EDS. HERALD:
My attention was called to uery small
local item In the Ohio State Register, bear
Ing upon an article written by GA Sol
der" In last weeks HERALD, and the edi-
tor of the Register has promptly denounced
it as a fraud, and the writer as coward
and liar, have decided as the boy did
when the mule kicked him, and pass on
with this to say: That the editor of the
truth and Democratic reform paper can
not truthfully contradict single sentence
in the article referred to; and, in concIu-
sion would say to the gentleman, while
know Democracy is floundering In the
last ditch, that all good and true soldiers
do sympathtse with you at the same time,
we can not forget your record, and only
ask you, In friendship, to bear with us
occasionally, that we may sell you OF
something's you can not, nor dare not re-
flute. Your, A. SOLDIER.
