or
one side Of 1t, and no distinction has been
made between its authors in bestowing
chaste, refined and gentlemanly language
upon them. Perhaps they will want to
make distinction II they find out both are
not Republicans. Yes, who wrote It. A
worthy Republican as is in your party,
though you do call him coward and sneak.
1t was Herrick. Who circulates? Ten Re-
publicans, venture TO say, to one Demo-
crat. Who asked for its publication in
Republican newspaper? A leading Repub-
licsn, whose character no one dare attack, Of
Sullivan township.
With these facts before you, where does
the responsibility rest! Who has done the
most to circulate, your party or ours. Be
lair now and answer honestly. Now, Mr..
Horr, my competitor in politics, is willing to
,sy that am Vulnerable but that he scorns
10 turn on the light of truth upon me-"
sm now, aud ever have been, ready and will
ling to walk before your Horoscope and let
he light Of truth be turned on and Join
hands with you and compare vulnerability
with one who has sought by all means lex |
,ept fsir) to mlsrepresent me before the peo-
de. When he was in possession Of such |
vas not III author of either, or responsible |
or the publication, in any manner or form, |

In the ranks of the few.
No one regrets more than myself that |
