EesSrs. Editors lin your issue OF
Jan. 29th. see an article over the sig-
nature Of James r. Higgs. in which my
testimony 10 the contested election case
is pronounced false. There is also q
slight sprinkling of senseless jargon
about his position in politics, and being
bought, driven. ETC.. with other bright
thoughts which he condescends 10 give
10 the public.
What I have to say. Messrs. Editors,
will occupy hat little space. IN defin-
ing my position will state, that | am q
conservative and Independent in all
things pertaining TO politics. Really |
never trouble myself about Il as | have
other things that engross my attention.
which I deem more profitable. When

Had I have had any idea Of being sans

as I wish to have nothing 10 DO with
