Col. ELLIOT, formerly of Pennsyl-
yania, a newspaper man, made us pleas
ant call on Monday. He has some
thoughts of establishing paper here.
a LARGE Milwaukee schooner the
Porter, collided with the schooner Ma
CARA in Detroit river, both craft being
towed. The Porter was SO badly Grip
pied that she sunk. She had on Sc, 900
bushels of barley, which is total loss.
WE understand a certain county Off
Ger who has been more Industrious in
circulating stories damaging to our char
acter than in matters pertaining to his
Office now gives currency to the absurd
story that we are "bolting" the ticket.
The editor Of this paper has tended SOLE
ly to his own business since the conven-
ton, something which he would COM
mend to the county officer referred to.
1t was his intention to refute certain
gross charges made against him during
the late canvass, at time when it could
not be charged that he was using his
own paper to enhance his own chances
of a nomination, but concluded, without
the interposition of any third party, that
the time pending an election would be
rather i'll chosen. The PILOT under his
management has always deferred to the
action of the convention, and furnishes
internal evidence sufficient to disprove
the statements of the official who resorts
to calumny and Justification.
On Monday succeeding the democratic
convention, the editor of the PILOT was
busted in suppressing a movement to
make him an independent candidate.
Was this ''bolting7" Since then he has
beer in his Office tending to business
that was neglected and writing in favor
of the whole ticket. Is this "bolting2"
Thackeray in Vanity Fair says when
man does an injury to another he can
never after do justice to the injured par
ty. Is not this descriptive of the over
officious person who is SO ready to belle
the editor of this paper? We leave this
matter for the present with the assurance
that in the future, delicacy will not deter
US from setting ourself right before the
people when we are unjustly assailed.
Another story is in circulation i'll
Maple Grove, through whose agency we
know not, that in case of Mr.. Viebahn's
election VS. would perform the duties of
superintendent. No such idea ever en-
tered our head; no such proposition WAS
ever made us. The story is lie in every
particular The action of the conven.
ton was final IS fer as we are concerned
and made our duty eieaf. We have
nothing but contempt for the idle threats
that accompany such a rumor, and do
not fear the enmity of those making
them any more than we value their
friendship. But as editor of democrat
ic paper we propose TO ref ute charges of
political treachery and brand the origin
ator of that story as an unmitigated liar.
We trust that language is clear enough.
